Requiem of Fate

Drizzling water pouring upon my face, sounds of splashing water around me. It was a dark and rainy day, gloomy yet refreshing with a strange feel.

I walked down the streets while the cold winds send chills down my spine.

"Where am I?" I thought suddenly. Everything around me started to be consumed by the darkness until it was pitch black and multiple footsteps are heard, approaching me.

"Who goes there ?" I asked in a shaky voice,clenching my fist preparing for self defense.

All the footsteps stopped. In unity, 3 blurred figures appeared around me , replying "We are one, you are WE !"

Doesn't take a genius to figure out this figures most probably represents the 3 different aspects of me.

Suddenly , one of them step up, what I saw was a man in a fully steel plated armor suit with a he's full helm on. "I m Courage." says the figure.
"Wait, I know you, Courage the Cowardly Dog right ?" says me jokingly. "Everyone knew I was a spineless douchebag, I will be damned if I had something called "Courage" in me."

The figure chuckled and said "Men will never Look at the things that they don't want to See. Most men will never look at what they fear the most."

"Of course, it's the most logical thing to do, people can't accept the truth. Might as well don't admit that the truth is there, what hurts the most is probably fatal solution to most people. But it's stupid to do so, running away isn't going to solve anything. I will seek truth, seek clarity, seek knowledge, look fear in the eye even if I m crying. Well at least I m still standing and trying to be strong." a long winded replied by me.

"For in much wisdom is much grief, and increase of knowledge is increase of sorrow"

"A happy doo da world isn't going to be fun anyway."

The figure suddenly disappears and a 2nd figure appears, A man wearing a mask and wearing a cloak.

"I m Pride."

"Ooooooo, Pride ! Do you know I have a large/fragile ego that will burst anything and nuke everyone else around me ? Absolutely fantastic ! Thanks to you of course."

"Well, at least your taking PRIDE in something negative."

"I wasn't complimenting you douchebag."

"Takes one to call one. Anyway, I can see I m an element that is deeply bounded into you. But what defined by you just now earlier is not PRIDE for your information."

"Then what is ?"

"a high sense of one's personal status (i.e., leading to judgements of personality and character) or the specific mostly positive emotion that is a product of praise or independent self-reflection."

"Dude, I could have swear ed you just wikipedia-ed that."

"No citation is needed for such descriptions."

"Ok whatever man, I guess I can just make you disappear like that Courage dude with some long winded crap."

"Go on."

"Ok, here's the deal. Yea I admit I m too prideful for my own good. Individualistic sense, I hate people that are incompetent, most people are incompetent shits anyway. Yea I know, it's not right to think so as whom are we to judge. That's why I rather to be alone, rather than pulled down to their 2nd rated level and be a jerk and screw everyone else. Perhaps isolating myself for my pride is the best thing to do, nobody will get hurt that way."

"Well said, remember, do the right thing always. Honor above all."

Pride disappears and the 3rd figure come forward, suddenly the scene shifted into a blurry dimension filled with black hole and voids.

"Who are you then ? My dark side or something ?"

"Far from close, I m you, you am I, subconsciously"

"Seriously ? I was always conscious man ! You must be shitting me."

"Remember that you always monologue with yourself ? Thats me, in your mind, talking to you."

"So your my imaginary friend huh ?"

"You can put it that way. Any idea why are you here smart arse?"

"This must be a dream, it got to be! Talking to yourself in your dream is way beyond logical explainations."

" This is the realm of self conscious and self discovery. You just met Pride and Courage, entities of you. Tell me, do you know who you really are?"

" Well, the MBTI test told me I was INTP. If that wasn't enough, I m 22 thi-"

"I MEANT, Are you self conscious of whom you are?"

"Well....Yea...I guess. What kind of question was that ?"

" What do you want."

" Err....lots of money ?"

"Barely an answer. Who are you ?"

"Look dude, Here's my IC."

"I guess you getting the idea why are we here having this little conversation. You don't know who you are."

"That's not true man, I m perfectly know who am I kay ?"

"Yet you didn't knew you had courage and pride ?"

"about that....It was a fluke !"

" I hope after this, You will know who are you, and what you want."

" Wait, after what ?"

Suddenly, the scene around me suddenly changes, it was like photography , except it consists of my memories of 20 years lifetime.

"People Come , People Go", "You know that"
"We all have our choices to make"
"We are who we chose to be"
"Know your purpose, fulfill your destiny."
"I am you. We are us. Singularity shall be achieved."
"Know yourself."
"Now, We Are One!"

Suddenly I found myself awoke in my bed, with sunlight piercing through the curtains and blinding my eye. It was really just a dream. But it was so clear...it was surreal...so epic.

Suddenly a voice faintly rings in my mind.
"What do you want?"

I could only give a devilish grin.
