xxxxxxxxxxxxx Dangling from the chain is a double infinity pendant,
xxxxxxxxxxxxx black in color, and matte. The black paint has chipped
xxxxxxxxxxxxx off in a few places, exposing the metal underneath.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx The positioning of one infinity is slightly offset from
xxxxxxxxxxxxx the other, indicating that perhaps the pendant did
xxxxxxxxxxxxx not originally contain both infinities.

When Calyx was just a viscling, his parents disappeared. So, Calyx had to live and grow up with his sister, Zaira. Together, the two would travel in search of food and a place to stay for a night. They always searched for their parents while they travelled, but their desperation decreased over time, until eventually they were certain that their parents were dead or did not wish to be reunited with their children. Calyx was the first one to give in, convincing his sister that he believed they should stop searching for their parents. Eventually, the stubborn female agreed with him. However, they continued to travel, hoping to find somewhere they could call home. The two viscets made the best of their time whenever travelling, and Calyx always tried to lighten the mood when his serious sister felt down. One night, he and Zaira stopped to rest in a town. They came across a pile of scrap metal on their way to find shelter, where Zaira found two pieces of metal, shaped into infinities. They each decided to take one, as a symbol of their closeness. Without each other, they might not have been able to survive on their own. However, as time went on, both encountered more dangers on their journeys. Sadly, one accident fatally wounded Zaira and devastated Calyx. So he took both infinities and attached one to the other, a reminder of his sister. He believes she wants him to remain strong and carry on.

Peering around a long-needled pine, a female viscet peered around for any sign of movement. The air was cool and damp; mist was forming over the roads and increasing the moisture. A soft drizzle accompanied the mist, dampening the roads even more.

"Coast is clear," the viscet muttered to another viscet behind her. He nodded and took a deep breath. "Still, be careful Zaira. I do not want you to get captured or injured." A smirk flickered across her face for a second, and then she turned away with a huff. Her retort came swiftly: "Oh please, Calyx, you know I can take care of myself."

She stole another peek around the boughs and tentatively stepped out into the clearing. The road before her was silent, except for the soft pattering of rain. Zaira inhaled, making sure there was no alarming scent, and then briskly made her way towards the road. The male, Calyx, watched with ears alert. Once she confidently strode towards the road, he dashed out to follow her.

Calyx was always ready to defend her if there was danger, but he never wanted to let on that he was so protective, especially since Zaira was a tough viscet who was sure she could handle challenging situations.

They crossed the quiet road and skirted the edges of the town, trying to pinpoint a safe location they could enter and explore for food or shelter. The tendrils of twilight were creeping in, turning the sky to a deep gray-blue. Since the sheets of mist had lowered themselves and had become dense, they too were grayish-blue from a distance.

"This is the perfect weather to disguise us," Zaira whispered to Calyx, and darted ahead. Small lights from nearby buildings shone through the fog, though they were quite useless against its gloom. Calyx ran after her, until they reached a small shed. "This might do," he remarked as she inspected each side. Her attention travelled to something glimmering a short distance away.

In the area, there was one light, and it was just strong enough to cast its reflection onto a few piles that were nearby. Both viscets curiously approached the piles, and before their eyes were mounds of scrap metal. Zaira perked up immediately. "Just think about how useful sharp pieces of metal could be! We'll have improved weapons!" She started digging through the pile, pulling out rods or long, sharp pieces of metal that she thought would best fit her standards of weapons. Calyx moved slowly through another pile. Most of the metal wasn't sharp enough or the right shape, but he managed to find a couple pieces to his liking.

When he returned, Zaira was cleaning up her pile of possible weapons; she had selected a few pieces and now she was putting the rest back. As soon as she saw her brother, her expression changed into a bright smile. It was one of the most lovely expressions Calyx had ever seen on his sister. What came next, however, practically melted his heart. It was the sweetest thing she had ever said to him.

She picked up a couple pieces of metal, both shaped into infinities, and announced, "You know something, Calyx? I love you infinity times infinity."
