Tale of Holtsun and Shee

The Tale of Holtsun and Shee is a folk tale originating on the Acragas Plains. It tells of the story of famous rivals of warring tribes, Holtsun and Shee, who fought each other in six conflicts, and after a final, titanic fight lasting four days and three nights, they confessed their love to each other and united their two tribes. The Koja Karim clan claims these two as legendary ancestors.

Details
Though the tale is said to have differed in each retelling, one version named them more eloquently as Holtsun Early-Fire, the Mountain Shah, and Shee of the Suhartan, a jungle said to be only half in the mortal realm.

In their last clash, they met at the head of their armies, and upon seeing each other sought their counterpart out with smiles and glee, and fought until Shee's axe broke Holtsun's sword and Holtsun's shield dulled Shee's axe. (In other versions, their weapons differ).

Curiously, the genders of the two lovers do not seem set in stone and change from telling to telling, though they are both most commonly depicted as men.
