"It is said that the Phoenix of Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind were created by Aeon, better known as the Phoenix of Light, Life, Peace and Creation, to aid him in killing Mors, the Phoenix of Darkness, Death, Chaos and Destruction."
"Do you know why?"
"Long before the ill fated battle, Mors was tranquil once....he was working seamlessly with Aeon. Life and death, peace and chaos, all being combined into a mixture of morbid beauty. Until Aeon happened across our little planet, Earth. He fell in love with a mortal woman, she was a princess, seen knelt, hands clasped together, praying at his altar. She wished for her sick father, King Arthur to become better. Aeon listened to this prayer, he agreed to help her, but in return she must wed him, she said yes. Mors, hearing news of this grew jealous and enraged, he wanted Aeon to himself, so as his last attempt, he wanted to destroy everything Aeon created, to plunge this world into eternal darkness. But, for luck was on our side, he was stopped, slain by the five Phoenix's and banished into the black flames of the underworld....forever..."
"But yet again, as luck would have it, we need all six of them to save the Earth before we destroy ourselves...."
"Now, would I go to prison and atone for my sins? Yes, but I cannot. No matter how hard I've tried."
-----
"I swear, I'm not crazy! I just...don't know if the truth is better than a lie."
-----
"We're better off dead, aren't we?"
"...Yeah, we are."
"Good."
-----
"What's the point in living when you're built without a purpose?"
-----
"Deities, gods, whatever you call them, are nothing more than puppets; cruel, unforgivable puppets drenched in the blood of the very people they were supposed to protect."
-----
"We've lived a thousand lives, and we were built for only one purpose; for if we weren't, then what right do we have to exist if not to live for solely that purpose? For their entertainment."
-----
"We may be without muzzles, but we're still on a leash. Don't forget that."
-----
"You lied to me, and that's how all this came to be."
-----
To those who find themselves reading this, know that appearances will deceive you. So, until you're safe from them as well, trust everyone fragilely and have your loyalty lie with you, and you alone.
