The troll or the twins didn’t realise that an extremely wealthy, but devious and dastardly Duke was close-by and about to fire his specially built weapon at the troll in order to capture it for his plan of immortality. Just then, a troll, after breaking through the earth’s mantle and swimming to the surface with a herculean effort, appeared between the twins. One evening, not far from their home, Beckett was being his usual craziness, attempting to talk to a seal, and Myles is trying to convince his brother that they needed to return home for maximum sleep hours for brain enhancement. As Beckett likes to say, Myles is the thinker, Beckett is the doer! Beckett will leap, jump, climb anything and anywhere without a speckle of fear. If he needs to get from A to B, Bennett will not walk or take the path provided. Beckett is charged with energy – all the time.

Beckett couldn’t be more opposite to his brainy brothers if he tried. That’s usually his twin Beckett, who usually isn’t listening. Myles likes nothing more than learning and spouts lyrical at anyone who will listen.
