Plot 70: Intertwined Souls 

In a world in which people are born with soul-mates, distinguished by identical marks on their forearms, Muse A was born with no such mark and therefore destined to be alone. Ashamed of bringing an outcast into the world, Muse A’s parents abandoned them when they were just a few weeks old. A compassionate couple brought Muse A into their home and nurtured the unfortunate child as if Muse A was their own flesh and blood (though there was no official adoption). Muse B was the only child born to the couple before they took Muse A in. Muse A and Muse B were instantly inseparable, even as infants one would cry if the other wasn’t beside them. As a child, Muse B happily shared all they possessed with Muse A and was always there to comfort Muse A whenever they were sad about not having a destined love. They lived like siblings, but even more like best friends, in the same home until Muse A turned 18. Though Muse A grew to love their foster family, they felt that it was time to move on and see the world, even if there was no one waiting out there for them. Though Muse B has met their soul-mate by this time, they are adamant about taking this journey with Muse A, who they haven’t been without for so much as one day of their young life. They set off to explore the world with Muse B’s parents’ blessing with the condition that Muse B will return home in 3 weeks time to marry their rightful soul-mate, whether or not Muse A returns home with them.

Option A: Muse A and Muse B fall for each other on their travels and Muse B decides break to the agreement made with their parents/abandon their soulmate, in order to stay by Muse A’s side. Muse C, Muse B’s soulmate goes after them to bring Muse B back home.  

Option B: Muse A finds someone on their journey who also doesn’t have a soul-mate mark, Muse C. Muse B returns home to be with their soulmate, Muse D. The connection (friendship and/or romance) between Muse A and Muse B endures regardless of the distance and other people between them.
