Summary: The guardians, in triads, as their conscious minds and such
Freud described the consciousness and the unconscious mind as three parts. The Ego, the Superego, and the Id. The Id is the part that wishes for instant gratification. The Superego is what society demands, the person you would like to be, and the Ego is the compromise between the two.
Red wonders about that. He thinks that Destiny is the Id, and Hope is the Superego, and he, when he's himself, and Master of Hidden Shadows – he is the Ego who has to keep the balance. It's really quite taxing!
Now he understands how Lance feels, too, because he has Crystal and Catelyn.
It is not easy being a guardian, but only one who is Chosen can understand the pain of another Chosen one…
At least now Lance won't be lonely, and Red holds him, and tries to ignore his shuddering breaths. It's hard for Lance to balance, because ice and dragon are opposing elements, but Red will try his best to help, until their lives burn out.
And that is what love really is.
