A/N: This is a new story with characters based on an alternate universe. I want to know which one of my two stories is better so I decided to post this one up as well.

Dark Meets Light (A/N: I might change this stupid title.)
An Unknown Twin
xxxxxxxxxx
A soft, comforting ball of radiant light floated at the very center of a dark circular room. The floor directly beneath it had strange markings - a symbol of some sort. The symbol seemed to be a blend of darkness and light. There was the sun - a symbol of light - and the moon - a symbol of darkness - with a star encasing the two combined symbols: the star - a symbol representing both light and darkness... either or. Thirteen colors surrounded this symbol. Thirteen colors that represented the Jewels of the Blood - both in the Realms where Darkness and Night rule and in the Realms where Light and Day dominated.
A lone figure slowly stepped towards the center of the symbol - towards the ball of light. Sapphire eyes, made darker by the lack of light in the room, stared intently at the ball. Raising his arms, he basked in the gentle light the ball was giving before wrapping his arms around it in an embrace.
Another figure emerged from the darker parts of the room and approached her. This figure was smaller, more delicate - more female.
She knew that the male had sensed her presence. However, his lack of acknowledgement did not bother her at the very least. She knew he would focus his attention on her soon enough.
"Isn't life so bleak?" a low, clear voice filled the room. It was the male. He still hadn't shifted his attention from the ball but he was now addressing her. "Everywhere I look, there are lives that seem so miniscule yet all of them have a purpose. For to have no purpose... What is the point of that existence? For the greater beings' entertainment?" He let out a chuckle. "That I do not believe."
The female could not help but smile. "Suddenly so philosophical... Should I be worried, my boy?"
The younger, golden-haired male finally unwrapped his arms from the ball of light. He slowly twisted his upper body a bit to look at the female standing behind him. He was smiling, eyes a deep sapphire blue.
"I think I'm going to visit my twin sister. Heaven knows I haven't seen Jaenelle in a couple of decades."
