WELCOME FOLKS! TAKE A SEAT! ☆
AU Idea time! {This au takes place in the Same universe as Sage of truth, i will be making the other Virtues and giving them names.}
So the Au Explains my Version of what causes Truthless to corrupt along with his friends. {NOT THE CANNON VERSION IF THERE IS ONE, JUST THOUGHT IT BE COOL!}
So it started off when the Ancients were all kids {Yes since Sage never corrupted he was alive and well at this point, And as much as i ship Truthless-Sage, they Dont meet until Truthless is a fully grown adult and is out of School, He never really met Sage at school since i believe Sage was the Head of all the Schools as he was the founder of all knowledge, and He Didn't really work there himself, though he does later on}
White Lily and Pure Vanilla Get into an argument about the witches banquet qnd White lily using Magic that they haven't learnt yet, saying her Search for truth was getting to her head. She ignores His warning and about a few days later, while the Ancients are all studying, she starts going on about what she discovered. She tries a spell that could supposedly give her the Power to go off on her own and do her journey of Truth, but Fails drastically. Instead she gets visions of thr Banquet, and some of the spell even blasts into her. Her body turns into the half and Half or her and dark Enchantress like we see in Chapter 11-12 with Silent salt.
Pure Vanilla instinctively tries to Save her and gets both of his hands, the left side of his face and the keft side of his neck burnt in the process. In the End, White lily didn't make it.
Pure Vanilla was told she'd be okay, now knowing that was a lie he begins to hate the truth, Hating that it corrypted his Best friends and getting her killed. Dark Cacao, Golden Cheese and Hollyberry try to help, but Pure Vanilla pushes them away in grief, Causing them to leave.
Dark Cacao succumbs to Apathy after Pure Vanilla's rejection. What the point in caring when they push you away? Golden Cheese Becomes angry at everyone, for splitting up, for loosing someone she cared about deeply. She destroys anything that reminds her of her past, and hoards the stuff she cares about in fear of loosing it again, and that leads her to succumb to Destruction. Hollyberry, Now lost all her friends, Looses herself to berry juice. She louges around all day, never having the motivation to do anything. At last, she succumbs to Sloth.
Pure Vanilla watches this all happen, not literally, but he hears about it from passersby. The guilt and grief swell as he is overcome with emotion, loosing everything because he didn't protect the one he loved. It isnt his fault, he was a kid, but he cant see that. The truth was too much to handle, so he lied to protect himself, and Truthless was born.
As for White lily, she became a ghost. She grieved about the life she coukd of had if she was just patient, if she wasn't a dumb kid. She blamrd herself for what happened to her friends, feeling as if what she had done was a crime against the witches. But atlas, she could not tell them she was sprry, she could not longer give them the support and comfort they craved. Only silenece remained...
As for the Virtues, their Mentals states are down in the Negatives. Cookiekind hadn't gotten any better it seemed, though Sage had become a people pleaser to avoid any rejection or anger frok the cookies who asked for his knowledge. He tried to br friends with the other virtuee, but his voice was drowned out by complaints, Stories about their lives, and more rules he was forced to live by.
Sage was rhis picture perfect Scholar. Aced every quiz, top marks, academically gifted, polite and Courteous. Though he had so much fame and attention, he was lonely, deeply and terribly lonely. Every mistake was an arrow in his heart, he apologised for any minor mistake, said sorry even when it wasnt his fault, total push over.
Until The Hermit on the peak of truth bumped into him
