The Twins - Chaos Theories

The Twins

They said they would balance each other.
They threw each other out of sync.
That balance would never happen.
They chose one wield blades; the other magic
She dropped the books for the sword
He kept the books she dropped.
They trained them in both. Equally, in hopes of a balance
She became the Berserker. He became a Grand Wizard.
He could kill without a touch. She preferred a hands- on method.
They labeled a threat and an asset to the country.
Together, they were untouchable.
They were happy with that status.
They had all they needed from life.

Until one day the King ruled them a hazard.
He demanded their death.
He ordered their execution.
So their village cast them out.
She ranted as he ravaged their farms.
He seethed as she sank their ships
Brother and sister, together and alone
They set off to find adventure.
They met danger their first night out
Weapons drawn, spells readied
They fought against an army of two hundred
They fought as an army of two.
They fought if they were an army of two thousand.

What happened that night they say was myth
Others say it was a crime against god.
Others say it was a blessing from him.
Blessing or crime, it was only expected of those two.
Sister protecting her weaker brother.
She was cut down by a blow meant for him.
As she breathed her last, he fell into a trance.
"For my pain, may you receive joy.
For my tears,may you gain solace.
But never for your death shall I receive life.
Never shall we be separated by death.
So, stand once again, my dear sister.
And never leave me alone."

She rose from the ground with a scream filled with rage.
A scream ripped from her so loud.
It caused a downfall of ice.
He stood beside her, smiling
"For now on,  we cannot be separate.
We have become the balance they wanted."
She frowned as picked her blade.
"May his life give me power.
May his happiness give me rage.
But may you never leave my side!"
Many tried to run from her
All were too slow to escape the rage.
Only one was shown mercy.

"Run back to your king and tell him of this night.
We will leave this area!
Do not hunt us down!
Leave us alone!"
Only the brother spoke
But the sister's rage was heard.
Only after the last soldier ran off did she drop to knees
Tears ran down her face
"Brother, what did you do to me?"
He smiled his most joyous smile and said,
"I saved you as you saved me
"We have a balance only we could achieve.
We are forever bonded together, isn't that great!"

She hung her in shame
"My brother made me a monster
Yet he laughs through this storm of ice
While I cry with fiery pain
Yes, my brother. My master.
Dance for me
Laugh for me
For this is not a real life.
I am forever tied to you."

He raise his head high
"My sister made me a god
Yet she cries a stream of fire
While I dance with chilled glee
"No, my sister, My guardian.
"Fight for me
Lament for me
For this is the only life for us.
We are free of bonds of man and nature."
