“Don't be afraid of being different, be afraid of being the same as everyone else.”

 From the moment of their birth, Kintala and Mulani knew they were different. They could see it in the eyes and faces of those around them. That barely suppressed scorn, barely concealed worry, which always seemed present. Most of the time, their questions for these reactions fell on deaf ears; whereas the rest of the time, they would receive muttered responses just audible enough to snatch bits and pieces from. Kintala was technically the eldest. Mulani had technically been deceased upon birth. Both had always been joined. Neither had belonged. Those were the few truths they had managed to gather in their youth. How Mulani had come back to life, where the girls had hailed from, who their parents had been, could there be others like them- these were the questions with no answers, yet they were the ones most fervently sought after.
Kintala, being firstborn and noting her sister’s greater fragility, made the care of her sister top priority. No matter the cost, no matter the trouble, Mulani would always be placed first and foremost. She was the one to be protected and guarded, the one to be saved from the harsh ridicule thrown at them. Oftentimes, Kintala would find herself making loud noises or forcing anything at hand low onto her sister’s head in a bid to prevent her overhearing the comments. Her attempts were not always successful, unfortunately. In those moments, she would take the mantle of comforter upon her shoulders, soothing her sister’s heart and mind. Her existence was about balance. Her purpose was to walk the fine line between love and hatred, bitterness and cheerfulness, anger and happiness, fragility and strength.
As with her sister, Mulani also found that her life was about balance; however, unlike Kintala, hers was about balance between the living and the dead. For as long as she could recall, she had felt the spirits calling to her, reaching out for her acknowledgement. She could not see them, per say, but she could sense them all around. It appeared to be a game of tug-o-war between their realm and the realm of the living, with her caught squarely in the middle and being pulled from one side to the other. The constant strain was exhausting on an already fragile being. So much so that she had spoken out loud to the spirits sometimes, asking for respite. These instances had not gone over very well when in the midst of others. Those were the moments where Kintala had been her loudest, hoping to quash the hateful words before the younger heard, though generally to no avail; thus, Mulani tended towards the quiet side, hardly ever speaking around others unless necessary. So quiet could she become that it would be as if she were a ghost herself.
Though they may never fit in with the rest of the world, they could never imagine themselves any other way. They are sisters, forever and always. Vastly different yet uniquely the same.

 1. Kintala and Mulani happen upon a kindly stranger who tells them the story of a herd blessed with many different individuals, some the same as the girls.
2. Mulani and Kintala travel to the herd and discover their origin story, learning of their parentage and receiving their names. (Note: The girls would’ve gone by random names until finding the herd. This plot could be extended to an interaction with a mystic giving them names and explaining the reasoning/meaning)
3. Kintala and Mulani seek to find their talents, experimenting with several but uncertain if any fit to them.
4. Mulani feels drawn to the mystic arts, recognizing that it might be time to embrace her unique ability. Kintala, meanwhile, must come to understand her altering role with her sister as the younger gains more confidence and awareness.
5. Kintala and Mulani are struggling with their respective talents/abilities. One is not certain the other truly understands her any longer while the other is not certain what to believe of herself.
6. Mulani and Kintala start having difficulties with their movements after a big fight between themselves. Their body simply refuses to act accordingly, worsening with each passing hour. They seek help from another within the herd, hoping to find clarity and answers.
7. Kintala and Mulani examine their relationship, delving deep into their psyche and emotions. It is the moment they realize that, while they have lived together their whole lives, there was more to either than each thought.
8. Mulani starts an apprenticeship with a mystic in hopes of obtaining a better grasp on her ability while Kintala sets out to study the heavens.
9. Kintala and Mulani learn that, as dark as the outside world can be, there is also light and love to be found.
