With this post we see the remainder of the Leif story as well as the primary gift(s). By the time the twins were in their teens, Runi and Eir could no longer deny that soon they would have to use the potion on their children. Their only concern was would they live long enough to see the potion work it's affect of mellowing their anger towards each other. The day the twins reached their majority they got into a terrible row and declared each other their mortal enemy. Eir quietly stirred the potion into two goblets, she handed one to Tofi, while Runi handed the other one to Hjordis. They then placed each sleeping twin into a separate simple room. That night Runi and Eir passed on in their sleep, a combination of grief and old age, which only left Handy who was quite elderly by human standards left to care for the place. Eventually desperate for companionship Handy married, and had a son whom he named Handy. When his son came of age he was introduced to the farm to take over, and the first Handy left to live out his final days with his now elderly wife. Handy the second eventually took a wife and had just the one son whom he named Handy, as his father had done with him he eventually introduced his son to the farm to take over the duties. This pattern was followed for several generations, each generation updating the house just a little, then Handy the 17th made big changes to the farm house before passing on the job to his son. Handy the 20th never found that one person to fall in love with, despite all the modern ways of meeting people. One night he passed away in his sleep, and with no one to care for the farm things began to fall into a state of neglect. One mid summer's morning a shaft of light pierced to the rooms where the twins slumbered deeply, and woke them from their deep slumber. They no longer hated each other on site, but they weren't friends either. They were shocked by the changes to their once familiar home, and both cried uncontrollably at the site of their parents headstones. They shed tears for Handy as well, unaware that it was the many times great grandson of the Handy they had grown up with. The biggest shock was the realization that they didn't fully understand how to use their own fairy magic. Hjordis made it clear that she wanted to get out into the valley and explore. To learn about all the items in their home, and eventually explore the world in search of other fae. Tofi on the other hand was more interested in the land their home was on, he could feel the earth's energy calling to him. He thought restoring the gardens was a better use of time. Only time would tell if the twins could finally learn to live in harmony with each other and with the new modern world they'd awoken into. The finished house. The opening picture, as the picture above in the story, with the brambles everywhere is what is in the upload. For the purposes of the slide show I took before bramble pictures of the finished house. This version of the house blends the older Scandanavian build style with the more modern style of lot's of windows to allow in as much light and nature as possible. The gravestones were moved to Hjordis's backback before uploading. This was to keep them from turning invisible, and to try to keep the family ingame link together. Oh yeah links, those might be healpful, lol. Lief Twins and home Kaleva Farm 3 ways
