Two hundred and ten years ago, Publius, born in Helios, met Garand from the Current Circumstances.
Perhaps this was the intersection of their destinies.
Unfortunately, there were no stirrings of the wind and clouds, nor did they know at first glance that the other was their mortal enemy. It was just a simple meeting.
The Alchemist from the Current Circumstances arrived in Helios, and the Alchemists of Helios warmly entertained them, seeing off the previous group of visitors.
This began their long seventy years of companionship from then on.
For Publius, the Alchemist Garand from the Current Circumstances was inevitably too dull, unsmiling, and uninteresting.
For Garand, Publius was the real alien species in the sacred ground of Alchemy, overly restless, endlessly chattering, and annoyingly troublesome.
One could say they both found each other disagreeable.
