my twin brother and i had gone through the transition together. it was our band of love. the numerous surgeries we had undergone to fully make ourselves who we truly were, we took on together. we were inseparable.

alas, all things good and innocent must come to an end.

driven by greed and want, a hole wedged its way into our bond. like an ember on a scroll, the charred edges would never be fully repaired.

on a faithful sunday morning, the king of the northern kingdon was brutally assassinated. for an unfathomable reason, perceus was chosen over erela to inherit the throne.

sexism? preferential treatment? it is a mystery lost to the ages. the king's council feuded for weeks, while the citizens were in dismay & shock over the death of their beloved king. while the city grieved, the council quickly came to the solution that perceus would be king and everything would be fine. they were horribly mistaken.

erela, for starters, was scarred for life. all adoration she had for the glory of sitting atop the golden throne had diminished. she now saw the bias behind it all, the unfairness & the corruption. she turned a cold shoulder upon it all, including her dear brother.

princess erela's supporters were outraged. some even boycotted the royal guard & its services. perceus tried his best to fill his father's shoes at such sudden notice, but all the weight of supreme royalty thrusted upon his shoulders at once turned him stiff and cold.

to all others, the now crown princess seemed unaffected. but underneath, the turmoil was nearly too much for her to handle. erela became bitter, envious, and tried her best to distance herself from the brother whom she loved endlessly. king perceus had attempted to squash the drive between the twins, but, to his great disappointment, failed as erela became more hardened and closed-off to others.

grief, greed, and jealousy are not an ideal mix for the soul. and in result, erela became deeply depressed. she was being pulled under a obsidian lake, filling her lungs and extinguishing the flame of hope lit inside her. and her buoy, the one thing keeping her shipwreck afloat, was drifting further and further away from her at her own fault. at the hands of the devil, erela became a vessel for hatred. life, once bursting with colors and love had morphed into a gray, bleak punishment for her selfish ways.

a river of tears, a glass of wine, a grieving princess. a throne of lies, a feeling of abandonment, a hopeless king. the two were incomplete. without each other, happiness was impossible. perceus and erela, disparaged twins. once inseparable, now ripped apart.

however, the story is not over. they say love finds a way, and in my case, it did. i love my brother more than anything that could exist. he means everything to me, so how could i let go of him so suddenly? i couldn't. i needed him. he was my emotional support system, my world.

i came to him. i emptied my grief upon him. i sobbed into his arms. he took my head in his hands and planted a kiss atop it. he sowed the seeds to a new chapter of our life.
