Without the villain there is no hero
The hero stood there covered in the blood of his enemy, hands shaking from the shock of all the deaths trailing behind him. Very slowly he moved closer to the body and pulled off the mask. Gasping he fell back and his hand landed on a sheet of paper. It was a letter the villain had been writing in her last few minutes alive. With shaking hands and teared up eyes, the hero began to read:

Dear hero,

You are my mortal enemy, the one who shall, or rather, already has, delivered the final blow. But for once, will you be my friend as I have no one else to share this with? It is my dearest hope that you do not let your emotions get away with you after reading this letter. In fact it is better that you do not read it, so I think I will hide it away before you get here and I die. If you are reading this, I beg you, either stop, or remember that I chose this. Please don't react the way you did with Alyssa. She deserved it, I do not.

The villains and heros are picked out at an early age in this world. There is one thing that makes them stand out, personalities. The heros are kinder, more loving, hopeful, and at peace with themselves and the people around them. The villains are rude, sharp, discouraged, misfits. They don't really belong anywhere and worry mostly about protecting their own selves instead of others. But it isn't that they are selfish, in fact they don't know how to be selfish. These people are mostly just misunderstood, and tend to care more for others than the heros. It's because they care that they become the villain.

Every hero is born with a curse. You are born with that curse. Have you not felt your body weakening? Have you not felt sick lately, even though the hero isn't supposed to be sick? That's the curse. I suppose the proper term forit is loyalty to the Earth and society in general. You feel you must serve justice or something like that. It becomes a craving therefore the curse like feeling. It isn't a real curse, just something that seems to fester in the hero's body. Once you kill the villain, the curse will go away. Maybe you know all this already, but that's all I know about it. I wish I knew why there is a curse, why we have to fight, why you were chosen.

I used to like you. Now I'm not allowed to like...
