Embrace Chaos

From the beginning, there were two opposite sides of a single coin; Order and Chaos.  For millennia, they fought.  Order crafted complex machinery and yet was never able to gain the upperhand, due to Chaos’s scrappy and unpredictable nature.  With each failure, Order’s disdain for Chaos grew.  It seemed as though their destiny was to continue this war for eternity.  

But one day, Order surprisingly proposed a truce.  Chaos, though initially suspicious, noticed a change within Order and accepted.  In time, they grew to become an unlikely pair.  In unity, there was an equal balance.  

But on the day in which these two supreme forces were to be formally rejoined in matrimony, something unexpected happened.  Following a sly signal after the ceremony, magical chains were wrapped around the new bride with the help of the humans.  But, this time Chaos didn't fight back.  Instead, Chaos seemed pleased; smiling even as the humans proceeded to toss her into the darkest recesses of a forgotten dungeon.  

But, why exactly did she smile?  

It was simple.  To her, this was Order’s ultimate acceptance of the truth whether conscious or otherwise.  Neither could exist without the other.  In order to usurp her and grasp full control, he had been forced to play a lengthy deception.  The change that she had felt had been a piece of her that Order had embedded within himself.  A piece of Chaos within Order.  It was almost poetic.  A love letter meticulously written in her own poison.  Unfazed at the possibility of eternal confinement, Chaos simply channeled her remaining strength into a low whisper.  All it would take was the smallest of cracks and then those that desired her power would seek her out.  She would start small and mold them in her image before sending them back out.  Eventually her influence would grow, slowly creeping back out into the world and forcing Order to face her once again.  It was an inevitability written in the stars.  Chaos could not be controlled.
