Swirling -- Pulsating 5.11.2012

The elements swirl and pulsate. Fire and Ice. Water and Ice. Mortal enemies, did  you know? 

Both are a dichotomy, coexisting in one body. 

“Keep them together, my boy. Keep the enemies closer to you than even the closest of comrades. These two, though unable to serve willingly, will be your greatest assets.”  

The hand closes,  rolls around the elements, contained in the spheres. 

They clink, hissing as they meet. 

Mortal enemies, kept close, bound together. 

“One last thing. Do not ever make the fatal mistake of losing them.” 

“What happens?” 

“Calamity. Disaster. The end of all you know— love.
