Remember! If you don't like you don't need to read it.

"... Ashy?" The grey fragment tilts their head at the fragment of brilliant light.

"What's wrong?" He stares at them.

"I was wondering... do you know why the absolute being has us fight so much? Why can't he just end the war?" They sharpen their sword, their eyes dreary.

"I asked myself that as well," He mumbles. "I believe perhaps... there's another reason other than justice."

"Then why can't we just kill him?" The fragment mumbles.

"Light..." He stares at them. "He is our creator."

"But the monarchs fight against him! Why can't we do the same?!" The grey fragment cracks their weapon slightly. "Why do our soldiers die countless times while theirs do as well! War can only be so interesting for so long!"

The greatest fragment of brilliant light stares at them. "Light. We do not disobey the absolute being,"

The grey fragment bites down on their lip pathetically, tears in their eyes. "I hope that's your resolve if I die in the battle one day."

"Light... I told you-"

"It's enough," They place their sword back in place. "I don't wish to sour my mood anymore"

The greatest fragment of brilliant light watches silently as they slam the door behind them.

"Can we overthrow him?" The grey fragment kicks their legs while training. "What good is there from consistently fighting?"

The other fragments stare at you.

"He is-"

"Ok, so he's an absolute being? We're split from the most powerful source, light itself. Obviously, we would be able to defeat him if we all worked together," They knock another fragment back. "What do you say? Join forces with me?"

The other rulers look skeptical.

"Even if we die from this, wouldn't we be dying for a nobler cause instead of just dying from the pointless war?"

"Assemble!" The greatest fragment of brilliant light calls everyone, and they're all sent out to the battlefield again.

Halfway through the battle, a sound echoes through the battlefield.

Then, a revolution starts.

Fragments start killing fragments, suddenly the greatest fragment of brilliant light finds himself outnumbered by the rebels.

Somewhere back at the temple, a grey fragment laughs at the cracks on their armor.

"Oh... I look like a cracked muffin!" They giggle affectionately.

A gold hue glows from the cracks.

"I suppose it was supposed to end up this way." Filing their claws, they stroll to the throne room.
