More than one and always two
Forever more beyond your view
Cometh summer to winters breath
Celebrate life to fear coming death
Blacken lands of soot and fire
Tell of ancient stories prior
Misty future, forgotten past
Eternity that never last
Cold chill to the warm embrace
Bring forth life and divine grace
What is life will one day lie
On that day one will cry
Chant of dancing liars bones
Deep beneath the dirt and stones
Corrupted words lead to sin
Change everything that has always been
Forbidden Secrets in the dark
Desire more two will embark
What is death cannot die
Hope or Doom is always nigh
Must be two like sun and moon
Less than two is to be out of tune
Sing they will of forgotten age
The story of the final page
Kindness of death and cruelty of life
Covered eyes to back with knife
Sadness come to carry on
One will now carry dawn
Always more than one
Now less than two
—Ancient Giants Poem "The Sisters"
Two weeks had passed since Jafar made the discovery of chemicals in people's blood. During the afternoon, In one of the study rooms in the library at Graheel university, was Alan and his two friends Jafar and Sere sitting around a table. Jafar was on the one available computer in this room while Sere was going through stacks of books.
Alan was looking off into space with a dead look in his eyes.
Alan: "I'm so fucked."
Today was the final day of exams. Alan had just finished writing his exam a few hours ago and was in a complete state of dread over it. He felt that he bombed on that last written test he did.
Jafar: "Well, maybe you should have studied more," he said while he was typing away at the computer.
Alan: "It was that damn class on giants. Like, really. When are we ever going to need to know weird ancient giant poems?"
Jafar: "Giants are a very old and powerful race. They still live on this continent too. So, I can see the importance of learning about them a little."
Alan: "But why their poetry? Like that strange poem 'The Sisters', the one doesn't rhyme well."
Jafar: "Actually, as I understand. It supposedly rhymes really well in the original language of the giants."
