insert some creation myth/janking from other myths like adam and eve and the start of the universe and humanity
life and death were the only ones. a shared person or two halves of a whole that separated and existed before all else. and through existing they saw the world blossom. life created, death took away and the managed the system of life and death together
as it grew and expanded they maintain their influence (mayhaps they can do this remotely; like breathing air, they tap into the system at play - running rivers in opposite directions that when needed they can personally manipulate, in the moment, but otherwise maintain themselves) bc otherwise there's too much to micromanage
ie. death's always happening all around but he can walk into a supermarket and be in its immediate effects and intervene or collect; handling death/time directly vs letting it wash away in the river to be recycled back through life's channels
