The Seven Sinners

Dilan - Envy

Dilan couldn't begin to count the number of hours in his life he had wasted defending this gate from intruders, never allowed to enter those gates himself.

Oh, how he wished to escape the prison of his dull and boring life to the laboratories just a few feet behind him, where he could revel in the glory that his peers hoped to attain, as well as appease his curious nature by taking part in the ambitious experiments they were attempting.

Dilan only knew this last part by eavesdropping on Even and the Master talking in the hallways a few days ago, and what they were doing intrigued him.

They were performing experiments on the heart?

And trying to uncover the secrets of the universe?

How could Dilan not want to see that?

All he had seen his entire life was the scenery outside the castle. For once, he wanted to see life beyond these castle walls, to uncover things that no one had ever seen before, to see what the beautiful and curious world had to offer him.

Worst of all, Dilan felt disdain for the lucky souls that worked with Ansem; Xehanort, Braig, Ienzo and Even.

Why should they be allowed to glimse into glory while Dilan be left standing here in his self-pity and worthlessness?

Did he not have the right?

Was he any lesser a man than they?

Did God want him to fail, while at the same time condemn him by making him watch others succeed?

His envy kept eating at him like a worm would an apple. When would Dilan finally attain glory and become the person he was always meant to become?
