Meltwater. noun. Water formed by the melting of snow and ice, especially from a glacier.

Two hearts, one beat. Two souls, one destiny. Two lives, one story.

It started out as Ice - biting cold, chilling melodies, frozen heartbeats. It was the winter of their souls, where days seem so emtpy and victory seems so hollow. Everything is but the faint echo of the warmth of the spring. But eyes met, and the flames sparked. Spring finally came, bringing with it the song of forever. All they had to do was to accept it. And they did.

Now, witness the Flame, slowly thawing the once frozen souls. Two hearts beat as one, in the melody of kindled passion. It is unbreakable. It is unbeatable. It goes on until forever.

And there is a symbol of this passion. Meltwater.

Once, we were silent - forever lurking in the shadows of the world. Our voices were muted, our strengths, suppressed... our passion, stifled. But enough is enough.

But an alliance was formed - born to defend what we believe is true and pure. For there is such a love, once ignored. A passion, once stifled. Two hearts, once frozen. But they met, they accepted, and they understood. The ice melted. And the love was born.
