The new legend

“In the beginning there was a whisper in the dark, an Echo of what had passed before.
Through time this whisper became a voice. A voice of virtue and vice, infinite and incomparable.
Though within its balance it found only loneliness. The Echo began to fade for it had no peer to reflect upon.
In its last moments, to save its self from eternal silence, the Echo siphoned four pieces of its essence into Entities unto themselves.
We know these Entities as:
Pride the Peacock,
Ambition the Magpie,
Calm the Vulture,
Insight the Owl.
The Entities surrounded the Echo, resonating its essence, halting its fade.
However the Echo was not eternally safe, for it had made a grave mistake.
The Entities’ virtues and vices were balanced individually.
Pride came with honor and arrogance.
Ambition came with affluence and greed.
Calm came with patience and lethargy.
Insight came with wisdom and deceit.
Together, within the Echo, the Entities’ essences were an equilibrium but when separated, they clashed.
A battle between the Entities ensued for a time we cannot conceive, in the end however, the Echo had no other choice but to destroy the Entities and in doing so dispersed their essence.
From the ashes of this tragedy the fragments of their essence formed our world and its four nations, the walls of the prison that now incarcerate the weakened Echo.
It is inevitable however, for we are not eternal, that the Echo shall once again take back the essence that gives us life, devouring us all.”
