Ayred and Tadhiela Hervyre pov
______________________
" Brother Ayred I'm tired. '' told my sister her face full of anger and hatred
Her black and gold body ragged from centuries of nonstop battle. For living creatures I felt nothing , but for my sister I felt deeply. Still I knew that this was our lot in life, to battle.
"So am I sister Tadhiela " I replied still like a rock in the midst of a storm
"Must we fight these abominations for all eternity" she answered exasperated breaking all objects that happened to have the misfortune of entering her path .
"It is the only way to save the monsters of this floor, It is the only way to save ourselves …the great one has decided"
"When will the terrors stop? one day we will die. It's inconceivable to believe that we will remain powerful enough forever" she said while destroy another innocent pillar
"That may be true but our duty calls" I replied, understanding the implications.
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
" would they do the same for us? " she tried to inspire sympathy
"No" I answered knowing the monsters we protected cared not for our existence,
it was in a monsters nature to be selfish , though we were immortal anomalies in more ways than one
"Brother… are you afraid? '' she asked, eyes focused on a crystal ball. The ball that binds us.
" of? "
" Freedom " she said with a small hesitation
" How so" I asked my older sibling
"You call it duty but I call it slavery , why have the descent fixed our station here"
" I do not know…, but what can we do against god" I answered honestly
“If this is all there is to our existence to die together under a horde of terrors , why should we not die together in a grandeur fashion. We should test fate and see. Brother… you lack will , while I lack calculation. I am hot and you are cold."
"Precisely" I said back to my other half
We are not actually brother and sister but were once one being , split into two by the porcelain deity.
"The only thing that we have in common is that we would do anything for each other"
Knowing my sister I knew what this was leading up to, blasphemy , but I let her continue.
" correct I love you dearly, and would be willing to destroy the world for you"
In Fact my sister was my world. The only thing stopping me from escaping , was knowing that God's wrath was undesirable. I've seen its strength first hand , something she has not.
" As would I brother " she said her voice becoming more thunderous
"Vows of love are nothing If not tested" Tadhiela said while walking over to the ball that was given to us by the porcelain descent
I should stop her but somewhere deep inside me I too wanted to taste this amorphous thing called freedom
"Brother I love you therefore I shall not let this continue "
Smashing the ball and by definition smashing our oath. A battle against God? Our days of immortality were numbered but for my only light in this darkness I was ready to face all things. I am willing to defend her decision to the very end.
" let us break the chains , let us suffer no longer" we said in unison
