Birth and Creation
As the sun chariot rose higher in the sky, and the might of Helios shone once again on the world, Morpheus returned to the shadows. Both Calliope and Alecto gained little satisfaction from their victory. With years of servitude in front of them, they not only needed to confront their past, but also think of protecting their still unborn child. The two lovers fell from the chariot to the earth, holding each other close. But the Gods of Olympus let them land softly on the ground.
As the two lovers softly landed back on the earth, they saw Athena and Helios appearing in front of them. The two Gods walked up to the two lovers, wanting to personally thank them for what they have done for Olympus, and the world. "My thanks is great, Lady Death and ex-Fury Queen." Helios started. "You have saved my life and in the you have saved mankind. Though we mourn for the loss of Persephone, her evil plan had to be stopped."
"You are both remarkable warriors. Olympus owns you a great dept." Athena said with a smile.
That was when Alecto then said to them seriously. "Yeah, now that you're mentioning it, you do owe us a great deal, Athena. We need to talk about Calliope's condition! She-"
Athena raised her hand, interrupting Alecto. "We are already aware of your lover's condition, Alecto. Aphrodite had told us of Calliope's pregnancy before we went into our forced slumber. Me and Helios have talked with Zeus about it, and he has agreed... that you both deserve a time of rest, until the child is born."
When Athena and Helios took back Zeus's gauntlet and the Sun Shield, Calliope and Alecto were thankful that the Gods allowed them to take a break from their service to them, but both were worried about what would happen if Ares would found out.
Athena then said to Calliope. "Ghost of Sparta, though your pregnancy is a gift, your condition will make you weaker in the coming months. Thus it will make you more vulnerable to my brother Ares."
"What do you suggest we do?" Calliope asked with a concerned look on her face.
Helios stepped in and answered. "Your best option is to go far away from Ares's influence and stay at that place hidden."
"But where should we go?"
Athena then said "That is something both of you need to figure out yourselves."
Alecto was angry at hearing that the Gods don't want to help them with their problem. "What do you mean we need to figure out ourselves?! We just saved Olympus, Athena!"
Athena raised her hand. "Let me finish. We reason we cannot tell you where to go, is that Ares will then easily figure out where you are. My advice is to go somewhere where no war has been fought for a long time." She said before she left with Helios, back to Olympus.
While the two lovers walked down the mountain, Alecto was still mad that the Gods didn't want to help in this case. Calliope was also not happy about it but once they got back on their ship, they both calmed down, knowing what Athena told was true. If they did tell them where to hide, Ares will find them.
In their hut, they used a map to think of a place where to go but Calliope couldn't think of a place where no war had been fought for a long time. Then as the Ghost of Sparta had to vomit because of her pregnancy sickness, she ran back on deck and puked over the side of the ship. When she finished, she watched the horizon. "A place where no war had been fought for a long time." She mentally thought. Then she remembered one of the stories that her father, Kratos used to tell her when she was younger...before it finally came to her. She knew a perfect place to stay hidden, far away from Ares's influence! She walked to the captain and said. "Captain! Set course for Troy!"
The ship's captain looked surprised to the Ghost of Sparta and asked. "Troy? But, that place is a ruin-"
"That's an order, captain!"
Quickly the captain nodded, as he knew what the Ghost of Sparta was capable of. "Y-yes, milady."
Alecto had heard her lover talking to the captain and asked her. "Are you sure that is where we should go, baby?"
Calliope looked at Alecto and explained. "Yes. My father once told me that that city was destroyed, but think about it, Alecto. Nobody has been living there for centuries, which means there hasn't been a war there for a very long time. So Ares has no influence there."
After hearing it, Alecto knew that it was a perfect place to stay hidden. "Yes... yes of course! But... how are we going to survive there if we are staying there for... 7 months?"
Calliope took her lover's hands and answered. "We'll live off the land. We'll also take some seed with us so we can grow some food, like..."
Alecto smiled and finished her line while she stroked her cheek. "Like normal people." She said, making Calliope smile before they kissed with a passionate fire before going back to their but to get some well deserved rest.
