Castor and Pollux

A Mystic Card · the constellation over you now

Castor and Pollux

the twins

Pollux was offered the whole of heaven and said no. Not without Castor. They had shared a mother, a boyhood, a thousand horses, a war or two, and one of them was mortal and one was not, which had never mattered until it suddenly did. Castor died the way mortals do. Pollux stood in front of Zeus with his immortality in his hands like a coat he wanted to give away. Half, he said. Give him half of mine. And Zeus, for once, did the kind thing.

You've been living like the untouchable one, check on your mortal half.
