Finn was a complexly simple young man & for as long as he could remember he had been in love with Frances, the twin sister of his best friend Francis, but right now all Finn was thinking about was how a group of dimensional marauders were currently invading his ( up until this moment ) relatively peaceful home. Trying hard to stay calm, Finn silently repeated the serenity statements Frances & him had come up with when they were young to help them deal with their anxiety attacks. Finn stared in horror as a gigantic dark triangular shaped craft slowly descended from space pointed directly at the peak of the beloved mountain that overlooked their modest municipality. Finn began worrying about his family & friends, but then his mind slipped back to the familiar Frances, he was petrified that he might never see her again & thus he might not be able to share the feelings that he had been keeping secret for so long. Suddenly, some civilian off in the distance called out & it shook him from his stupor. Finn sprang into action & began sprinting back towards home.

Frances lived an unexpected life. She was born just minutes after her brother Francis to the surprise of her parents who up till that moment believed they were only having a single child. The doctors told her parents that she was unlikely to live due to malnutrition in the womb, but she was a fighter from the very beginning & pulled through. Frances grew. She grew more than anyone else. Frances stood at least half a meter taller than everyone else in her classes. She was notably clever & quick in just about every aspect of life. All the boys were obviously in love with her, but were all far too intimidated by her stature to ever approach her. This would be disheartening to most, but Frances did not care one bit, she had loved one person her whole life, her brothers best friend Finn. She had always hoped/believed that he felt the same way about her, but her guilt towards taking another thing from her brother was more than she could bear.

A prophecy had been made when her mother became pregnant that their child would wield the spectral sword that had been passed down through their family since they established the kingdom several generations ago. Everyone always assumed it would be Francis because in their history, the males were always the one that psychically fought the battles, but Francis was average at best & Frances was spectacular at seemingly everything. When the elders voted on the swords bestowment, the vote was unanimously in favor of Frances.

Frances stood on the front lines still feeling like a child but ready to do her duty. She held the spectral sword as tightly as she could muster, despite the fact that she was quaking like a leaf. She stared on in horror as the invaders vessel pierced the peak of their beloved mountain & began to crumble. The ship drilled itself deep into the mountain & lodged itself firmly in the devastated crag. Combatants began spilling out of the craft & instantly began besieging the burg. A bulky pale skinned alien attacker bared down on Francis and swung an oversized axe in her direction, she instinctively parried & stuck the sword in his exposed ribcage. The brut turned to a blinding blue color and then shattered into tiny pieces.

Francis had lived in his sisters shadow his entire life ( both literally & metaphorically ). He tried to not hold a grudge, but seeing her receive every blessing he perceived to be his birthright really developed into quite a thorn in his side, so when he saw an alien sneak up behind her in the battle, he considered for a moment just letting the events unfold unaltered, but he quickly came to his senses & lept onto the stealthy aliens back & swiftly slit its throat. Frances turned to see her brother drop her would be assassin to the ground, he looked up & gave her an honest smile. Frances saw a look of bewilderment then horror on his sisters face as a spear tip exploded through his chest. She leapt forward in retaliation & inserted her blade into the face of her brother’s killer. The murderer drifted off to the spectral winds as the twins crumpled to the ground together. As Francis laid dying he could see Finn careening down a hillside, rushing to join the fray. He turned to his sister & told her that he knew how they felt about each other & that he hoped they could be together. He told his sister he was sorry for being so distant and thankful for how kind she was despite him not reciprocating the gesture.He knew this was the end of his life, but he also felt it was the start of something much larger.
