The very first side was Logic. He formed as soon as Thomas was born and developed with him. Self Preservation came soon after, a quiet side that only spoke when Thomas was in danger, and then very loudly. Then came Creativity. A whole king who was a bit mischevious but always had good intentions. After one too many times of Thomas drawing on walls, Morality formed. He kept Creativity relatively in check, but as Thomas grew older, he caused the split. The Prince and the Duke formed, sad brothers. The Duke was forced into the care of Self Preservation and the Prince was taken under the wing of Morality. After too long of dealing with the Duke, Self Preservation also split. Deceit and Anxiety formed, constantly fighting. Anxiety was scared that the Duke would hurt Thomas, but Deceit knew better and defended the Duke, raising him to be honest. Anxiety got more power the older Thomas got, but never enough to actively hurt Thomas, Logic ensured that. Eventually, they were given names. Prince named himself Roman. He named Morality Patton and Logic Logan. The Duke named himself Remus and named Anxiety Virgil. Deceit didn't want a name, nor did he want anyone to know him by any other name, but Remus gave him one anyway, whispering it to him after a long night of Thomas being unable to sleep. Neither of them knows how Virgil knows Deceit's name. Virgil sought out Patton often. He believed he was better off with him, nevermind the kindness and shelter Remus and Deceit had given him over the years. Virgil didn't know of the things Patton did in the name of "Keeping Thomas a good person." He didn't know how shut off from their feelings Logan and Roman had become, how Patton had constantly set them back in their goals to further Thomas' life, how he sabotaged them at every turn, how he took away their very purpose. Virgil got what he wanted, however, and joined the core group. Deceit and Remus cried, yes, they mourned, yes, but they also shook with anger. Remus blamed himself at first, knowing how much Virgil hated him and was scared of him. Deceit tried his best to dissuade him from such thoughts. Despite their anger, they still cared for Virgil. They cared for Roman. They cared for Logan. They saw how broken the three were because of Patton. Thomas is supposed to have morals, yes, but not like this. Not like this.
