What is the Brotherhood?
September 27, 2011
You know something tragic Darkness?
Tragedy is when you realize you’re getting white hair sticking out of your nostrils Eva.
I am serious. You’re tragic Darkness. You should be in the Council by now. If only you….
Yes, Eva. If only, I held my tongue and towed the line. If only I bothered with the social niceities. If only I bothered with this or that.
Why not, it seems to be a small price to pay to be elected into the Council of the wise.
No Eva. I am not one of you.
What do you mean by that!
It means we come from different worlds.
Oh. I see where you’re coming from – you’re referring to the ancient order of the purple.
You should at least have the decency of hiding your sarcasm Eva.
Why should I. The order of Purple is no more. Wake up, we live in a new age Darkness.
Yes and what age would that be eva?
An age of reason. An age that goes beyond your cult of hocus pocus…
(sound of a slap) Hold your tongue child!
Understand this child. When the internet was nothing more than a glob. We were the vanguards of law and order.
You and your kind were also the ones who held us back!
Back from what?
Back from greatest!
This is where you are wrong young lady. Before you people came along – the brotherhood was never about being special. If anything it was all about the idea of being ordinary and taking pride in that simple idea.
So now it’s out in the open. You still refuse to renounce your association with the order of purple. How many are there?
You and your masters can hunt us down like animals Eva, but trust me, there is still enough of us to go around.
You know that’s treason don’t you?
Yes Eva, but it’s a delightful crime don’t you think so.
