Chapter one Twins
As she humbly slept in her comfortable home located on the outskirts of Koema's palace her soft dark hair swept over her face and she breathed deeply.
Korusay dreamt of her sister, her twin sister, Kyata. Their looks are identical but their personalities are couldn't be more different. At birth Korusay and Kyata were given a gift from their godmother. Kyata was given the power to heal and Korusay the power of chaos. Unfortunately they way that they grew up and their ideas and outlooks matured neither of them had use for their gift. Kyata was very rebellious, reckless, and rambunctious. She was a fighter. She did whatever it took to get into a fight whether it is verbal or physical. It rejuvenated her, she loved it and she couldn't help it.
Korusay on the other hand was a peacekeeper and gentle. She hated fighting and would do anything to get out of a fight. She lived a quiet, happy, but lonely life. She had a beautiful home and a great job. She worked in the palace as a grim reaper along with Botan, who is her supervisor.
Kyata never had a good job and she decided to live with the humans because they are easy to fight and then never see again, unlike demons, who tend to track you down. Kyata jumped from job to job to keep her low end scummy apartment payments coming. But she was happy. She didn't need a fancy house to be happy she liked fighting, and that's what she did. One thing she did want and was extremely jealous of, was her sister's gift. She did like to fight but she also had some respect for her sister, Kyata knew that if she were going to quarrel over the power, Korusay would give in, but were would be the fun in that? So Kyata grew bitter toward Korusay for being so soft and not putting up a fight for what is rightfully her's.
Korusay would have much rather had her sister's gift but she preserved the thought of that her godmother gave this gift to her for a reason and that she should do away with it just yet. Their mother disapproved of all gifts and thought that they aren't necessary to celebrate that just make it so everyone buys and gets more meaningless stuff. Korusay only half believed in what her mother said, she didn't like material meaningless possessions but she did like giving gifts because they made the people she cared about happy.
She shifted in her sleep and moved her arm over her ear to stop the obnoxious ringing she heard. Then heart-pounding, she jerked up to a sitting position and realized it was her alarm clock. She wasn't late, it just scared her and the burst made her instantly forget the dream and her sister… She pressed the button and turned off the noise and sleepily wandered into the bathroom. Looking into the mirror she brushed her gleaming, straight, white teeth that she was almost obsessive compulsive about taking care of. She looked into her own dark blue eyes and told herself that today was going to be a great day, for some unknown reason she could just tell. She brushed her mid-back length dark brown hair into an updo that got it away from her face, work requirement. Korusay went downstairs to cook herself her favorite breakfast, omelets. After clearing her plate and washing it she then dashed outside to water the garden, were lots of berries and beautiful flowers of all sorts grew, but the sunflowers that grew tall against the house were her favorite. She didn't have a green thumb at all, she often wondered how the plants kept coming back year after year, she liked them but her care for the plants was minimal, always thinking 'They'll all be dead next year anyway.' But they weren't, they always came back.
She glanced at her watch, "Almost time to go…" she thought. She went back inside and upstairs to change into her kimono which she wasn't fond of, it was too bright, but she like her job and would have to deal with the bright teal and magenta kimono. She grabbed her oar and flew off the few blocks to the palace.
