I honestly shouldn't be starting any other challenges... But this one seemed so cool! I'll be putting quotes in the beginning of each drabble, so... yeah!

.Pride.
Ansem the Wise
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
The Heart was such an interesting thing; so many emotions and feelings. Love, hate, trust, hope, grief, anger, pride… Pride was definitely a big one for him, even if he didn't see it until it was too late. Ansem the Wise; he knew it should have been more like Ansem the Prideful Fool.
He had so many great philosophies and ideas, but the ones about the Heart were the most intriguing of his research. It was such an interesting thing, the Heart. Undoubtedly one of the most amazing and complex structures in the entire universe. The emotions and energy running through it pushed people to do the unthinkable—good or bad, it didn't matter. It was inspiring, deep; it was what ran society. It was uncontrollable like a wildfire and equally non-understandable by a mere human mind.
But imagine, if you will, being one of those mere humans and understanding this crazy, beautiful thing called the Heart. If one could discover the secrets of it, surely he would be able to control it—and not just his own, but everyone else's.
He could play God.
And that's exactly where Ansem was. The thoughts quickly became experiments, and those experiments destroyed many worlds, including his own, before he knew how to stop it. His own pride had blinded him to the destructive nature the Heart possessed: its terrible dark side. Over the years, the pride drifted to hate, to the thirst for revenge, which only left him as an empty person in the end. The regret that filled his heart every day was because of his own idiocy. The Heart was too difficult a thing to grasp the concept of, but what was worse was the fact that he thought that he could do the impossible.
What a fool.
