Cal’s mum never told him anything. What had Lydia been told? He assumes she only knows as much as he. Though she is not his sister, they grew up together, joined at the hip by the legend their parents participated in. He knew nothing, and he prayed she didn’t either.
Cal and Lydia sit patiently, listening to the two happeners tell their long, intricate story about what happened fifteen years previously. Neither of them were alive. "Tell me," Cal whispers to he quietly, "Did your mum and dad tell you of this before hand?"
She turns her bright, child's face up at him. "Never."
Cal smiles. One day he'll understand the story completely and fully. Of their trial, games, and the experience some say is only legend. One day he'll tell his own story. One day Cal will tell Lydia he loves her.
