Let me start with this. I'm sorry I can't finish anything! I read a great story by TitanPandora and it caused me to get hit with my writing inspiration surge. I tried to put it off, but I kept wanting to post it. I liked how TitanPandora portrayed the Seven Sins, so I wanted to see if I could do the same. Challenges and everything (since I want to be a real author). I hope you like this one!

Onto the Chapter!
Prologue
Chapter 1
Once there were four kingdoms. One in the North ruled by the rules Lust and Wrath. Contrary to the darkness and evil that was tied to their names, the couple was quite considerate.
Wrath would never start battles. In fact, it was rare that the king was ever angry. He would listen to every side of the story and dish out a fair punishment. The only thing that did seem to set him off was any mention of his wife.
Lust was a compassionate woman. Her golden brown eyes could melt the coldest heart. Before she married Wrath, she proposed to on a daily basis. Even after her marriage she was still proposed to, but she turned them down or Wrath would send them away. In their kingdom, peace and beauty reigned supreme.
In the East was the kingdom of Greed and Sloth. Even though she wasn't noticeable as her husband, Greed's contributions to the kingdom as well as the other kingdoms were noticeable. There always seemed to be enough money to be found, even if there was a crisis. Sloth would keep the kingdom active, with military training and examining the kingdom. In addition, Sloth was also one of the voices of reason for Wrath if he ever got angry. His calm attitude was different from Wrath's temper and served a good purpose.
In the West was the Kingdom of Gluttony and Envy. While unintentional, Envy did cause trouble with her appearance. Conflicts would arise if Envy wished it, which possibly was responsible for Envy envying the other kingdoms for being stable and not suffering as much as hers because of herself. Envy had the ability to see to a certain point in the future, but it would cause great pain or exhaustion to do so. At most the vision would come to her in a dream, leaving her less exhausted when she woke up. Gluttony was also like his name suggested. He did eat a lot, but never to the point where his kingdom would starve and he never kept it for himself. Food was abundant in the West Kingdom.
In the South, was Pride. He was alone, and he could not say it was something that he was proud of. He would witness the other rulers close relationships and always feel pain. Despite his name, Pride would never boast or speak over others. In fact, it could be said that, like Greed, his kingdom was barely noticeable. There were rumors of meetings between him and a certain other, but nothing that would cause a ruckus.
Then, further North. Far past the Northern Kingdom was a strange shrine kingdom. It was unknown who the ruler was, only that they had the job of bridging gaps that could shatter all of the kingdoms together. The only thing that had been revealed was that the ruler was to be referred to as the Celestial Fox. The only one who had come close to seeing them was Envy who said the outline reminded her of a young boy who had grown up quickly.
There had been attempts to contact Celestial Fox, but they all ended in failure.
Despite that, the kingdoms were still calm.

Then it came crashing down.
It had first been screaming. Envy had run out of the room, her eyes widened in panic and covering he ears. Gluttony stood up in a panic as his lover fled.
"Envy!" He heard a dull thud against the wall and ran over to it, almost ripping the door off as he did.
His lover was curled up against the wall shaking. When he approached her, she would push him away and shake her head.
Gluttony called an emergency meeting that night.
-/-
Wrath had almost ordered his lover to stay home at the castle, but one look at the golden brown eyes and he couldn't. He could see that Sloth hadn't been able to either. Greed stood next to him and looked just as worried as Lust.
"It was another vision." Gluttony said. "Envy refuses to tell me what it is without all of you here."
Gluttony's lover looked at everyone. "I saw everyone's death."
-/-
The was silent in shock.
"How." Wrath demanded. Lust clung to his arm, her skin deathly pale.
"Different ways." Envy replied. "Lust was stabbed by you. Then you turned the blade on yourself. Greed was running from something and fell to her death. I was crushed along with Pride and Gluttony."
"What about me?" Sloth asked.
Envy shook her head. "I couldn't see what happened to you."
"But there is no way to avoid this?" Pride spoke up. "None at all?"
Envy shook her head. "The Celestial fox falls, and their destruction caused this."
"Well we should prepare, right?" Lust spoke in a quiet voice. "For our deaths I mean..."
"That would be a good idea."
"Meeting adjourned."
-/-
"Are you alright, Lust?" Wrath asked, worried for his lover.
"I'm..." Lust let out a shaky breath. "I'm not sure. Hearing that you will be the one to kill me... I just don't know. Did I do something wrong?"
