Calm in Chaos

Jindovan/Kaly drabble. I'm pretty sure they might not even be mentioned in the book at all, but I really want people to know them. Kaly might be one of my favorite Gods in the whole 'verse...

Jindovan's job is keeping perfect balance. There must always be just as much bad as there is good, as much death as there is birth, as much black as there is white.

Kaly calls him Jin; he is the only one who does. Sometimes it bothers Jindovan that there's not an even number of people who do, but then Kaly comes around with his bright blonde hair and his swirling, confusing blue eyes. To humans, they're stressful: what should they decide to see - ice or midnight or sky or ocean? Kaly is the God of Choices.

Kaly calls him Jin, kisses him sweetly, all lips and all soul. He is the only one who does. Kaly spends far more time on Jindovan than he does on other things, whispers in Jindovan's ear that "some choices are easy." And being with Kaly is easy; it's no sacrifice and all gain.

It is the imbalance of them that makes them balanced; they are Yin and Yang. Jindovan knows every consequence of every cosmic shift. He knows what would happen if he lost Kaly.

How could the world possibly remain standing when the very God of Balance lacks his equilibrium, stumbles, and falls?
