ON HAITUS

Ch•1•The Twins•

     In a chaotic and magical world, one man by the name of Philza was blessed with two children.
     Philza was an avian-human, and with an unknown woman he had two pointy eared children.
The twins looked like elves with their pointed ears and were nearly identical except for their noses. While Wilbur had a soft button nose, his brother Techno had a nose that was pulled back with long nostrils similar to the snout of a pig. Philza didn't mind the nonhuman features and quirks of his kids given that he wasn't fully human himself, but raising them to be decent civilized beings was hard when his kids were  as chaotic as they were.

     They lived in the forest in a small cottage, and that is where we will focus the beginning of this story.

     Techno sat beneath a tree, sharpening a wooden sword as Philza refused to let him have any other weapon.
His brown hair was in his eyes and he had a pout set firmly on his face, he always did and it gave him a bit of an underbite which made his sharp teeth very obvious. The little kid continued to brood beneath the tree and sharpen his sword, his red cape draped over his shoulders.

     "Hey Techno!"
Wilbur shouted, popping out infront of Techno, hanging upside down from the tree and startling the more pig-like hybrid twin. Techno swung his sword at his brother, and thankfully it was still dull so it only gave a dull 'thwap!' as he knocked his brother out of the tree.
Wilbur groaned as he hit the dirty floor,
     "Hey! Jeez...ow.."

     "Will! Why the hell did you do that? Don't scare someone with a sword in their hands you imbecile."
Techno growled out disgruntled as Will sat up touching his nose gently. He pulled his fingers away to see them stained with blood. Techno was acting like he didn't care at all but his ears tilted down at seeing his brother bleeding. Wilbur smiled sheepishly and held his hand up,
"Oops! Whatever, I'm fine Techno. Its no biggy, just a nose bleed." He wiped his hands off in the dirt and wiped his nose, watching Techno's ears twitch up again with a snicker.

     "Tch, what are you laughing at?" Techno asked annoyed, sucking his teeth upset. He crossed his arms and leaned against the tree with his eyes closed. Wilbur leaned closer and reached out.

     "Did you know your ears are way less defined then mine?"
He asked as he grabbed one of Techno's ears and rubbed it between his fingers,
     "Whooa, and your skin feels totally different!"

     Techno quickly smacked Wilbur's hand away from him,
"Don't touch me, peasant."

     Wilbur snorted,
"Dude we both live together, if I'm a peasant so are you."

    "Nope. I'm royalty." Techno stood up and whipped his cape out.
    "I am Techno, and I study the Blade!" he said seriously, holding up his wooden sword as Wilbur hid his laughter behind his hand, the back still streaked in blood.

     While the twins played in the woods behind the house, Philza was out front by the farm getting ready to make dinner for them all. He got a chicken from the coop and took it inside. He heaved a sigh as he killed the chicken, hearing the kids yelling in the backyard. Preparing dinner was a bloody and unappealing task, but dinner with his small family was always welcoming.

     Said family was currently breaking down a tree to make Wilbur a sword, making a mess of the backyard.

     "I'll show you Will, no one is better at battling than I am. Even my twin is no match for my skills."

     "Whatever! I'll beat you and then you'll finally be humbled, your highness~"
     Wilbur said sarcastically with a grin. He took a seat on the fallen log as Techno pried a twig off to make the hilt of his wooden sword.
Techno continued to work until his hands were covered in cuts and splinters, Wilbur singing softly the whole time he watched his twin work.
Hours passed and the sun was beginning to set, Philza leaned outside the backdoor.
