༄

The ever crashing all light from the realm of Victory felt warm on Dignity's skin as she grazed upon its golden sky. Her kingdom built upon mankind's great achievements. Her realm was by far the best of them all, but that was too be expect. Nothing but the best for the fair Empress.

She ran her down one of the many marble pillars. They stood tall and proud, holding up the Victory goddess' castle. She smiled as her golden sun burned with confidence, shining a bright light upon her people.

"My Lady."

Dignity turns towards the sound of the song like voice behind her. Standing proudly and securely behind her was her most faithful servant, Fearon. For a man meant to embody humanities greats failures, he was prideful and assured in himself.

"Yes Fearon."

"Lord Dream, he's here."

Dignity smirks and turns her entire head to him

"Well, well... bring him to me. He is our guest after all."

Fearon nods and walks past his Empress, his stance tall and proud.

It's not long afterwards The King of Dreams stood infront of the Empress of Victory. Her circle table, made completely of marble, sat strong and firm in the floor.

"My, my, dear sister; still as lovely as ever."

Dignity curtsy'd and smiled at her older brother

"Dream, what a pleasant surprise. I thought Fearon was toying with me with he said you were here."

Dream hums in response, his gaze on the ground. Dignity moves closer to Dream, sensing his hesitance. He wraps his arm around her shoulders, whispering closely

"I come bearing news of Destruction."

Dignity nods eagerly, opening for good news.

"His realm is in Chaos. His absence has lead to the clash of Destruction and Creation."

"And idea as to where he had gone?"

Dream sighs. He places a hand softly on her cheek. He rubs his thumb softly against her fair skin.

"Dream?"

The King of Dreams let's out a sigh.

"No unfortunately. Destruction has disappeared without trace."

Dignity nods, looking away from her older brother.

"We will find him Dignity. You have my word."

Dignity nods before turning back to her brother. She smiles before pulling him into a hug. Dream is taken by surprise, but he wraps his arms around her slightly.

"Thank you, big brother." She whispers

He nods at her as he pulls away.

"Now, I imagine you have to be off."

"Yes, my realm-"

Dignity rolls her eyes at him. Dream stops and looks to the woman

"What?"

"I really think that you don't want anyone to see you vulnerable."

"When was I vulnerable."

Dignity rolls her eyes once more before slapping his shoulder

"Get out."

Dream chuckles before bowing and disappearing into a sand mist

"Great. Now there's sand all over my floor."

༄

Standing in her marble gallery, Dignity sighed as she continued to listen to Desires' new scheme.

"And that's how we get him."

"Your obsession with our older brother is quite disturbing."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that I still don't understand as to why you still try and include me in these vicious schemes."

"Because you are victory! You are our secret weapon."

"My answer is the same as before. No."

"But sister-"

"Are you really so blind that you cannot see where this leads?"

"To us finally getting the best of Dream?"

"To the destruction of the Earth!" Dignity says in annoyance

"No-"

"I have already informed Destiny of your plan Desire. It's time for this foolishness to come to an end."

Desire looks to her in an heated rage before disconnecting. Dignity smirks victorious before walking to the other side of the gallery. Floating mid-air was Death's symbol.

Dignity contemplated for a moment before contacting her. After a few moments she responds.

"Hello?"

"Death, my sister, how are you?"

"Oh, I'm doing well my little sister. And you?"

"Alright I suppose. Desire is back to scheming."

"One of these days, they'll learn. You must be patient." Death advises

"I know sister. I know. I just wish they would already realize how this all ends, so we can stop it before it's too late."

"You know we are not allowed to interfere without being directly involved."

Dignity sighs

"I know my sister, I know."

"I am sorry Dignity. I know that you want to protect Morephus, but the King of Dreams can hold his own."

"I know Death. I just-"

"I know darling. I must go now, but I would like for you to try not to think about it."

Dignity can only nod as her eldest sister disconnects.

༄

"We are but servants, here for the benefit of mankind. It would do you well to remember that Desire." -Dignity

September 1922

Dignity paced the halls of her magnificent castle, Fearon watching closely as his mistress throws one of her many trophies into the wall. The golden material shattered at contact. Her warm browns eyes were covered in golden flames, threatening to consume her soul.

"My Lady, can I-"

"NO FEARON!" Dignity screams her voice echoing through her realm.

The faithful servant simply nodded and bowed, not taking his mistresses harsh tone personally.

Dignity stops for a moment and breathes in and out. Her harsh golden eyes returned to their warm brown glint.

"I am sorry Fearon, I..."

"My Lady, perhaps you should lie down."

Dignity nods slightly. But her gaze remained on the setting sun.

"I have not lost one, but two brothers. And there is absolutely nothing I can do."

Fearon only nods silently at his mistress, but an idea begins to form in his head.

"My Lady, if I may suggest." He begins

Dignity turns around to him. Eagerly waiting for him to continue.

"You may not be able to help Master Destruction, but I believe I know a way for you to be able to save Lord Dream."
