For decades, centuries, millennia, the two stood side-by-side, hand-in-hand. Together. They ruled over the world. The watched over it. They cared for it.
Nothing could separate them. Nothing could stand in their way. Nothing could build a wall between them.
Except themselves.
For the sea, loved dearly by her protector…
and the volcano, loved dearly by hers…
were the only two ingredients needed to make land.
And it was this very creation, this product of their bond with one another, that forced them apart…
Forever.
