"What's the difference between war and peace" An innocent daughter once asked her father.
"During Peace, Children burry their Parents and during War, Parents burry their children" The father replied with a sadden smile as he looked to his pure sister.
Those words would have meant something special to someone long ago before the long war started killing all without mercy. Fathers, Mothers, Sons and Daughters all dying without warning.
A war that been going on for hundred of years and show no end of showing, some wonder how war can still be raging on when the people themselves are almost dead. Well sighing up as a soldier is the only guarantee to be given two meals a day, a roof over their heads and clothes that weren't ripping apart. All they had to do was go off to war with guns and kill. No one feared killing since all still fought each other over scrapes of food and decent clothes in every barely standing town left. At least they be given a gun to kill instead of fighting up close and killing with their bare hands.
But two hundred years ago, a Hope was given to the world.
A daughter who stood up to look after her little brother while her father became a soldier and her mother long dead by sickness. A daughter who little brother became ill over the long winter and with how poor she and everyone else was during the war she had no hope in getting the medication.
But she tried stealing from a soldier who patrolled the town making sure to stop any main fights or killings to keep the people in place during such awful times. A soldier who caught her and was ready to bring her back to the base for punishment but she knew her brother wouldnt live if she was taken, a scream escape her lips.
The soldier blew up before her, his hand still gripped on her wrist while the rest of him was splatted around her. News hit the goverment and they came for her, taking her brother as well to keep her from using her unnormal power on them.
She was the first of many to be known as Gifted humans. Humans born with magical powers weak or strong they were gifted with them. But while gifted humans had powers and were clearly much stronger then simple humans, they did have a weakness. The core of their gifted power, the soul of their power was born into another. Theses humans were known as the gifted and the souls.
The souls held the true power of the gifted and was the reason each gifted human was born with power. But if a soul died or became a far distance from their chosen gifted, the gifted power would weaken. Some even lose their true power and become simple humans. Some keep a small amount of their power but will never be as strong as they once were. But the soul also stops the gifted from becoming ill, they keep their chosen gifted protected from sickness and the same can work for the other way round but only if a soul and gifted are kept close.
So the goverment after finding a gifted child looks for their soul and joins them before the age of ten making them form a strong unbreakable bond. These gifted and souls become weapons used for the war in hopes of ending it for once. Each gifted and soul are taken to private academies who help them gain control of the power better and work making the bonds stronger.
They teach the two to become soldiers.
But not all gifted and souls meet, some never meet while others meet later in life when the goverment never brought them to the schools. Weaker gifted are left in their towns often end up having their souls die as children and soon the weaker gifted ends up dead just years later.
But sometimes a rare soul is born, a Soul born with a different power to their gifted human. A soul that holds their own strength and magical power instead of making a copy of their gifted power. These souls live without their gifted while also keeping their gifted human alive from any sickness without knowing it.
Its rare to find a soul with their own true power and its almost impossible to catch one let along track one down. If the rare soul wanted to be found then they would give themselves in and if they were ready to bond with their gifted then they would appear before their gifted human.
Our story starts with a daughter, one who lost her parents to murder during such horrifying times.
Hunger and fear can force anyone to kill, even those who are kind and gentle.
She knew how cruel the world could be
But
She also knew how much beauty was still left in the world.
She was a rare soul who held blue flames, she giggles as she knew why her flames were such a beautiful blue. She knew her gifted human held ice powers becuase she felt the coldness run threw her body each time they used it. She was joint with her gifted even if she never met them.
She wondered who her gifted was but she had to keep such thoughts away and let her heart freeze over to protect herself from anymore harm from the ongoing war.
She turned cold and emotionless to save herself.
Now she stood on a muddy path, rain drenching her soldier unifrom as a hand gun was tightly gripped in her right hand. Her pale white skin now stained by blood from the poor man she just shot.
She felt no pain of guilt as her dull raven eyes looked at the dead man who laid before her. Her short pretty black hair that ended by her shoulders slightly stuck to her face thanks to the pouring rain. A scar under her right eye could be seen as she turned to the night sky letting the moon light shine over her.
She placed her gun back in her thigh holder before walking back towards the safe camp she was helping to keep safe and pure from the new sickness that was killing others in ways much worse then war and hunger.
She watched up close as someone slowly fills with a purple rash that grows slowly around the body, making the body give a rotting smell but they were clearly still alive. Anger and Hate takes over the person mind and they just attack anyone who close, killing them with their bare hands.
Some might have called them zombies but those who turn sick do not eat the living and well they still human who lose their minds. So far their is no cure apart from killing them, killing them set the person free who stuck only feeling pain from the rash and their minds being trapped in hate and anger.
She came to a halt when she felt eyes fall upon her from a distance and glanced over her shoulder finding no one.
But she knew who it was, this late at night meant her gifted was fast asleep somewhere safe with no clue to how bad the outside world became while he was in his protected academy. She knew his heart was trying to find her and he was dream watching her, she knew he couldn't see her face just like she couldn't see his. But they could see the other back, never their front just their backs like their bodies were hiding the truth from them. She knew he was a man like he knew she was a women and one day she would meet him.
She just didnt expect it be so soon and it would only take a call from her Twin brother.