After days of sailing, the ship arrived at the coast of the ruined city of Troy, making the crew confused as to why the Ghost of Sparta and the ex-Fury Queen wanted to come here. Before they went offboard, Calliope and Alecto told them that all will be explained in time and that they should return after 7 months. The ship's captain, who was always obedient to them, promised that they will return in 7 months and the crew gave the 2 women some provisions for a few weeks and some seed to grow some food if necessary. When the ship left, Calliope and Alecto took the 4 big bags of provisions with them and walked to the ancient city of Troy.
They walked inside the city where the mighty walls of Troy once stood and saw that there was now nothing left, for they were demolished after the Greeks conquered the city. The once beautiful buildings were mostly destroyed or was nothing left of it and that Nature had mostly taken over. Calliope and Alecto searched the city for a place to stay and after searching for a few hours, they found a good spot in the destroyed King's palace, for a large section was still intact and provided good shelter for Lady Death and the Fury Queen. When they left their stuff and built a small home inside, they checked the old gardens of the palace. It was completely overgrown, but the soil was still fertile to grow something in it.
That night, Calliope and Alecto cuddled close to another in their bed. Both were naked and gave each other soft kisses before Calliope broke the kiss and looked very worried. "What is it, babe?" Alecto asked with concern for her lover.
Calliope became sad as she sighed deeply. "I'm afraid, my love. What if Ares finds us... and takes the baby?"
Alecto put a finger on her lover's lips and began rubbing her hair."Shhhh. I'll let nothing happen to you or our baby, Calliope. Not while I'm around."
This warmed Calliope's heart, knowing that no matter what happens, she will always have Alecto at her side. After giving each other a few more soft kisses, they fell asleep in each others arms.
As the months went by, Calliope's belly grew as she had reached her 5th month of pregnancy. She wasn't suffering anymore from vomiting, but had a greater appetite as she ate more than she did before her pregnancy. Alecto provided her with as much as possible, as she knew how it felt when she was pregnant with Orkos. But besides living off the land by hunting or growing food from their garden, they kept training. But Alecto didn't let Calliope to train herself to hard, for it might do harm to the baby. They had also made lots of love together, though they had to be more careful and take it easy because of Calliope being pregnant.
Meanwhile On Olympus
Ares had grown more frustrated as he hadn't heard any news about Calliope and his former lover's whereabouts. He then teleported himself to where some of his monster commanders were, making them shocked to see their master before they bowed to him. "L-lord Ares."
Ares grabbed 1 of them by the throat and asked fiercely. "Have you found the Ghost of Sparta and my former lover?" When the monster shook his head out of fear, Ares ripped his head off in anger! He then looked furious to the other commanders as he dropped the dead monster, but still held his head. "This is what will happen to all who fail me! Look for them! LOOK EVERYWHERE!" He ordered, making all the monsters run out of fear and they started looking for the Ghost of Sparta and the former Fury Queen.
In another section of Olympus
The smith God, Hephaestus was busy in his personal forge that was down below in his basement, making some new armor or weapons for the Olympian guards. As he was going outside for a break, he heard the two goddesses Athena and Aphrodite, his ex-wife, talking to each other around the corner. Hephaestus came a bit closer, but not too close so they wouldn't see him and listened to what they were saying.
Athena was the 1st to speak."One day, Aphrodite... The Ghost of Sparta and the Fury Queen will need to confront my brother, Ares."
Aphrodite sighed. "I know, Athena... Ares has become so much power hungry, that he needs to be stopped. It's infuriating that I ever fall for a guy like that, now he just ignores me, when he used to be sweet and kind to me."
Hephaestus was disgusted to hear his ex-wife saying how she used to like Ares and had an affair with him, which was the reason she left him, but he still had feelings for the Goddess of Love. But then as the goddesses left, Hephaestus started to think. "So... Calliope and Alecto will soon face Ares. But that means... that they need the power to kill a God... from the Box of Chaos!" He thought to himself before the Smith God's eyes went wide as he knew that Lady Death will need the power from the Box to kill Ares.
