They were creations, made from the souls of others and their bodies were made of dust and metal. Nothing was fully their own—their life came from someone else, their energy from a rock containing the blood of hundreds, their entities from the ground they sprang up from. When they died, they could be replaced easily and their bodies would return back into the earth, as though they weren't here in the first place.
(As though they were ghosts, as though they were invisible, as though they were—)
There was nothing to prove they'd ever walked on the earth, as they were kept in secret, hidden from the world they lived in.
(And that was a mockery. Lived? They didn't live, they didn't die, they were just there.)
Their names were not carefully chosen for being just 'Envy' or 'Lust' was enough because they'd end up pretending they were someone else. They never remained themselves except in secret and even then they were only like that for a few precious moments. Instead, they usually ended up taking someone else's name, someone elses' appearance—
Always someone else, never themselves.
'Envy' was a general, a cat, a painter. 'Lust' turned into a cause for destruction. 'Gluttony' was a bomb that didn't realize his true nature. 'Greed' had been changed again and again, for the nth time.
They envied humans for their emotions, for their personalities, for being unique because they weren't. They were pale imitations instead and no one wanted to be a fake.
Envy turned to hate, hate into destruction, and thus their goals began.
(If the originals disappeared, then they wouldn't be copies anymore.)
What they failed to realize was that they had emotions, something that was purely their own. They grew tired or bored, they wanted to sleep or hide, and it was all their own feelings. Something that wasn't borrowed or stolen, something that came from themselves.
And in the end, it was those emotions that would bring their downfall.
