This is a collaboration between three people I'll leave our normal accounts for you guys if you want to see what we do on our own

Joshua P.O.V

I sit at the bar as I try to ignore the three voices in my head by simply distracting myself but I can only do so much to avoid them. I wish they'd give me a break already we just got back to Albion from a long voyage I was tired and in need of a strong drink. The bartender gives me a drink which was strong but not enough.

"Joshua what are you doing? At least say thanks or tip them," a gentle feminine voice scolds.

"Don't leave a large tip, save your money we might need it later," a soft, feminine yet commanding voice counters.

"Who cares?! He's going to die anyways Wisdom" a voice sasses back. A voice I recognize as Cruelty.

These three voices came here about a month ago and they're trying there best to help me but I've learned that Cruelty isn't of any help at all. The only helpful ones are Truth and Wisdom, they have tried their best but it's not like the can do much considering they are just voices in my head. The only thing that really bothers me about them is Cruelty's and Wisdom's arguments and the odd fact all of the sound like women despite me being a man.

Truth is very kind and gentle and seems to put a value on manners and happiness. Her choices always seem to try to make me and others happy while also being bluntly honest.

Wisdom has gotten me out of many bad decisions it's like she knows something the other two aren't aware of... The trio has picked up on the fact that I've been really starting to hate the single life a few weeks back to which she responded with "Patience Joshua I can guarantee that it won't be like this forever just you wait," I hope Wisdom is right.

Then last is Cruelty she is a handful but can be useful on deck and when disciplining my men. She wants me dead and probably wishes she was confined to any other mind than mine.

After I had a second drink Wisdom convinced me to at least try to stay sober so I can walk home to which I followed her advice to then I realized the other two were quite.

I paid my tab and started walking and whispered "Why aren't the other two not talking Wisdom"

"Joshua we are a part of you, yes but we are all worn out they are resting. I'm not resting until you are at home where you can't make life-threatening decisions," Wisdom responded.

"You need to rest?" I ask as I walk home.

"Yes Joshua, we need rest just like any other human. We need to rest and take breaks in order to show our full potential Truth and Cruelty are tired because of how often you used them today because you weren't in need of my help all that much today I have more energy," she explained "I assure you tomorrow those two will be right as rain," she said.

I got home and collapsed on the bed and fell asleep when my head hit the pillow.

"Goodnight Joshua."
