There was a time when looking in the shining surface he would have seen himself decked out with badges and trophies, standing tall and proud- famous for his bravery and skill. He would see himself standing apart from his brothers, having done what they had, and more.
He would see himself as worthy of the love of Passion and Energy in physical form, with all of her bushy hair and bossy ways.
That was 15 years ago. The world had changed, and so had his hearts deepest desires.
He looked in the mirror now, and saw only his true reflection.
