Two halves of a whole. Two peas in a pod. That's what they called us. But that seems so long ago now.

He's gone away, but I still hold out hope that he will return one day. Someone, anyone, will bring him back to me.

We used to be inseperable, it's true. Everyone wanted to be around us. Everyone wanted to be our friend. We were... beloved.

But then we broke up, and suddenly no one liked us. It's like all that love and affection was thrown out the window, just because I wasn't with him, and he wasn't with me.

It's been years since I last saw him. I still remember how he looked. Tall, slender, with golden bronze skin and no hair on his head.

He was always so sturdy, so accepting of hardship. So am I, though. I guess that's why we got along so well.

I would go looking myself, but I can't. I have to wait here, until he returns. It is my destiny.

It is dangerous, though. If he doesn't come back soon, I will surely be beaten and abused. But I must endure. I can't let him down. I must wait.

I am the lone guardian of the world. If I fail, there will be no hope for humanity. The darkness will close in, unleashing every hellish monster man has ever conceived of.

I will stay, sworn to my duty as protector. I will endure the pain, the torture, the beatings...

Until the day he returns. The half to my whole. The pea to fill the pod. One key, for one lock, that holds the fate of the world.
