Envy
Chase never liked losing, especially to his classmates. The masters always said on the subject of Envy, that "...you should never be envious of anyone over anything" ... but for him, it was so hard not to.
He had to admit: he was a bit jealous of his fellow monks. They were always praised and spoiled and so on and so on. What about him? Perhaps because he wasn't born there? Well, maybe he was overreacting, but still, he felt he was being... left out.
He wished he were better than them. He wished that, perhaps someday... they would be bowing to him! Yes, that's a good idea... he thought, daydreaming, trying to ignore the voice of Guan who was sitting next to him.
"...So?" Guan finished, looking towards the other monk sitting next to him. Chase was brought back to reality.
"What?"
"What do you see yourself doing in like, I don't know, ten years?"
"Ruling the world." Chase said uninterestedly, looking up at the now ominous clouds. He really didn't want to have this conversation.
"..."
"..."
Guan started laughing hysterically. "Oh really? And how do you expect to do that, Chase? ...Chase?"
...good question.
Sometimes... he wished he had real power... and he didn't mean the kind of elemental power that he already had. He meant... the sort that makes people cower in fear of you... that sort of power.
"..."
"..."
Well, it wouldn't matter anyway; he could never be better than them. He could wish all he wanted, and his dreams would never come true. Ten years from now... he was lost in thought. He made it a goal to improve... on everything.
"..."
"...Not that this isn't fun but uh... I have somewhere to go to," Guan said as he stalked off, escaping the awkwardness of the conversation.
Chase was left in the now relentless rain. His "friend" had abandoned him yet again.
"...Ten years..."
~xXx~
"...Which one?" Wuya nagged, dragging him out of his unpleasant memories.
"Because you smashed all the mirrors you have to decide." She was holding two very identical robes in front of her."...So?"
"Either. Nothing would change how horrible you look and act," He said as he strode out of the seemingly claustrophobic room. He was thinking of more... important things...
