You are the princess, I am a servant
Destiny divided, pitiful twins.
If it's for the sake of protecting you,
I'll even become evil for you.
Long ago, there was once a kingdom, tyrannical and cruel, ruled over by a tiny princess of only 14. She oppressed her people ruthlessly, seemingly at whim, caring nothing for the pain and suffering she inflicted with her selfish ways. The only one to whom she showed any degree of kindness was her loyal servant; her own brother.
The princess fell in love one day, with the prince of the kingdom across the sea. When he rejected her and chose a common girl from a different land, her jealousy and anger led her to order the girl removed. This would spawn a war between the lands as the people rose against the tyrant.
When the time of ending was at hand, her servant came to her, trading his clothing for hers. He took her place and took her evil onto himself, dying in her stead at the execution scaffold and freeing the country with his life.
But then... no story is ever quite that simple...
Welcome to Gemini Divided, my imagined re-telling of the story of Aku no Monogatari. This story came about by several means; imaginative roleplaying between myself and a friend, love of Vocaloid fandom, and above all the wonderful story created by Akuno-P, also known as MOTHY.
To start off, I would first like to thank the wonderful authors and creators who were responsible for the works that have inspired this story. MOTHY for his creation of the original trilogy of Aku no Musume, Aku no Meshitsukai, and Regret Message; also, for his creation of Daughter of White, Haku's telling of the story. I would also like to thank the fan creators of the Daughter of Vengeance, Prince of Blue, Daughter of Green, and King of Purple songs/PVs. Each of these wonderful additions has brought a new facet to what I see as a wonderfully tragic, complex, and poignant story. I take no credit for the original concept of the story, or for the original portrayal of the characters. This is simply my opportunity to re-imagine the story how I would have written it, had it been my intellectual baby. Which, consequently, is what fanfiction IS. While Gemini Divided takes it's material primarily from the Story of Evil series and it's accompanying videos, it also references several other Vocaloid PVs and songs, all of which are listed below, with their creators (if I can find them). ^_^
Notes: As I have previously stated, this is a work of fiction, drawn off of and inspired by another work of fiction; the songs and PVs listed above. While they are the inspiration, and provide the backbone of the story, this version overall is my own creation. The individual songs and PVs are the intellectual property of their respective creators, I am merely borrowing them. Vocaloid, and it's respective official characters are copyright to their respective companies. Fanmade Vocaloid characters appearing in roles are copyright to their respective creators. All source material is used for personal enjoyment and entertainment only. Gemini Divided remains my own intellectual property, and all storyline additions and deviations from the accepted 'canon' of the original PVs is considered my own material.

The original story, as pieced together utilizing MOTHY's blog, the songs themselves, and other scraps of information, can be found here: .com/wiki/Story_of_Evil It should also be noted that Mothy himself has published a novelization of his story entitled Cloiture of Yellow. While this true canon gives non-Vocaloid names to countries and characters, and changes the story somewhat, I am choosing to stick with the original song-based canon.
Other songs and PVs used in Gemini Divided are used primarily as reference points for my own imagined backstory. Also, as MOTHY is well-known for tying his works together, I found it rather an homage to do the same with my story in regards to referencing.
In regards to countries and locations, rather than calling things simply 'the blue country' or making up another, unrelated name, I elected to use the Japanese words for the respective countries. Thusly, the countries and locations referenced are as follows:
Kiiroi - the yellow country, ruled by Rin.
Aoi - the blue country, ruled by Kaito.
Midori - the green country, where Miku and Haku come from.
Shiroi - the white country, no longer exists between Midori and Kiiroi.
Kurenai - the crimson country, far north.
Murasaki - the purple country, far northwest.
Towns and villages and other locations within a country can be identified to their particular country by name, as all names within a certain country will have the same colour theme. IE the town of Azure can be found in the country of Aoi, both names being a reference to the colour blue.
Vocaloid characters used are as follows, and are credit to their own respective creators. I have listed them in their cast roles in the story, regardless of how small. Vocaloid characters without a surname have been given the accepted fandom surname, or have been given one by me. Additionally, some character relationships have been created by me for storyline purposes. I will list accepted 'canon' names and roles in regular type, with additions/alterations by me in bold.
