(In the Corruption biome...) Castor: (his red-skinned body slamming against a tree) "AGH!" Pollux: (her blue-skinned body slamming against the tree) "UGH!" Castor: (slowly opening his blue eyes and flapping his bat-like dark gray wings) "I hate my life right now..." Pollux: (slowly opening her red eyes and flapping her bat-like dark gray wings) "Me too..." Asphodene: "There! The Dioskouroi won't be causing trouble anytime soon!" Castor: "I swear, when I get out I'll incinerate you!" Eridani: "I know you wouldn't have the guts to torch a child like mine." Castor: "Well, just because you're twins doesn't mean I'll incinerate one of you girls! Pollux, little help here?!" Pollux: (starts to feel a sharp, stabbing-like pain in her lower abdomen) "Uh...I could say the same here." (Strange footsteps can be heard in the distance) Castor: "...that sounds like its ALL around me." (A giant bacteriophage that looks like the Corruption and the Crimson stomps its way towards them) Castor: "What is THAT?!" Asphodene: "That thing is massive!" Eridani: "An Esophage?!" Pollux: (in even more pain than before) "Nope. Not dealing with that thing." (The Esophage looks at them before roaring menacingly.) Pollux: "Castor! We've got to get out of here!" Castor: "But-" (Suddenly, there's a loud "POP" sound and a puddle of water has formed between Pollux's legs)

Pollux: (panicking) "Oh no, my water broke! The babies are coming!" Castor: (also panicking) "What do we do?!" Asphodene: "We can't just leave them here, that thing will kill them!" Eridani: "I have an idea. Castor, take Pollux and fly her out of here. Asphodene and I will hold off the Esophage." Castor: "Are you crazy?! That thing will tear you both apart!" Eridani: "Better us than letting those babies be born here in the Corruption biome. Now go!" (Castor reluctantly picks up Pollux and takes off into the air, flapping his wings as fast as he can. Asphodene and Eridani stand their ground as the Esophage charges towards them.) Asphodene: "I'll take the left, you take the right!" (Eridani nods and takes off into the air, hovering just out of reach of the Esophage's massive jaws. Asphodene uses her lightning magic to strike at the Esophage's eyes, distracting it as Eridani swoops in and slices at its exposed throat.) (Eridani and Asphodene continue to fight the Esophage, their combined efforts slowly wearing it down. Meanwhile, Castor struggles to carry Pollux through the air as she screams in pain.) Castor: "Hang on, Pollux! We're almost there!" Pollux: (gritting her teeth) "I can't...I can't go any further..." Castor: "You have to! Just a little bit more!" (They finally reach the edge of the Corruption biome, just as Asphodene and Eridani manage to defeat the Esophage.) Asphodene: (panting) "That was...close." Eridani: "Now let's get out of here before any more monsters show up." (Castor and Pollux land on the ground, where Castor immediately starts trying to help Pollux.) Castor: "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Pollux: (giving him a weak smile) "I just need you to help me deliver our babies." Castor: (nodding) "Okay. We'll do this together." (And so Castor and Pollux welcome their twin daughters into the world, just as Asphodene and Eridani lead them to safety. It may have been a harrowing experience, but in the end, their love for each other and their new family pulled them through.)