Back in his place, he thought really hard about what to do about this. When Hephaestus created the Flame of Olympus, he said that he created the Flame only to be a symbol of power of the reign of Zeus, but actually created to keep the Box of Chaos in it, so nobody could ever touch the forbidden powers, nor release the evils of the world. It was then as he was finished that Hephaestus started to doubt Zeus's true intentions, so he lied that the Box would be destroyed if it was put in the Flame. Zeus, being as trusting as he was, believed his son. When the forbidden powers were sealed in the box it was brought to be kept in the temple on the back of the Titan king, Cronos. But now the Smith God was a little bit panicked. If Zeus finds out that the Box can withstand the Flame, Zeus will know he had lied and will punish him for it, making Hephaestus think deeply of what to do. How can someone pass the Flame to retrieve the Box when necessary? "The Flame is the lock, and it will need a key to open it. But what... what can be more powerful to destroy the Flame to get the Box, if Zeus will ever put it in the Flame?" Hephaestus knew that nothing in the world, nor any power of the Gods was strong enough against the Flame. It was then the Smith God knew what to do, he had to find a way to destroy the Flame for when the time would come! He needed to create something that would serve as the Key.
The next day, Hephaestus told Zeus that he wants to experiment on the Flame on Olympus. Zeus, thinking that it was another idea from his son to create something powerful for the Gods, allowed him to do so. When the Flame was moved to Hephaestus' Forge, he started to work on the Key and said mentally to himself. "I know Zeus is my father, but the way he rules the world and the humans is not right! Someday, The Ghost of Sparta will rise up against Zeus, as the Sisters of Fate foretold. I know she will, the Sisters are never wrong about any of their prophecies. And when that day comes, Zeus will pay for what he has done!"
Back with Calliope and Alecto
Calliope had reached her 7th month of pregnancy. She was more tired than she had ever been before, but still wanted to help her lover with anything. But Alecto kept telling Calliope that she needed her rest, because she knew how it felt to carry a baby when she was pregnant with Orkos. Both Lady Death and the former Fury Queen still didn't know if they should take the baby with them on their journeys or keep her hidden and to be raised by someone they can trust. Calliope was making some arguments about it with Alecto, but that was the result of her pregnancy.
"Calliope, if we take our child with us there is no guarantee that it will be unharmed!"
"The same holds true if we bring our child somewhere else! It would be harmed in the same way if Ares ever finds our child!"
Alecto felt that her lover was right, but was so afraid that if the child were to be killed, she would never forgive herself because they didn't simply let the child being taken care of by someone else. She sat on the bed with her face down. "But... if our baby is killed when we take her... I won't be able to bare it, my love! I would never forgive myself. I already lost 1 child and I can't bear the thought of losing another."
Slowly, while holding her belly, Calliope came to sit next to Alecto. "I won't know what to do as well, baby. But... it will still be the same way if our child will be killed when she is somewhere else."
Alecto nodded, but was confused as Calliope said that the baby was a she. "Wait... did you just called our baby...a she?"
Calliope smiled as she stroked her belly. "I... don't know why, but I feel somehow that it's a girl. And if it is, I already have a name for her."
Alecto smiled as well as she held her lover's belly. "Was it because of the vision I showed you a few years before?"
Calliope laughed a bit and nodded. "Yes." They kissed with passion for some minutes, until Calliope broke the kiss and said softly. "If we keep her with us, then she will have both of her mothers around. But if we send her away... she will grow somewhere she doesn't truly belong... I want to keep her, Alecto. And I know that you want to keep her, too."
Alecto sighed deeply as she looked into Calliope's eyes. She then smiled as she said while stroking her lover's belly. "Okay baby, we will keep our child with us."
Calliope smiled as she kissed her lover with such passion. "And I promise that we will be better parents to her than even my dad, because we will be by her side, no matter what happens."
7 weeks later
Calliope neared her 9th month of pregnancy and was unable to do much. Her back hurt and even her feet hurt from her big belly. She lied on the bed while rubbing it, feeling a big kick from the baby. "Ow!" She said before she then laughed as the baby wanted to play. She kept rubbing her belly and felt the baby moving to the place she rubbed and then to the other side as Calliope rubbed at her other side of her belly. "My, you're quite the energetic little girl, aren't you, my sweet princess? Just like your mommy."
Meanwhile
Alecto was hunting just outside of Troy. While she carefully approached a deer, ready to kill it with her bow and arrow. However, she was spotted by 2 undead soldiers of Ares, who were searching in the area. 1 of them told the other. "Send word to our master, tell him that we've found the former Fury Queen."
The other undead soldier nodded. But as he was about to leave, he accidentally made a sound, which Alecto heard. She turned around and was shocked to see the 2 undead soldiers. She aimed her bow quickly and killed the first one, while the other tried to flee but Alecto pursued him.
