The Gemini And The Apprentice

It was a long run. The battlefield was so intense with socio-political warfare. The economy was once in a great crisis... a risk was at stake. No one dared to fight the dictatorial monarch except the Gemini and the poor apprentice.
Silence was the hostile mist that governs the heart of the chief. While the king almost dismissed his queen. But the queen and the chief has a secret affair... No! it isn't a love affair... rather, a political affair that plans to destroy the dictatorial monarch govern by a diabolic king.
The chief and the queen continued to pursue the plan, but their heart was so weak, that even their souls became prisoners of their own fear.
Soon there was the apprentice, willing to help the chief and the queen. But fear was so far gone rooted beneath their souls that made them, even, turn their backs to the poor apprentice.
The apprentice was so damn down, until the Gemini appeared to him and gave him a hand.
The Gemini was both fair. One was taller to the other, like a big sister to the little one - who, on the other hand, was far braver than her taller partner.
The small girl once, had a doubt because her senses were different from the typical inhabitants of the kingdom. She has a spirit of a warrior, but a face of an angel. She has a beautiful soul, but a heart of a goth. She is full of ironies. She never thought that the sword that she holds, and the sword that her partner holds will come accross an intersection. And with that axis came forth another sword, which was the apprentice's.
The intersection where the three swords met became their hidding place for their meetings. Blood, sweat, and tears were mixed in that little room bounded with courage, wisdom,and honesty.
Soon, the three of them were inside the arena of the kingdom fighting the wicked king. The chief and the queen were just watching from a distant place not knowing what to do because their hearts are still filled with fear.
Then suddenly, a shout of victory was heard... could it be that the king, once again prevailed?!...
Everyone was in deep anguish for the Gemini and the apprentice who were there fighting the matchless warrior... the king.
The gates were opened...
And there they saw two girls holding each other's hand and their sword on their other hands... and a man bleeding but still standing tall... its the Gemini and the apprentice!
They won! They finally ended the king's life!
The chief and the queen gave a feast for their new heroes.
Soon, the long lost old organization, once again, appeared in the face of the kingdom. They were long hidden because the king once, despised them to death. This old organization called "The Preor", were the silent activist of the old monarch, writing different protests in the form of poetries and songs. It is within, lies a treason for the king.
The Preor, in memory of the history made by the Gemini and the apprentice, wrote a book about the nobility, courage, and honesty of these three heroes. It was published and still in the circulation until nowadays.

P.S. ...the tide was high, the wind was strong, the wave was horrendous. But we steadfastly held tight to our anchor knowing that our cargo was so precious. And as we reach the distant shore, we have just proven that, truly, we are the captain of our own ships.

P.P.S. This is a true story... infact, this is our story.
