Time

Now you might be wondering about the third one. The last one. The one who disappeared. Well, the truth is; I don't know.
All I remember is being filled with hope, being complete, feeling absolutely. . . I don't know . . . well, hopeful. So me and Fate have taken to calling her/him Hope. I don't know if we will ever see Hope again, if it's likely that she/he even exists anymore, but I hope so.
"Time" She doesn't speak as much as put the thought into my mind, but I am formatting this in as human a way as possible.
"What?"
"Phoenix, she has contacted us." There is light in her thoughts, a happiness, a hope that I haven't seen in a while. "She says she thinks that she has finally found Hope!"
"Really?" I can't help it. I find myself hoping too.
"Yes. I think that you should-" I wait a second. Sometimes she has to concentrate on using her powers if the decision that the animal/human is important enough. Sometimes she just likes to concentrate. "-I think that you should contact her."
"How?"
"Well, you could go down and see? Please, Time, it's the only way to be sure."
"Well. . ."
We never gave up on Hope, and we'd always had a suspicion that she is hiding or trapped somewhere on earth, so when Fate first started down the road, around 450 years ago, we put our powers together and created three beings who could help us find her. I didn't tell Fate the real reason, of course. I just told her I thought it was time we tried to find Hope, and, as she had been the one who thought about her the most out of us, she didn't argue.
But this is the first time that we have ever heard anything from Dragon, Serpent or Phoenix. Apart from the update every 50 years, not one of them has ever contacted us before. And they wouldn't dare contact us unless they were sure.
"Time?" Fate grabs my attention again. "You do know that you have been projecting your thoughts into my mind this whole time." She laughs, a sound like a cool breeze on a sweltering day in the middle of the summer.
"Oh." Not again. "Sorry." It's not the first time that's happened. And not the most embarrassing time, either.
"Okay then." I agree.
I can't help but want to go to earth right now, teleport to Phoenix and talk to her this very instant, but I simply start the Maplinution process. The most boring thing in the world. And trust me, I've seen it all.
It's like this; in order to go to earth, I need to go into a form that would be able to be near earth, let alone on the surface, without make it explode. So, I have to go through a painfully long and boring process. I don't know how many human days it takes, but it's at least a week. Long live my extremely small patience. And long live my hope.Fate

Wow. Hope. I can't believe that we might finally find her. . . . . . . .She'll make everything perfect, she'll make everything right again. She'll find a way to save me, to reverse the curse on my powers. And then the whole world will rejoice.It's only been a day and I already miss talking to Time. . . . . . . . I know that it's not easy talking to me . . . . . . . but sometimes talking to him keeps me sane, reminds me of who I am when I'm so lost, when my whole purpose in life is to be other people, to make all the decisions for everyone and everything, . . . . . . . . . . . . all the time. I know that we don't need sleep, but I often envy my dear brother, at least he gets a break.
Talking about breaks, I'm really sorry about this. . . . . . . .Sometimes I can go whole human days without breaks in my thoughts happening, without pausing when I speak, but a massive tsunami just happened in one of my favourite cities in the whole planet, and so much was destroyed, so many people killed. . . . . . . . .I just have to put extra effort into making sure that other people in richer countries help them. I'll be better next time, I promise.39 hours, 16 mins and 27, 28, 29 seconds. That's how long it's been since Time started the process. I've never done it, so I don't know what it feels like, and Time has only ever done it twice before. The first time was to teach humans about time. Like, that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and 365 days in a year. The list goes on and on. The second time wasn't so great. He came down and ended up causing a massive mess, which turned out not to be so bad at the end, but pretending to be God's son wasn't the greatest thing to do, when he was supposed to be 'seeing what humans were like from being one of them, Fate please agree to this, I'll blend in perfectly, I promise. It will be just this once. I won't do it again!' See how that turned out. The only good thing I can say is that he stayed from birth till death. But I can't even say that, really. I mean, coming back to life on earth and showing them that he came back to life? Really? Then he claimed that God had taken him back to heaven. He makes me want to scream sometimes.
I spend a lot of time counting. And making lists. And reading. Anything organized, anything that has a sense of order to it. Because so much of what I do is so completely random. Uncontrollable.
There are a very limited few things that I can't control. One of them is Time. When he is on Earth, I cannot control what he is doing any more than he can control what I'm doing. Any problems he faced down there he had to try and solve by himself, by 'blending in' or whatever he wants to call it.
The other three things are Dragon, Serpent, also known as Sea Serpent, and Phoenix. They are impossible to control. Literally.
It probably has to do with the fact that Time created them. He never did like doing what he was told.
I'm sorry if this offends you, but I am finding this incredibly funny. Having to use human expressions, I mean. Like genders. How narrow-minded and simple and limited you are. You all have to choose from what, 5? Has it widened to 5 or 6 now? I almost wanted to cry when people had to choose between just two. As if it even matters anyway. Who you are is who you are and there would be so much less fighting in this world if you guys just accepted each other.
And relationships. I may have been blessed with extraordinarily high intelligence, but still. You guys all seem to think that there are just things like hate, dislike, frenemy, friend, true love and family and sibling love. Just the fact that you have time to name them all means that you don't have enough.
Don't even get me started on you naming things.
I'm going to stop now, before I offend you too much. I just kinda wanted you to know.