Just as the undead soldier thought he had lost her, he contacted Ares. "Master, we have found Alecto! She is at the ruins of Troy! No doubt that The Ghost of Sparta is here, too and-" He said before his head was cut off by Alecto before he could finish his words.
Alecto panted as she had to sprint to catch the soldier, but knew she was too late and quickly ran back to Troy to warn Calliope.
Meanwhile On Olympus
Ares had received the message and smirked. "So... my ex-lover and my champion are at the ruins of Troy?" He asked before he chuckled evilly. "Very clever, ladies. But not good enough." He then used his power to contact all his minions in the area. "The Ghost of Sparta and my ex-lover are found! They are hiding in the ruins of Troy! Go my servants! Go to Troy and kill them both!"
All the undead soldiers and monsters that were in a hundred miles away from Troy had heard their master's call before they all started going to the ruins of Troy and to kill Lady Death and the former Fury Queen.
With Calliope
The Ghost of Sparta saw her lover coming back, but was surprised to see her running so fast. "Calliope! Calliope!" she yelled before comic in and breathing heavily.
"Alecto? What's going on?"
"They found us! While I was hunting, a few undead minions of Ares spotted me! I tried to kill them before they could contact Ares, but I was too late! He knows where we are."
Calliope was shocked to hear this but was determined as she tried to stand up from the bed. "Let them come! We will show those...!" She tried to say but she nearly collapsed because of her condition.
Alecto got her in time as she helped Calliope to stand up she said. "No Calliope, you cannot fight in your condition."
"But I..."
"Leave it to me, alright?" Alecto begged, not wanting her lover or their child harmed. After a minute of thinking, Calliope slowly nodded and sat back on the bed.
For the next few hours, Alecto was setting lots of traps around the ruined city and made also some extra protection for their last stand at the ruined palace. When she came back, the sun was almost down. "I made as many traps as I could, baby..." She said before she saw Calliope held her Blades of Chaos in her hands. Alecto sighed as she sat next to Calliope, holding her hands with the Blades down. "Leave the Blades, I will take care of this."
But Calliope shook her head and started crying. "No! I can't let you fight those monsters alone, my love! I don't want to see you get killed!"
"Calliope calm down, please".
But immediately she tried to stand up, while holding her belly. "I will fight beside you, Alecto!"
But just Alecto wanted to stop her, they heard a loud horn coming from the distance. Alecto ran to the window and saw over 500 monsters, marching to the ruined city. "They're here." She said before running to get her swords in the corner of the room.
Calliope walked slowly to get ready for battle, but Alecto stopped her again. "Calliope, stop! You need to rest! Think about the baby!"
But Calliope shook her head again. "NO! I WON'T LEAVE YOU TO FIGHT-!" But then all of the sudden she felt an enormously agonizing pain from under her belly. "AAAARGH!" She grabbed her belly while falling on her knees.
"Calliope?!"
Calliope tried to tell that nothing was wrong, but then felt water flowing out of her pussy, making her eyes widen. "By the Gods... my water just broke!"
Alecto was completely shocked. "Oh no, not now!" She mentally yelled to herself. Before she helped Calliope to get up and laid her on the bed.
Calliope felt another contraction coming. "AAAAAAH! It hurts!"
Alecto kissed her forehead. "Just hang on, I'll be right back!" The former Fury Queen said before she ran out of the room to go and fight all the monsters that would come too close to the castle.
"No, Alecto! Come ba- AAAAAARGH!" Calliope yelled, trying to get her lover to come back, but was interrupted by another powerful contraction, making her breath heavily.
With Alecto
The ex Fury Queen saw that the monsters had entered the city. Some fell easily into Alecto's traps and were killed, but there was still so many. Then the heavily armed centaur commander spotted the Fury Queen close to the ruined palace and roared to the others to begin their attack. Alecto drew her swords, ready to face them all. "Come and get me!" She yelled as she began to fight with the monsters and with her skills, she was able to hold her own against them.
With Calliope
After more than an hour, Calliope still suffered from the strong contractions. She breathed heavily as she tried to get up but was successful. As she approached the window, she saw her lover slaughter many monsters, but it was getting more difficult as more stronger monsters came for her.