"No!" Wrath shouted and pulled her close. "You didn't do anything wrong. Don't think for a moment that you did. Remember when I do kill you, I kill myself afterwards."
"..." Lust was silent.
"Look at me." Wrath's cold blue eyes met Lust's warm gold ones. "I swear upon my honor, I will find you after this. I will not settle for anyone else. No matter how long. Even if you change and no longer look like this anymore, I will stay with you."
"That's sweet." Lust smiled. "I swear the same thing."
-/-
"So Greed," Sloth wrapped his arms around her waist. "What do you think will happen to me?"
"Please don't talk about it." Greed replied, her voice shaking. "I have to remember that I fall to my death."
"Don't remind me of that." Sloth tightened his grip on her, and rested his head on her shoulder. "I will destroy whoever hurts you."
"Your temper is just as bad as Wrath's."
"But you love me for it." Greed turned around and planted her lips on his.
"I love everything about you." Greed said as she pulled away from him.
"Well then..." Sloth smiled. "My beautiful wife, please don't ever leave me in our next life."
"If you don't leave me." Greed smiled back. "I won't leave you."
-/-
"Envy, are you sure it's tonight?" Gluttony held his silent wife. After the meeting, Envy hadn't said a word.
His lover simply nodded. The look on her face said she was expecting it. Gluttony couldn't blame her. He had always been there when Envy's visions came true. Still, Gluttony couldn't believe that he was dying with Envy and Pride. He never hated the ruler in the south, but the rumors about him and his lover caused some issues.
"Envy," She looked at him. "When we die, I want to stay with you. Please don't leave me."
He felt a cold hand on his cheek. He looked at Envy who was smiling at him. Her face said that she wouldn't leave him. She would stay until they died.
"Thanks."
-/-
The Celestial Fox fixed gaps in the barrier that had been created. There had been increasing problems with this barrier that protected the people within it.
As they neared the end of his night travel, a cold dark feeling traveled up his spine.
"Hello, Celestial Fox." They turned and saw a man in black armor walking towards him. Every step he took created another hole in the barrier.
"Stay back." Celestial Fox tried to sound brave, but the darkness coming from this man was choking him.
"Why?" A gloved hand grabbed their hand.
Celestial Fox let out a cry of pain. The dark energy traveled up his arm and sliced it as it did.
"Right. I can't touch you while either of us are like this." He almost seemed apologetic. "I guess I'll have to take drastic measures to have you."
"What are-" They were cut off when they were pierced through the chest by a sword. Blood came out of their mouth and they stared in horror.
"I hope I see you soon, Celestial Fox."
-/-
Wrath felt a cold fist wrap around his heart as he opened his eyes. For some reason anger was suddenly making itself known to him. His eyes dulled as he sat up in the bed he shared with Lust. The sword at the side of his bed tempted him. He knew he shouldn't even think of doing this, but something kept pushing him foreward. The blade in his hand was shining as he turned toward his sleeping lover.
Lust slowly opened her eyes and the sight that greeted her was Wrath with a sword in his hand. The woman sat up, her hair falling perfectly around her shoulders.
"So this is where my life ends..." Lust said, even though she was sure that her husband couldn't hear her. "Just remember the oath we made together."
Wrath broke down the moment his sword impaled Lust. Crimson stained the bed and weapon in his hand. He felt the cold grip loosen around his heart and he fell to his knees in front of his Lust. He held her cold body, tears spilling out of his eyes. He noticed the sword and slowly picked it up.
"Envy was right." Wrath said. "I'll be joining you soon."
The sword pierced Wrath's chest and he fell next to Lust as their castle crumbled.
-/-
Their kingdom was engulfed in black flames.
Greed ran from the dark soldiers that were chasing her. She and Sloth had been separated somewhere, but from the pain in her heart, he was gone.
As she was lost in her thoughts, she just barely noticed the cliff. Her heel dug into the ground to avoid it.
"Well." A cold voice said behind her. One of the dark soldiers took a step foreward.
Greed took a step back and heard the crumbling of the cliff. The ground broke and Greed fell.
She screamed until she died.
-/-
The walls around the kingdoms started to crumble. Pride, Gluttony, and Envy all waited for the end.
Envy simply shed a few tears as she knew the others had already died.
She wished to see them again as the castle caved in on them.
Pride laughed as his castle fell on him.
