Two for the Price of One ch.2
Ganon: Wishful Thinking
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the all-seeing Konotame was consulted on the birth of the twins she said, "It is possible that both children are key to the future of our race." How did everyone respond?
They laughed. "But Konotame!" They said, "One of them is a boy!"
Ah, the story of my life.

It had been five years since my sister and I were born and everyday I was reminded that my sister was destined to be great and that I was the trash that killed my mother.
I watched the girls train from my room. Telinga, the only other boy in our village, flicked a rock across the floor. "Ganon, I'm bored. Stop watching the girls and let's go catch some sand worms."
"Why can't we train like the girls?" I sighed.
" 'Cause we're boys. I wouldn't want to run around in the sun all day anyway."
A yell came from outside as a one on one fight ended. I looked back to see who won. "Nabooru… again."
"She's just a show off."
"No, she will be something when she comes of age. Nabooru is the destined one."
Telinga stood up, "Don't talk like that! You're the destined one too, 'member what Konotame said?"
"Remember what Sheshamari said?" I mimicked, my voice bitter, "Males don't amount to anything."
"It's not so bad." Telinga flopped back down on the floor and stared at the ceiling. "You'll get used to it."
"How can you stand not doing anything in your life?"
"You read don't you? That's doin' somethin'."
"That's not what I meant." I turned to watch the girls practice their blocks. A soft snore came from behind me; Telinga was asleep. "Lazy oaf." I muttered quietly.
