The journey of the twins

Deep in the jungle, a mother sits alone, cradling her swollen belly, her lullaby drowned by silent tears. The father of her unborn twins has abandoned them, believing the whispers of betrayal, and with his departure, the sky turned gray—forever frozen in a world without true day or night.

But within her, the twins stir. One hums, soothing her pain. The other whispers, guiding her forward. They lead her through the jungle, through hunger and exhaustion, until a single moment—a sting, a slap, a broken spell—changes everything.

Years later, Guaracy and Jacy hunt to feed their new family, unaware of the truth buried beneath their past. But when a talking parrot unveils the secret of their origins, the twins must face a terrible revelation. Rage burns, arrows fly, and the past is torn open. Will their find their way home, back to each other? Can they restore the balance their parents broke?

Their journey is just beginning.
