The Eternal Warrior #1 reveals how different two siblings can be.
Here's a key panel from the early years of Gilad and Aram. (In case you have trouble reading it, I've split it into two halves below).
The eldest son, Gilad, is the ultimate fighter for his tribe. His younger brother Aram, who as a child dreamed of being a great warrior, finds his heart leads him down a different path as he grows older.
Aram may be beloved by his family, but he is a disappointment to his
tribe. He chooses to cherish life, love,
and laughter. To his father, Aram is no more useful than a woman past her childbearing years.
It's a curious contrast of values. Blessed (or cursed) with long life, the two men will see civilizations rise and fall. Gilad will go on to fight--to embrace new causes--time and again. His brother Aram, who dislikes fighting, will in time adopt the name Armstrong, and end up living on the streets of Los Angeles, California.
Each man can only be himself, and follow the calling of his heart. Still, I wonder which of the two brothers is the happiest?
