The Beloved and the Accursed: two sides of one coin, Blessed by the gods, lives forever adjoined. Both touched by the light and the dark, With wrath’s caress and fecundity’s mark; Bloom, blood, and bone are the ties which bind The betrayer, body, and bane to their future descried. One will wrest peace from the grips of such blight, While the other will do naught but turn from the light; In each hand, they hold the death of another And the fate of the kingdoms bound by lovers.
