hubris.

it will always be your greatest strength.

your grandparents fought in the war, and every time you see them they bring their great stories. they tell you of their times as peacekeepers, of their fighting and their loss. they tell you of the friends they lost, and the friends they fought for. but most importantly, they told you of the glory. in nostalgic, wistful tones they reminisce about marching through the bombed streets of districts far away they had reclaimed for the capitol, of fighting anyone who dared come across them.

they tell you of the sweet flavors of victory, of what conquest brings. and you listen and bring your newfound desires each day to the training center. you know that your better than others who seek glory. your grandparents and parents instilled that in you. they remind you every day that you carry the legacy of fighters, of conquerors, and that you must carry yourself as such. you know that it keeps your vision clear, that you will pave the way to greatness once again for your family just as your grandparents once did.

and so you use the insights given to you to thrash your opponents in combat, to stand above them. you bounce through relationships once you realize that you are better than whoever your with, friendships and romanticisms alike. you know that you will always stand above the rest, above others, and that this is what will lead you to future greatness.
