"Who the hell are you?" Leo was sitting down on a bench as the wind started to get stronger "It was a lovely day as well... y'know my vacation has been horrible." Leo took off his sunglasses, "May I help you?" Leo stared into the eyes of the dicere that stood infront of him.

"Long time no see." The dicere smirked.

"Do I know you?" The trees rustled from the wind and Leo's hair flew freely in the air, "I'm pretty busy, so unless you have anything urgent, I'm just going to kill you." Leo stood up and took off his coat, revealing his hawaiian shirt, "I'm a big fan of beaches."

"Leo, I'm sure you remember me." The dicere got onto her knees, "My names Gloria... the sin of pride."

Leo took a step back and bit his lip, "Huh... after all this time... I thought you were dead." The cold breeze went still. The large concrete walls of the buildings that surrounded the two loomed ominously above them as the sun casted a shadow onto the two, "Sister..."

"Do not call me your sister." Gloria stood up, her long black dress flailing in the wind as she tipped her hat down towards Leo, "I'll be known as your executioner!" Gloria got up close towards Leo, throwing a sucker punch and catching Leo off guard. The punch Leo received created an indent on his cheek, sending him flying towards the bench and breaking it.

"Mother never liked you." Leo got up and dusted his shoulders, "Father never cared." Leo's teeth started to turn into a lion's, "But I always cared."

"Leo back me up!" The walkie talkie in Leo's pocket vibrated, he took it out but Gloria kicked it out of his hand, kicking it to the floor.

"Leo! What's taking you so long? The pure energy this core is exhibiting is easily that of an S4, and its steadily increasing!"

"Just calm down will you? I'm having a bit of trouble myself! Some prick decided to show up!" Leo shouted into the walkie talkie on the ground.

Gloria went over and picked it up, "You don't have to worry. Leo will be all right." Gloria infused the walkie talkie in her hand with wretched magic, causing it to implode.

"You look great sister." Leo said sarcastically as the shirt on him tore apart, his muscles expanding, "I liked this shirt."

"Oh please, you never liked me." Gloria unravelled the large pole she had on her back, revealing a large medieval spear with a sharp metal blade on the end, "Growing up, mom and dad ways had preferences." The two of them started to walk in circles.

"It's not my fault dad chose me!" Leo punched the ground, shaking it violently.

"You could've shared!" Gloria leaped into the sky, away from the ground, "All the fortunes were given to you! I had scraps!" Gloria placed her feet onto the spear, driving it towards Leo.

"I had no choice!" Leo grabbed the spear by the blade, cutting his hand in the process, "You were a disgrace to our family!" Leo grabbed Gloria by the head and crushed her, "I always accepted you!" Leo pulled his punch back, "No matter what you wanted to do!" Leo punched Gloria in the face, knocking her flying towards the wall, "But you decided to cross the line."

Gloria stood up, a giant crater had formed on the wall where she had landed, "Then why didn't you join me?" Gloria placed her hand on her heart, "You'll never know how much it hurt to be ostracised and disgraced for something you could never controll! No matter what I did! I was always painted as the villain! All the troubles and misfortunes thay fell upon you, all of it was my fault!" Her voice echoed through the empty halls of the buildings, her voice sounded broken, as if she has folding back tears, "But you... you were always the hero... you were always there to save the day... from the wicked witch: me."

Leo didn't say a word, he just stood quietly under the sun, his hair covering his eyes.

-----Scene 2-----

29 years ago...

"Gloria Kotoru! Come down now!" A young Gloria walked down the golden stairs, her reflection shined brightly from the gold, "Do you realise what you've done?" Gloria's mother was screaming at her, pointing at a broken vase, "It's always you!"

"But it wasn't me!" Gloria cried.

"No more excuses young woman, you should be ashamed." Her mother went up the stairs and grabbed her by the ear and dragged her downstairs.

"But I swear! It was Leo!" Gloria pleaded with her.

"Don't you dare talk back to me! Ever since you were born, the family has been cursed." The two of them walked downstairs to the basement, walking down the stairs, past the cold, damp and dirty walls, "This'll ought to teach you a lesson!" Her mother was dressed, with jewellery from head while Gloria was dressed in rags and her clothes were torn. Gloria's mother opened up the door at the bottom of the basement and threw Gloria in there, "Reflect on what you've done!" Her mother closed the door shut, blocking all light from entering the room. All Gloria had in there was herself and the cold empty room. A singular candle stood in the corner of the room.

Gloria tucked her head into her knees, crying, "It's always me." she whispered to herself as the tears pooled around her.

Someone knocked on the metal door, ringing through the room.

"Who's there?" Gloria said, trying not to cry.

"Gloria... I'm sorry... its me, Leo" a young Leo said through the gap under the door, "Sorry for what they did to you, I tried telling them they were wrong but they wouldn't listen to me." Leo sat down, his back leaning on the metal door, "Come here, I want to talk to you."

Gloria stood up, wiping her tears and sat down, her back on the other side of the metal door.

"Here, take this." Leo slid a small piece of bread under the gap of the door, "Don't tell anyone okay? Remember, I'll always be there for you." Leo cracked a smile, Gloria could sense Leo was smiling, even without being able to see him, "No matter what they do to you, I'll always love you and I'll always stay by your side." Gloria nibbled at the rock hard bread.

-----Scene 3-----

17 years ago...

"What have you done..." Leo stared at Gloria, as Gloria's hand was stained with blood.

"Leo... you have to believe me... I never wanted this." Gloria had a look of confusement and disbelief.

"How could you..." Leo took a step back away from Gloria as the remnants of the orb fell from her hand, "You're no longer human."
