For this assignment I had to create some sort of God or Deity. (So far one of my favorite assignments)
--
We know life is full of many contradictions, perhaps to full. Good and evil, hot and cold, right and wrong…the list goes on and we come across these opposites daily. But, ever wonder how those opposites came to be? Was it a coincidence? I think not. The Gemini of the New Millennium, my deity (or deities as I should say,) rule over the opposites and contradictions of the world.
Aki and Aya didn’t start off as God and Goddess of opposites. It just sort of happened. Born from a human mother and God father Aki and Aya were not only opposite genders…but opposite everything else. Throughout childhood the two would argue about everything. From rain to sun to sleep or play, pretty soon these petty arguments got to their mother. She called down to her God husband and begged for him to help her. Their father came up with a plan to make Aki and Aya into deities and allow them rule over people’s preferences and the contradictions of the world. He granted each preference to each child (Aki receiving hot, Aya cold. Aya getting light, Aki dark-and so on). Call them your conscience, or call them irrelevant. Either way you have probably come across the work of Aki and Aya before.
Once these twins begin a battle with each other, the battle wont end until one of the twins successfully gets a human to choose his or her side. We, my friend, are the tools. But they mean us no harm. So, if you ever come across a switching feeling-a little whisper in your ear-it’s probably the work of these two mischievous little deities. Aki and Aya as different as black and white, yet as necessary as the air we breathe. ‘Why are they necessary’? Is what you may ask. Like I said in the beginning, life is full of contradictions-but isn’t that what makes life so great. So thank your Aki and Aya, because they sure appreciate you being their argument solver.

I got the idea for Aki & Aya from an anime called Ayashi No Ceres (Ceres: Celestial Angel). In the show the main characters are brother and sister Aki & Aya. They have one very memerable argument in which Aki walks into Aya's room while she is weight lifting and scares her. Being scared, she throws her weights at him, nearly breaking his nose. An argument ensued...and it gave me the idea for these two deities.
