ONE WOULD THINK, LOOKING AT THE TWINS, THAT DESIRE WOULD BE THE KINDER ONE. BUT OF THE TWO, IT IS DESPAIR THAT IS THE LESSER OF THE TWO EVILS. DESPAIR IS REPUGNANT AND SAD, DESIRE IS THE ONE WITH THE TRUE POWER, THE MANIPULATIVE CONTROL OVER ALL. DESIRE IS SELFISH AND CRUEL. BEAUTIFUL INCREDIBLE IRRESISTABLE DESIRE. IT IS COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY WHAT YOU DESIRE, BEYOND ALL REASON, WHOEVER YOU ARE. YOU CANNOT HELP YOURSELF. IT KNOWS ITS POWER, AND IT USES IT FOR ITS OWN AMUSEMENT, TAKING WHAT IT WANTS, AND DESTROYING WHAT IS LEFT. IT LOOKS AT THE WORLD THROUGH ITS TAWNY EYES, A WORLD IT SEES AS ITS OWN FOR THE TAKING. DESIRE TRIED TO DESTROY ITS BROTHER DREAM, FOR NO REASON OTHER THAN IT AMUSED IT, IT PASSED THE TIME, AND IT SAW DREAM AS ANNOYING AND BOTHERSOME. IT REALIZED, FINALLY, WHEN IT WAS TOO LATE, THAT CAUSING THE DESTRUCTION OF DREAM WAS SOMETHING TO FEAR, BUT TRUE TO ITS NATURE, DESIRE SOON SET ASIDE ITS FEARS AND REVELED IN THE DEATH OF DREAM, AND IN FINDING WAYS TO MANIPULATE THE NEW DREAM.
