A real story- ish.

It was odd, that such a pairing should be granted to co-exist. The two of them, odd as they came, could live marvellously around the other, without endangering themselves, without hiding. Two oddballs burdened by nature with strange powers, enclosed in lives of fear and guilt. Or at least so it had been, until their paths crossed.
Truly, Balthasar and Zed made wonderful friends, even though they were everything but alike. But while the elder couldn’t see the verse traveller’s thread, an occurance as reassuring as startling, the blonde had been quick to sense that he could not harm the other with his abilities. They could live in peace with each other, they could protect each other and fight worlds full of people who wouldn’t accept either of them.
And maybe, their tragic lives would turn upside down, and if fate would let it be, they would find shelter from pain and suffering in the other’s company, a shelter that would not only cloak the past but brace them for the present and future.