"Alecto." Calliope said, knowing that she needed to help her lover. She took her Blades and slowly went out of the room. But was stopped every time she got a strong contraction and nearly fell to the floor. When the pain died out in a few minutes, she prayed while rubbing her belly. "Sylvia, sweetheart... please... let mommy help your other mommy. Please! Just let me do this!"
Back with Alecto
Alecto fought fiercely, but was slowly losing her energy before she was then attacked by a horde of centaurs. Alecto was able to block their attacks, but was knocked back by them after a while.
Calliope came outside as thunderclouds gathered over the city. The rain poured as she slowly walked to where her lover was fighting. Some blood came from her because of the labor, but she needed to help Alecto. Then as The Ghost of Sparta saw her lover on the floor, nearly unconscious, her eyes went wide. "Alecto."
Then as the Centaur commander went to deal the final blow, Calliope's Spartan Rage ignited! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Calliope roared out before she charged with her blades in hand, with lighting striking every five seconds. The Centaur commander had barely any time to react as Calliope's attack sliced him in half! The other centaurs attacked the Ghost of Sparta, but were all killed in a few seconds because of Calliope's strong attacks, making the remaining monsters flee.
Alecto saw what happened, with no words coming from her as Calliope's spartan rage died out and she nearly collapsed but was caught by her lover. "Calliope... you... you saved me."
Calliope smiled to her lover. "There's... nothing... that can keep me... from you." She said before she got her strongest contraction so far. "AAAARGH! I... THE BABY IS COMING!" She yelled as started to push. Alecto wanted to get her inside because of the rain, but she had no choice but to do the delivery here and now. As the rain kept pouring, Calliope panted as she gave several pushes. "AAAAAAAAAH!"
As Alecto looked down, she saw the baby's head was out. "Calliope... the head is out!" She said before she stood ready to hold the baby. After a few more deep breaths, Calliope gave 1 final push. "NNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" And then... the pain was gone and she heard her baby crying loudly.
Alecto took the baby with tears in her eyes as she said to her lover. "Calliope, you were right. It's a girl" Before she gave the baby to Calliope and then raised her up and carried her back inside the palace.
Calliope cried out in joy as she laughed a bit to finally see her baby daughter. "Sylvia… our little Sylvia." She said with joy before she gave the baby a kiss on her head, making cute little girl giggle.
As Alecto got Calliope back in their room, she immediately took a lot of towels to clean the baby and to make sure Calliope wouldn't catch a cold because of being in the rain. While cleaning the baby, Alecto was shocked to see that little Sylvia had a big birthmark that went from her face to the right side of her body. It was almost similar to Calliope's big tattoo. When she cut the umbilical cord and held the baby close to her, too, the baby, Sylvia opened her eyes to see her other mother. Alecto forgot the whole birthmark thing and smiled to her newborn daughter. "Heh.. hi there. I'm you're other mommy. Yes, you have 2 mommies little 1."
Alecto then gave the baby back to Calliope and while she held Sylvia, Alecto sat close to her. Both were so happy to have their baby daughter finally born, but then Calliope became surprised to see the birthmark on her daughter. "By the Gods, that birthmark! It's almost like..." However, as she watched it closely she was more surprised that it was almost like in the form of Calliope's tattoo. Lady Death then suddenly remembered the story that her father, Kratos told her about his brother, who had a birthmark like this and that was the reason her father got his tattoo in the 1st place, to honor of his dead brother.
Calliope looked at Alecto, who asked. "Looks like what?"
Calliope then told Alecto the story of her dead uncle, who according to her father, Kratos died a long time ago and had a birthmark like Sylvia's. Alecto understood and asked with a smile. "Then... I guess she is a warrior from birth, huh?"
Both mothers laughed as Calliope nodded. "I guess so." Before they shared a kiss and kept looking at their daughter.
Alecto then said. "You know what? I like that name, Sylvia."
Calliope nodded. "Sylvia. Our little warrior, Sylvia."
Back on Olympus
Ares was furious at the failure of his minions and killed most of them out of rage. "AAAAAARGH! YOU COWARDS!"
1 monster pleaded. "Lord Ares... please... There is more-" Ares grabbed him by the throat. "What more!?"
"The.. ghost of Sparta... gave birth... to a baby."
