The Twins

"The Twins" is a nickname given to a pair of unique gadget-like weapons built by Zulera in the year 4635. They were built with the intent of starting a business deal, and after being traded to the Titan Nacreloo, they have remained in her possession for most of the remainder of the series.

Appearance and Functionality
The Twins appear to be bulky, cylindrical katar-like blades with a handle that is lined with a few switches and triggers. These triggers control the functions of the weapons. the blades can open up like a mechanical claw, or can invert themselves to work as a grappling hook. the largest trigger launches these hooks out of the weapons, connected to a chain, which is in turn connected to a switch that can reel it in. Apart from these three functions, most of their cylindrical shape comes from a ring of bolts that are loaded into it and fired out like a crossbow. They can be reloaded using Metalforming, something that both Zulera and Nacreloo knew very well.

With grey-colored steel blades and a blue and indigo paintjob, these tools are truly the work of a master craftswoman. Careful details on the inner mechanism cause the array of stored bolts to not interfere with the spring-based chain mechanisms. The metal and even the paint were of the highest quality, as Zulera had ensured that her tools would not fall apart with time. Other than a tiny number 301 engraved on the handles of both weapons, there is no seal or marking as to the creator, and so after Zulera's death, the identity of who had built these weapons fell into obscurity, since Nacreloo did not speak much of it either.

Role in the Series
The Twins were the items traded to the Titan Nacreloo by Zulera in order to obtain an island away from civilization. It was on this island, that for the next severeal years, Zulera began laying the groundwork for a village that would later become Zulera City. The twins themselves were a result of numerous prototypes that Zulera had worked on, the two weapons in question being the only ones that worked. After her death, any chance of the work being replicated died with her, up until the creation of Eka-Zulera during the events of The Voice of the Serén. However, any work that Eka-Zulera might have done on them was not visibly seen a great deal. the originals remained in the hands of Nacreloo throughout this book as well.
