Betwixt

Upon the birth, there was much rejoicing in Mearth. The twins had been expected and prayed for over many years. The birth was simply the moment thousands of wishes were answered by a diety the people had long held blind faith in. Or so Meartheans believed.

The miserable wretches had completely forgotten that whenever Aurora answered one of their prayers, it held some great personal gain for her- after all, why else would a Goddess renowned for her obnoxiousness grant any wish?

The twins, however, were going to change not only the destiny of the Goddess Aurora, but the lives of all who had wished and hoped for their birth.

Good luck that was said to come from the birth of twins. As the people of Mearth were simple, kind folk
their only personal gain in the entire experience was the well-being of their kingdom and their ruler, that was to be guaranteed if twins were born within the ten years after the departure of The Visitor of Mearth.

Thus, on the dawn of the final morning of the tenth year of Absence the news of twins arriving to the heavily pregnant Lady May was news that brought not only the tears of joy, but tears of relief.

After all, who knew what evil would have befallen Mearth if twins had not graced their kingdom. Worse, what would have become of their king and queen had the day come to and end without the presence of twins?

What the people of Mearth failed to recall through their tears of gratitude and loud calls of thank Goddess', was what the Visitor had proclaimed the birth of Twins had potential to create.

And, that is where the importance of this tale lies.
