"Once there was 4 young kings." Virgil started telling Roman a story, as he tucked himself into bed. "There names where..." Virgil thought for a moment and said; "Logos, Pathos, Romeo and...hmm...Julian!"
"Wait...Julian? Is that the best you could come up with? The others name's are so cool!" Roman stated
"Well, i'm not the creative side" Virgil muttered. "Why don't you come up with something better?"
Roman thought for a moment and said; "Virgo?"
"Alright...Anyway, they ruled over there own kingdoms. Logos ruled the kingdom of knowledge. All who didn't past a few test at school, where slaughtered like pigs. Only the most intelligent survived" Virgil noticed Roman's face, twisted in horror. "Don't worry. It gets better. Pathos ruled the kingdom of kindness. Anyone who was rude to others was arrested, but in a petting zoo, instead of a jail cell." He noticed Roman relax a bit. "Romeo ruled the kingdom of theatre. Plays where preformed often, and mostly the plays where of Disney movies. Now, the last king, Virgo ruled the kingdom of h-"
"Let me guess. Fear? Anxiety? Nerves?" Roman cut in.
"No, actually. he ruled the kingdom of high spirits. happiness... positivity" Roman notice Virgil's head drop, as if he where remembering something long ago. "they where always smiling. they would always be positive...no matter the cost, or how bad a situation was... the kingdoms ruled in silence, but once, god Thomas-io, called them to him. he explained, when the time was right, there kingdoms would fall...every last person, gone, except for them. the 4 kings would be parts of one person, named Thomas, and they would also adopt knew names. they represented what there kingdoms did." he watched roman, awe spread across his face. "they, in time, all became close friends. one day, while Logos, Pathos and Romeo where talking, a man with one yellow eye, and green scales on half his face approached Virgo. he lured him away, where he abused him. hurt him in many ways. made him the embodiment of fear itself. The others began to notice King Virgo's sudden change. he was known by anxiety, and not as positivity or resilience, or any other thing. he was destined to rot away. the others started to avoid him, not realising he was actually Virgo. no one has seen his real side since."
"Do-don't the kings in the story represent us? i mean, Pathos? Logos? Romeo? There all only a few letters away form Patton, Logan and Roman. thats why i suggested the last king to be named Virgo...wait...you don't mean- Virgil! wait!" Virgil slipped out of Romans bedroom door, not wanting to explain his words.
why did i have to tell him that story? He might bring it up. Oh, Patton...I'm sorry Patton.
Just then, a sark figure rose behind Virgil.
"Howdy-dowdy, Anxiety. Or should i say Confidence?"
tears rolled down Virgil's face. He ran strait to his room, and slammed the door.
"Oh poor. little. Virgil. Boo Hoo" Deceit said sarcastically as he appeared in front of Virgil's nose, just inches away. "Do yourself a favour. Let me handle everything for you, and you won't be questioned by our fellow sides. what do you say?" he extended his hands, to shake on the deal, and Virgil swore he saw golden-yellow flames come off his hand, similar to that of Bill Cypher from Gravity Falls. He started scratching at his arm.
"No" he said in a confident, but quiet voice. "I-I won't except your deal. I've been tricked by you before! I'm not about to let my FRIENDS pay for MY mistakes!" he said, standing on his toes, to look taller, and more threatening to Deceit.
