Strong and powerful, they stood side by side. Peering into the night with piercing glance of light and discernment and ruling the day with wisdom and the majesty of the blessed, the two Towers of Acyl were formed together with a purpose.
In storms they were tall and strong, a single anchor of one accord to which the wayward, confused and lost would seek rest, council, wisdom and to understand the secret which united the two Towers.
But the secret was strong, and only a very small part their own. In fact, the bond was made by another, and only kept up by themselves by a very small set of instruction. After binding them and creating the seal, the maker told them the secret: do not allow anything to attempt to disrupt either the foundation of the Towers nor the bond itself. And by this means the maker was faithful to keep the safety of the Towers.
Through the existence of the two Towers, there rose other towers nearby, created to be given wise instruction and the understanding of value of the maker and the bond he made for them and kept alive. These towers, too, though small and new, were given the bond which sealed the two Towers, and thus their fates and existence as well were bound together and with that of the two.
After a time, an unknown person dug in the earth near one of the two Towers. Cultivating the land and grooming it, giving the Tower pleasure in how it looked. But all was not well. For the unknown person did not stop with the work of excavation; indeed, closer came the person, still digging, past the surface, approaching the forbidden foundation of the great Tower. But the Tower felt safe in its foundation, and had witnessed the deeds of the unknown person, seeing kindness in their actions to this point. But soon the person had laid the foundation of the One Tower bare; causing it to be exposed. The One Tower, though warned by the other alarmed tower, allowed this without concern. Did not this person improve its landscape in their previous endeavors? Surely this would also be harmless.
So the One Tower breached the agreement between the maker, itself, and the other Tower, and allowed the exposure of its foundation. With this came a change. The bond between the Two Towers began to falter, and eventually was broken; but it moved and became a weak connection between the One Tower and the unknown person. But the One tower did not realize its foundation was slowly disappearing, and it was leaning away. All watched in terror as the One Tower began to crumble and fall away, none able to believe it could ever have happened. Those coming for assistance and advice were unsure what to think, and of the maker was wondered how this was allowed to happen. But the Other Tower did not allow the erosion of its foundation, nor the digging in its soil nearby, no matter how attractive the outcome seemed. And the bond was renewed between the small towers, the Other Tower, and the maker.
To this day the Fallen Tower continues to fall, now out of control, but still falling, still not taking action to stop the erosion or repair what it can. But the remaining One Tower can be seen, powerful, piercing in light, and incredible still in the majesty given her by the Creator. Strong despite the terrors of her past, capable more than ever for the instruction of her subject Towers, and the bond stronger every moment with the Creator; but faithfully, every moment, she pleads still with the Creator for the restoration of the bond beteeen Lost Tower and his Creator.
