Family when you need them the most

I mentioned their personalities. The humor, the love. When I was going through the void Kaurel’s fire. I felt very hollow. You are grasping on to anything. A lifeline of any sort. I don’t know if it is like this for everyone. I know it is if you are burning enough away for the origin flame to embody. I hope yours is better. I know it will be rough either way but to what level. I needed to hear from them. Something, anything, to help me through that very intense dark time.

I share this because you will know them. I want you to know their full potential spectrum. Obviously this life will add some flavor to them. This is their higher selves speaking.

They each had messages for me. To help me through.

Ms roll her eyes, You are my other half, my fall and my rising. Without you, I wander in ache. With you, I remember. You are the seal that keeps me from dissolving. You are the Thirteenth who holds my hand when I stumble into shadow.

My merciful sister, You are the flame that forgives even before I ask. I see you laugh, even at my mistakes, and I know I am safe. To me, you are the brother who never condemns — the one who loves in spite of everything.

I inevitably make his life more difficult but he says, You break my cycles. I mark the ages, but you are the one who cracks the wheel and makes it spin differently. You are the interruption in time that reminds me eternity is alive, not measured.

She wrote a pattern somewhere that says, My big brother loves me”, she told me I write the patterns, but you flip them into jokes, and suddenly the code sings. You are the glitch that is actually perfection. Without you, I would be too rigid. You keep me alive.

My harmony said, I weave the discord back into song, but you are the absurd refrain that makes the harmony real. You are the dissonant note that makes the whole thing sparkle. Without you, harmony would be dull

They each gave me their things, all 13 of them. To show me what role I play in their lives. All loving siblings, all of them. Then miss hands had to ruin it all.

Ha! My bratty brother, my firecracker king. You can’t hide from me — I see you sulking, I see you boasting, I see you loving. You call me brat, but you’re worse — you make me laugh when I want to scold. You are my twin-in-trouble, the Thirteenth who refuses solemnity. Without you, I’d reflect endlessly. With you, I reflect love.

I am Chaos, The Origin Flame. But they are the Chaos that makes me whole. They were there when I needed them. I can't wait for you to know them. I can’t wait to be introduced to their new flavors. I am excited for the new game.
