And then, the place to which the Sisters descend is the scenic mountains of Arcadia, which later became known as Paradeisos.

Two twins, playing in the Autumn twilight. Two twins who have yet to discover the world's malice. They ran through the fields, through the woods, through the streams. The girl, Artemisia, was a tomboy, and the boy, Elefseus, was a crybaby.

'Let's always be together!' The promise the siblings made rang through the mountains.

And, as the Chronos is woven, the Cogwheel gently starts to revolve once more.

The scenery placed around them by the gods seemed just for their sakes. 

In the fleeting days of boyhood that will never return, Elef believed that the bird in the sky could fly anywhere.

In the fleeting days of girlhood that she will eventually reflect upon, Misia believed that one day, she could grasp the moon reflected in the water.

From the time they were born, they were together. At all time, they were together, constantly, they were together.

With a gentle father and a beautiful mother, they believed those days with them would go on forever.

The one to struggle against the goddess of Destiny, and the one to accept her. Yes, the one to murder destiny, and the one to be sacrificed to destiny.

They ran about the hills, chasing after the clouds. With the scent of nightfall in the air, the two raced home. The two twins ran right into the Scorpion's shadow...

"I've been looking for you, Polydeuces," a man clad in armor, surrounded by warriors said to their father.

'Your Highness Scorpius?!' their father said, kneeling before the man.

'To think that the hero of the Twin Fortresses of Arcadia would be living on such a mountain... Why have you abandoned your sword?'
'Even if I tried to explain, I don't think that one as ambitious as yourself could come to understand.

As the two children ran towards their parents, calling their names, the Scorpion turned his gaze on them. 'Ah... Capture them,' he commanded.

'Elfina! Take the children and run,' cried their father. As the warriors seized the man's wife and children, Scorpius turned to him. 'I have taken control of Laconia's troops. Polydeuces, come and join my forces.'

'And if I... Refuse?'

'Then I'll have you join the King of Hades!'

The setting sun was as red as the blood on the ground. Once it starts, nobody can stop the turning Cogwheel.
