Entropeta and Negentropy were fraternal twins. Negentropy was born first under the summer sun. Quiet and content she was given over to the attendant in anticipation of her twin’s arrival. His birth, however, was not quick. The mother’s labor lasted hours, progressing into the night. The attendants, growing increasingly concerned for her and the unborn child, watched as a shadow began to move across the moon. It crept like a dark omen as the color of the moon turned to blood. Those tending to her glanced nervously at each other, certain that this meant death. At the height of the blood moon the child finally entered the world, the boy howled like a demon.
