In the beginning, we were together. It has been a long time since the last one left. Everyone feels the loss of their friends, their loved ones. None more so than I. You see I have been cursed with the intelligence to know the difference.
There used to be six of us. We were created to help mankind but one by one my brothers disappeared.
Justice left when both armies of the holy wars claimed him for themselves.
He was the first to leave.
Humanity left when genocide came to stay for a while.
Transcendence departed when people lost faith in their beliefs, be it god or man.
Temperance left when the world turned into a demanding entitled environment.
Courage faded when people were too scared by the opinions of other people to voice their own.
I’m wisdom and I’m still here. But that’s only because I knew we were destined to fail.
Now, all I do is wait. I believe we will be reunited one day. Life just has to come full circle.
