Duality

There was once two twins

One gifted with the power of creation

One gifted with the power of strength

They cherished each other

Helping the other through harsh times

Until the strong twin desired for more strength

Although it was for good reason, the creator twin wanted the other to stay with her

But the strong twin was stubborn

This disagreement cleaved the two apart

Weaving hate and resentment between them

Each going their separate yet close paths

Until one day

They were reunited by their Maker

Though for malignant reasons

The creator and the strengthened, both cut down by their Maker

As the light faded from their eyes

The creator used the last of her energy

To make a weapon for the strengthened

With the balance of their souls shifting, the strengthened became the supernatural

With strength of mountains and agility like the wind

The grieving twin sought revenge on her Maker

Before the Maker could even comprehend, he was cut down

Just as he cut down the two twins
