Gemini Background
Category: Stories

“It’s a tale that’s been passed down for generations. A story of twins, destined to be together for eternity. Always together in one life and the next. Story has it, when one twin passes away; they wait for the other before beginning again. This is the tale of Gemini, two halves of a single coin. We’re twins Kastor. Wouldn’t it be neat if we were always reincarnated together?”

The twins Kastor and Lux Tempes, unbeknownst to them, are the very twins of this tale., the twins were born. In their first life, fathered by one of the old gods, a mortal man, and a mortal woman. Raised as mortals, the two lived exceptional lives. During a great war, Castor was slain in battle. Pollux wept for her brother, offering her own life for his. This act moved the old god’s heart and in return, he granted the twins immortality through reincarnation. As Pollux’s life ended, she met her brother in the afterlife and the two were reborn. Stuck in a cycle of rebirth, the twins live their lives with no recollection of their formers.

In the month of June, two stars raced through the sky and a pair of twins took their first breath. Born in a small village, their mother looked at them with love and hope. Naming the twins Kastor and Lux, she wished them the same loyalty the twins of the story shared. As time passed, the twins grew into excellent adults. Lux studied all forms of text accessible to her while her brother Kastor learned how to use a sword and bow. Neither twin, aware of the misfortune to come, left their small village one day only to come back to see it burning to the ground. With the loss of their mother and friends, the two gathered what they could and set out, searching for the cause of their village’s destruction.
