They were male / female twin siblings born at different times, two pairs representing five different skin colors (yellow, black, brown, white, and a "mix"). Each female changed their original name, Zoe, to Candice in order to disguise their true identity. Each Levi and Zoe pair were given an opportunity to change the course of human history, but all chose not to do so, and ultimately, what was needed happened due to natural intervention, carried out by the wind.The ten pairs of twins were incestuous, illiterate, poisonous and evil - like many others on their planet, or worse. However, based on a deliberate or known lie that their skin color(s) represented true equality (or those that matched the Sibylline Oracles) their story was going to be told as five pairs of twins who were "just and good," and in 2016, plans were made to write their story irregardless of the truth.The Levi and Zoe Twin Siblings in Chronological Order[1] "Water Treasure" - Pygmy - 500 BC [2] "Dragonfly Clock" - Chinese - 500 BC[3] "Yellow Serpent" - Guatemalan - 0 AD[4] "Invisibility Cloak" - African - 1400 AD[5] "Eight Petaled Lotus" - Persian - 1600 AD
