Zero. That was what my mum intended on calling me-if I were a boy, that is. Sadly, she was stuck with a girl. So I ended up being Trinity.
She did have a boy afterwards, but she didn't want to call him Zero anymore. She named him Tristan.
Mum had hoped for a boy who was like the number zero, empty, yet filled with infinite possibilities and a girl named Infinity, who was infinite, filled with so many things, yet still mellow.
But she got stuck with Trinity and Tristan, the both of us without any possibility, both of us stuck between the numbers zero to infinity.
We weren't numbers. We were elements. I was Fire and Earth, Tristan was Water and Air. Destruction and reincarnation, that was who we were.
Then I met Luke, who was all four elements, and possibly zero and infinity all at the same time.