Ares was surprised to hear that and let go of his minion. "A baby?" He then went to his giant mirror table and looked through it to see if it was true and saw The Ghost of Sparta and his ex-lover together with their baby daughter on their bed. But then Ares saw the big birthmark that the baby had and was surprised. "That... birthmark. It's just the same as... Deimos?!" Then he started to smirk evilly and laughed. "Then perhaps... it was this child all along that is destined to kill my father, Zeus. I'll keep a close eye on her. Maybe she'll become a better pawn then her mother!" The God of War then ordered his remaining monsters to look out for this girl and bring it to him and kill Lady Death and his ex-lover when the need csme.
A few weeks later
Alecto and Calliope's ship had returned to the shores of Troy and the captain spotted the two lovers on the beach, but the crew was surprised to see that Calliope held a baby in her arms. As they both got on board with their child, one of the crew asked about the baby. "Ehh, miladies? Who is the little one?"
Calliope looked at the crewman and said. "She's our daughter."
Everyone was surprised to hear that, but only the captain was informed by the Athena about the situation and told the crew. "It's alright men! I will explain everything later." And with that, all the crew nodded and went back to work.
The captain then said to the two lovers. "I... have already prepared a separate hut for your child, miladies."
Alecto thanked the captain. "Thank you captain, but i think... that our child should sleep with us. For the first few months." She said with a smile, the captain nodded and went back to the rudder as Calliope and Alecto went back to their quarters with their baby daughter.
3 months later at Olympus
Hephaestus had been trying for months to form a key out of the Flame of Olympus, but failed every time. The pressure was too much for him and he became more frustrated as more time passed. As his last attempt had just failed, he completely lost it and slammed all kind of things in his Forge. "AARGH! I CAN'T DO IT!"
He hit and broke many things, until he held a bottle that said. "Tears of Aphrodite". Hephaestus remembered when he took them, the day he and Aphrodite got married. She was so happy that she shed tears of joy and Hephaestus had kept them after all this time because deep down he still had feelings for the Goddess of Love.
But then, out of his anger, he threw the bottle in the Flame, destroying the bottle (or so he thought) as he shed a tear as he left started to leave the Forge, giving up to create the Key. But slowly, the Flame began to act differently, making Hephaestus stop and turn to the Flame before his eyes went wide. "It's... it's working?" He asked before he went to the Flame to do the last bit of magic, but the key was still unstable. Hephaestus looked around, but had destroyed most of his stuff and had nothing to put in the Flame. The thing inside the Flame became more unstable, making Hephaestus desperate as he quickly improvised and just took some of his hair out and put it in the Flame.
Slowly the Flame became stable and inside it... something formed, making Hephaestus' smile grow. "It's working. It's finally working!"
But then... huge sparks of the flame went out and the Flame changed into different colors. Hephaestus didn't knew what was happening until the Flame went brighter and brighter and brighter! Until the flash was nearly blinding him. When the light went out and the Flame became its normal size again, Hephaestus saw that the Flame left something of it behind, beginning to form until it made... a baby's cry. The light went out and the from it took was left a baby child.
Hephaestus couldn't believe it, the Key was not only formed, it also took a life of its own, an infant baby girl. The Smith God carefully took it and held her on his big hands. The baby girl had brown hair and little bit of blond on her head before she opened her eyes, seeing Hephaestus. She smiled at him, making Hephaestus smile at her, too. He didn't know what he felt at that moment, but he was feeling like... he had just became a parent. He held her close and carefully rubbed her little belly, making her coo and giggle.
Then Hephaestus said with a fatherly smile. "You're going to need a name, huh? I'll call you... Pandora."
And so, on that day, 2 forms of life were brought into the world. 1, a daughter of Champions and 1, a daughter of a God. But both of the little girls were on different paths in their childhood. For Sylvia, she traveled across Greece with her mothers to serve the Gods of Olympus and being trained in combat, and it turned out she was just as strong as her mother, Calliope when she had asked her father Kratos to train her, even inheriting Alecto's unnatural strength. As for Pandora, because she was created by Hephaestus and not born in the natural way, most on Olympus, including the Gods, saw her as a 'thing' and not a real person. While this did hurt Pandora, Hephaestus was always there for her and grew to love her as his daughter, and Pandora grew to love Hephaestus as her father. But 1 day, these 2 girls destiny would entwin, creating an eternal bond so strong, nothing and no 1 would be able to break apart.
