Life and Death

=== Short Story Featuring Romeo, Leonard, Morgan, Gorgon ===
Ah.. the good old times. We were just four kids grouped up to fend for eachother. The Black Castle wasn't the easiest place to grow up, so we stuck together. It was me, Romeo, Leonard, his brother Javi and Lyla. We often heard the Soul Cultists speak of Javi having the strongest soul. I sometimes had a hard time focusing as Lyla always made me feel a little blushed. We would always walk aside when the brothers were fighting, it was nice, it almost made me look forward to their arguments. 
			
As we grew up the brothers fought more and more, it strengthened mine and Lyla's bond, but we were starting to get worried as we discovered they were fighting about succession in the Castle's throne. One day, I wish we would've butted into their fight before it was too late.
			
Blood splashed all over my face, and the devestation in Lyla's eyes told me everything. It was Javi's blood, and he was just killed by his brother. He gave a last attempt at winning, and uses his soul to defeat Leonard. It did a number on Leonard, but somehow wasn't enough.
			
Leonard only suffered a fatal wound around his eye, and was somehow able to use that pain to channel his brothers soul, and to take over it. Leonard triumphed, and he was now also bearing his brothers soul as a weapon.
				
I guess Lyla couldn't bear watching this, and came up with the worst idea ever. She tried to give me her soul, she said that I'd defeat him and then hand it back to her in time, before her phyiscal body died. I was gonna say no, but she had already begun the process, and now I was evenly matched with Leonard.
				
Or so I thought. Javi's soul was afterall the strongest, and... I failed. She trusted me with her life, no, her soul, and I failed. He broke it and my heart with it. I had nothing left, and Leonard was now ready to kill me.
					
I only had myself, and I tried the one thing all instructors always told us to stay away from. Fighting with your own soul. It worked, and I now teach it at the black castle. Because, fighting with someone else's soul is for cowards.
