Jacob and Jacoba

JACOB AND JACOBA
Once upon time, in a land not far, were a born prince and his baby 
sister.
Their names given were Jacob and Jacoba.
Now the tale goes that Jacob was a very insisting child.
His sister Jacoba is his twin and cries all day and night.
When four months of life had transgress, they had grown profoundly  
     intelligent.
Here’s the narrative!

***********
Jacob is a very insisting child.  His sister, Jacoba, is his twin and cries all day 
and night.  They are infants with the age of four months now.  They will grow 
to be healthy children after a while.  Yet their faith will bring their empire.  
The reliance will come from far away.  Thus, all will deceive the family of the 
infants.  The struggle will not be perceived as such and Jacob is as smart as a 
whip.  If there is no way for him to find out, his commitment will be in self.  
Therefore, he will succeed without anyone's help.  Jacoba has sensed wealth.  
She desires to be famous.  She is very creative and loyal to her blood and 
therefore, she will define her empire.  Nevertheless, her twin must achieve to 
and that is when she discovered her royal blood.  It was her belief in who she 
would become.  Now if this story goes in a twist, Jacoba's success will be 
similar to Jacob's.  However, if this tale is told correctly, Jacob has discovered 
his empire directly.  Nevertheless, if this is just the imagination, the 
enrichment of each will be shared throughout creation.  Nonetheless, is not to 
be discussed.  This will manifest before all of us.  Although Jacoba is now 
Empress in 1600 A.D., her brother Jacob has been crowned King.  The 
endowment was given to them through a spell cast on their parents when 
they were merely ten.  The harmony of this was it was never remove and 
strangely, their origin became under their ruling.  Sovereign the people said 
they were to Empress Jacoba in the North and East and their Ruler was King 
Jacob in the South and West.  Their people never told them why but soon 
they life would change before their naked eyes.  Amidst tranquility and peace, 
a metamorphosis happens to each.  Neither knew that they had change and 
therefore, they bond did not remain.  Resemblance they kept yet, neither 
saw this and discord becomes present with each.  A war would transpire 
and unity will become more desired.  Would concord end the war and if so, 
would Jacob and Jacoba remember they are sister and brother?  The 
aphorism to these twins' lives is that family is always a cease-fire!
