It was a beautiful starry night, a night like any other. But as the night progressed the stars were soon covered by drifting clouds. This night was suppose to be an incredibly special night, or at least it was suppose to be...it was as if the night sky knew that this night was going to turn into a night people would remember, or at least for this one family.
He was a man of great power, a man that hated to see his brother Apollo a king. He watched through the castle window as two screams from babies were heard. They were being held by his sister-in-law Artemis she was truly beautiful, and her eyes had a silvery glow to them, they were truly amazing. He glared back at his brother hoping that his eyes could burn Apollo where he stood. This man did not deserve any of this happiness, nor did he deserve Artemis and now these two children. He deserved to suffer as he himself had suffered what he had been put through because of him!
Apollo's golden eyes wandered across the room to the window. At first he thought he saw someone there, but it could have been his imagination. He walked closer to his wife, and kissed her forehead.
"They are so beautiful, just like you."
She gave him a tired smile.
"Oh darling no need to flatter me. But yes they are beautiful!"
Apollo smiled back at her, and brushed his hand against her cheek.
"What shall we name them?"
Artemis thought hard about this. She looked at the twins, their face identical, but hair colours quite different. Her daughter with golden hair and her son black like hers. They opened their eyes up at the same time, the little baby girl smiling up at her. She noticed that they both had two different coloured eyes.
The girl her left eye was gold, and her right was silver. And for the boy his left eye was silver and his right eye gold. She looks at them, surprised at first.
"What's wrong?" Apollo asked a little startled.
She looked up at him, surprised at first and she couldn’t help but smile again.
"They have our eyes."
