         She sits atop the tower, so old, so familiar. She looks down, at her paws, watches them, watches her ears, watches her tail. She looks at the collar she does not wear, the pins. The piercings return, as she sees them, and thinks of them. Did she always have this mane? No, no she did not. And this golden light was not always stardust.

         He sits atop the tower, so old, so familiar, He looks on, at himself, watches his reflection, watches the drastic shift in the mirror as time goes on. Always so difficult, always something to be conquered; and She was the only one who could. Patterns, antlers, wings, broken bones and bloody spatters, delicate poses and dynamic perspectives. The only way he could ever be envisioned.

         They sit atop the tower, so old, so familiar. They look at each other, watch their sibling and counterpart, watch their other half that they cannot exist without. The good and the evil, the sun and the rain, but there is good in the evil, for he is what makes her so sweet. Insecurity, numbness, pressure, expectation, debility, reality, stare down confidence, feeling, freedom, pride, genius, fantasy, and past the ferocity, past the contrast, there is love, understanding, and so much of it.

         If she is the force which drives the pen, then he is that which dries the ink in its well. If she is inspiration, creativity, he is broken thought, destruction. If She is Muse, then He can only be Mokuhen, a word, name, and title all at once, created solely to oppose the term she had simply claimed.

         He had been forgotten. Cast away. Exiled. She thought She was doing what was best. But She was wrong. Without Him, She had grown so weak, without even Her notice. But now- now He had returned! And with Him came Her strength, Her fire, the force to drive Her further, the challenge.

         That was the good in the evil. The challenge. The challenge is what stands in your way, what impedes your progress, what defies you. You can either kneel to the challenge, or you can accept it; to accept it in itself is to overcome it sometimes. The challenge, while it may slow you, is not there to stop you, it is there to push you farther once you have passed it.

         From beneath Her, in His blood, He smiles, and She smiles back.
