Our Tale
We are the plague doctors. An ancient forgotten lore so dark and evil it must remain banished forever. We are the darkness and sins of the world. A curse trapped within in each of us, never to be unlocked, for all the terrors and calamities of the world may yet be unleashed again. Seal us, but again, do not fear us. We will cure and purge the world of fear and horror, and may this curse never be released again. This, is our tale.
We were loathed at, looked down upon. Different, diseased, plagued, and alone. Why, just why? We never chose our existance! We never chose for the plague to be contained within us, to never be unlocked to our fullest potentials. We were nothing but the forgotten sins and evils of the world. Nothing but Pride, Envy, Temperament, Lust and Wrath. Maybe we could've fallen to the depths of hell itself, but a fateful light shown down on that day, the day of the Holy Grail. The day of destruction must never once fall upon us again. May we praise the Holy Grail again, Amen.
There were 5 of us, Deceit, Crucify, Infinity, Fission,and Satanic. And there was nothing in us but darkness; not a single ray of light shown past us. Each of us contain a plague, and with a certain key, it will be unlocked and destroy the world. Death will mask their cries, and darkness shall enter their hearts, and nothing will stop it. We each feared that power and in our weakness, it controlled us. The verge of insanity was our friend and several times, we were close enough to venture, yet we held our place. The room was dark and grim, and just about everything was depressing. Each of us had already predicted our own fate, and had come to accept us. There were chains gripping our feet, more like, the Chains of Hell and Fate wrapped around us.
They came by midnight. Took the chains off silently, with hatred and boiling anger flashing in their eyes. They wore gloves to protect themselves, how stupid! The guards were more worried about themselves than us! And then, that glimmer of hope rushed into me and without another thought I rammed into them, shaking the chains that tried to take me away. They yanked on the chains, shouting foul dirty words at me and I dropped to the floor. Nothing could be done about this, why even have a faintest trace of hope when your purpose of life was already taken away from you? Our purpose of life was only to die. We were brought to the center of the town, where 5 crosses hung. I looked up with no emotions. Was death really that inviting, that simple? Was there no fear? The question drifted into the back of my mind as I was brought to the front of the stage that was set for us. A chunky flox clothed in riches and jewelries hobbled in front of them, adressing to the huge crowd in front of him. Clearing his throat, he began to speak.
"To this day, I will be the Savior of the world! I will rid it of the curses and sins and everything will be purged and holy once more. A new era, a new revelation will dawn to us,and all good deeds shall be cleansed and deemed rightous. Today, I bring forth the five plagues that have destroyed this world, and we will rid of them, together!"
He lit a match and held it high in the air. The crowd roared in approval. The five plagues looked down, ashamed of themselves.
They were bond to each cross, bundles of hay at the bottom. Each guard lit a match, and then, they set the hay on fire. An intense heat was blown at them, and their deathes were sure to be followed in order. We closed our eyes, our fate already decided for us. This, was the end.
Drip. Drip.Drip Drop Drop.
There was only a melodic sound of a single drop, and then more followed, until they became a chorus. It was despressing, but it, was a hero to the plagues. The fire was vanquished. Why? Why now? There was nothing of us anymore. It stopped suddenly as it had come, and then, rays of light began breaking throughout the crowds, but it only landed on the plagued floxes. Everything else was dark and despressing the crowd fell silent in shock an awe.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out, clear and loud. It held peace and great burden in its voice, yet it was kind and gentle. It came from above, far beyond the clouds, another universe.
"You, you are the true plagues of yourselves! You have been poisoned inside and have turned against yourselves, all of you! Look at you, you hold nothing but Pride, Envy, Temperament, Lust and Wrath! You lot of people are the true sins and evils! Look at yourselves, what rightous is this but to blame the plague on others? You only care about yourself, and nothing more. Begone, you filthy vile creatures!" The voice was addressed to the crowd, not the five plagued Flox. The crowd screamed as terror filled their eyes. They threw down their riches as they trampled one another, fleeing in fear.
A flash of light appeared and a glowing flox appeared in front of the floxes bound to the crosses. It snapped its fingers and the strings that bond us broke. The voice spoke to us this time.
"You are not five plagues, but the five virtues of the world. You are Humility, Kindness, Persistance, Chastity, and Patience. Treasure your virtues dearly." The glowing flox flew by, touching each of their locks, their hearts. In an instant, it was as if a pain, a burden, had been released by them. "You are the true heros of the story, and may you bring the light that this world once had. I entrust you with that duty." We bowed down, in awe of the flox's powers, yet fearing it.
"Do not bow down, we are but equal serving the same Savior," the glowing flox spoke gently and with that, it was gone.
The clouds cleared ,only leaving a present behind, the rainbow.
We were the Plague Doctors. We had not been the true plagues, it had been the people who held the plagues deep down in their hearts. And with our virtues, we will each treasure and share them, and bring back the light of this world. We will purify the vile sins and purge the world holy once again. We do not fear our powers no longer. To this day, it shall be known as the Day of the Holy Grail.
