How Death Came to the World: The Tale of God's Delayed Message

African creation myth illustration depicting three key moments in a traditional storytelling format. The central focus shows a village scene with elders gathered around the first dead man, with expressions of confusion and sorrow. To one side, show the dog messenger distracted on his journey to God, perhaps chasing something while forgetting his important task. To the other side, show the dutiful sheep delivering its message to the concerned villagers. Art style: traditional African folk art with symbolic patterns and earthy textures. Lighting: mystical quality with divine light streams suggesting God's realm above. Color palette: rich earth tones for the village scene, contrasting with ethereal blues and whites for the divine realm where messages originate. Perspective: layered narrative showing all three critical moments simultaneously. Background: traditional African village with spiritual symbols suggesting the boundary between life and death. Mood: solemn and mythic, capturing the origin of mortality. Include details like the warm ashes mentioned in the true message, the burial scene based on the sheep's message, and the final image of the dog being driven away from human settlement as punishment
