Boreas And Notus Compare And Contrast

There once were two young brothers. The two brothers both had the same amount of power. They were Boreas and Notus. The two brothers had grown up with each other. They had had an ordinary life besides their father being a god. When their father died, he knew he would have to separate his powers in half and put them in his boys. Who was their father? Their father was Aeolus, the god of all winds. Aeolus was very ill and not getting better. He and no one else knew how much time he had. All of the gods were worried and wondered what he would do with his powers when he died. The gods hoped he wouldn’t put them in his boys. When he died their worst nightmare came true. Aeolus had split his powers into the boys. Aeolus had one request. For the boys to not fight, for they were equal.The two brothers were immature and did not listen to their father. For they wanted to be they only god of the wind. The two were furious with one another. The two hadn’t realized their rage until their father had died. One day Boreas walked into Notuss’
room.
“Notus, I have thought about this long and hard. I believe there should only be one god of the wind” ,exclaimed Boreas,” I think we both know who it should be!”
“Oh Boreas. I’m so happy you said that”, said Notus happily, “I’m surprised you agreed so quickly that it should be me.”
“You? Why would it be you? I meant that it should be me” The two brothers got into a huge arguement. For days the brothers would yell and scream at each other. They would say that they were better than the other. Boreas finally came up with an idea. “Why don’t we just set boundaries. It’s a much better idea that me having to see your face every day.” screamed Boreas. “That sounds perfect”, yelled Notus. The two brothers had set boundaries over the entire city. Boreas was to be the Northern god of the wind.. Notus was to be the Southern god of the wind. The two liked it this way, but still they wanted more power.
The brothers didn’t know this but the gods didn’t like what they were seeing. The gods found the two brothers childish. Didn’t they know that one was never going to be as powerful as one another. As they gods watched from the heavens they were disappointed. When they two brothers were fighting that was the last straw for the ruler of the gods, Zeus. Within seconds the two brothers were standing right next to each other, but they didn’t know how. “What are you two doing stop your foolishness.
You should be working as a team. You are one god split into two.” Screamed Zeus. Then he vanished Then in seconds everything was back to normal.

Boreas and Notus did not listen and continued the war, but soon realized that they had the same amount of power. They tried everything they could to out do one another but it did not work. Their powers were so strong together that it made a cylinder type force that destroyed everything in its path. The city of Rome was ruined by this monstrous thing. The brothers watched in terror of what they had done to their own home.
They tried everything to make it stop, but they couldn’t. When Zeus saw this he came back down to Rome to punish them.. For they should have listened to him.“We are sorry and we will never disobey you again.” The brothers whinnied
“ You should have listened foolish boys. You both did me and your father wrong and for that you’ll
pay.”
Zeus made sure that their punishment would last forever. The boys had not listened to him so he would make sure that their lesson would be permanent . Their punishment was that they would both become the force of wind, a tornado, and always relive the mistake over and over again. Zeus would then be the one to rule the wind and have no one stand in his way.Whenever a tornado hits a town, think of Zeus’s punishment to Boreas and Notus. Their mistake have ruined many towns in the past and there will be many more in the future. The wind brothers will always regret what they did to one another. Zeus has made their mistake abolish lives so the brothers can feel the pain and agony they have caused to people all over the world. The two never forgave themselves.
They should have listened to their father’s last breath and not destroy each other for power. If they could have not done wrong then today they would be ruling the sky and the wind together, as family. They proved the gods to be right and gave Zeus more power than ever.
