Oswold and Rune Bloodsmoore

Every coin carries two sides as does each person's story. The Bloodsmoore twins exemplify this more than any yet living. One trained yet always missing the final element, control. The other, a natural talent, untrained yet possessing all the control eluding the other.

Oswold Bloodsmoore, Os for expediency sake, fights his true heritage. His young eyes see much. He knows the truth yet struggles choosing presently the surname Scarbridge. His stubborn nature proves a constant irritant. His formal training surpasses many older magic practitioners yet he lacks control. Curious, gifted, and arrogant, Os must make a critical decision. What path he chooses may bode good or ill. His ultimate fate remains as simple and a complex as tossing a coin.

Rune Bloodsmoore challenges her brother. She calculates each step seeking her greatest advantage. She lacks Os' confidence yet remains every bit a danger. Her natural abilities and control stand almost unparalleled. She pushes herself constantly often more than she should. She embraces her heritage unquestioningly, wanting, and even needing her family's approval. Her strongest attribute, her determination, makes her formidable. And so, Rune's story spins the coin a different direction.

So the Bloodsmoore heirs stories unfold. Will they work together and stand against all opposition. If not what are the consequences? After all every choice carries a price and that price can be steep indeed. What will happen? Flip a coin.
