There was a place where time had still not been born, and those that did exist went about each other in peace with their harmonious ways of living, everyone was doing their part to build a better world. In that place a mother had brought life to two infants, Destinatus and Hirudinea. These two brothers brought light into the world of Armiger, their father, for two males would surely come along with the process of evolving what they have built so far. As they grew into men and they wiser the brothers became each of them started to develop their own thinking process. Though they were twins and were very similar in appearance, the pair started to think as opposites. Destinatus only wanted the best for their town and everyday the city folk grew fonder of him. His brother, on the other hand, started to grow lazy and felt no need to participate in anything that was going on around him. Hirudinea did have intelligence, but he does not use a drop of it and it goes to waste. Even though Destinatus was doing all of his deeds on good will, the simple fact that Hirudinea did not feel the need to be active within the community and decided to mooch off of the other's hard earned work made him furious.
Everyday after harvesting with the family each member would bring their piece home; veal, fresh greens and succulent fruits. The meal would be prepared by the talented in culinary arts and the others would discuss and laugh about the residence. Once all has been prepared to its absolute perfection all were called down to finally consume their hard days work. Then Hirudinea would crawl out of his hole and sit near the edge and also have some of the feast. All noticed, but no one did say anything.
After there was not even a single piece left, Hirudinea would sneak back into where he always was, leaving the other's to also clean his mess. When the cleaning was done the family decided to have a chat with each other about their little problem. Some argued that he should be left out, to fend for himself. Inculpatus, a close cousin, shouted to leave him be for he has done nothing to harm others. A side of the family erupted in agreement. It was own twin though was the one to come up with exactly what they were going to do to fix him and rid of the problem he was causing.
Inculpatus was to offer Hirudinea to join him on the way to the river for a day of fishing. As predicted Hirundinea declined. Inculpatus proceeded to tell him that if he was not to go that the Gods would not punish him but the river by poisoning it, affecting the whole town's supply of that source of food. Hirundinea laughed in his face and proceeded to roll over on his cot for a mid-morning nap. Inculpatus goes on to do his daily business catching the wealth of the river. When the sun decided to come back down for the day he returns to prepare that nights feast. Destinatus decided to cook that evening and the meal was rather pleasant. What he told everyone that was present while the preparation, though, is that some of the fish had gone bad so he did not recommend that they take any. In reality he had taken three of the five fish and poisoned it. The two that were not poisoned were the smaller, less mature fish. When Hirundinea came out he only expected the best and took the juiciest veal and the biggest fish. As he went on that night complaining about how they do not try hard enough to feed him, and that he was the jewel to the family, the fish on the table slowly started to disappear into his mouth and down inside of him. Then, we he had enough he left his mess and went off.
As night settled Hirundinea's stomach started to twist and turn. Slowly the pain increased until it became unbearable and he cried out to the others. No one heard him. He fell to the floor withering, yelping for someone to aid him. Feeling obligated to come help Inculpatus arrived with a hot towel and placed it on his forehead. Hirundinea spat at him, telling him that he wasn't doing a good enough job and that this was atrocious. Destinatus had enough with the foul treatment came in and told Hirundinea where he stood in this house hold and that no longer would they support someone that never supported them.
