"Money" by Kelsey Sophia

I’ll tell you a secrete: us with the money, yeah we don’t want you to have any of it.

Nope. You need to stay right there were you are. Why do you need the money anyways? It’s not going to make you happy. The little millionaires, they want you to think that. They diluted themselves into thinking that if you thought that money was the key to happiness, it somehow will turn into that allusive key. Stupid little millionaires and billionaires. What does Bill Gates know about happiness anyways? He’s not even that wealthy.

I’m wealthy. I have enough riches to make the greediest of men sick with disgust. What’s a couple hundred trillion dollars compared to living in the city of Atlantis? What’s important about the hope diamond when you use Excalibur as a toothpick? I’ve just had so much time to collect it…

I know that money does not equal happiness. But happiness is overrated. What is truly important in this life is revenge.

That’s why we did it. That’s why we took all the money and left you squabbling for our mere crumbs.

Revenge. Revenge and honor. That’s what matters in this world.

You hunted us down. Disturbed our rest. Fought us in the dead of night. Killed our families, our loved ones. For what? For our treasures.

Wealth does not equal happiness!

You were so excited about your treasures that you thought we were gone. You thought we were extinct. You forgot about us, marking us as legends and myth.

Big mistake.

The last of us just waited. Taking back what belonged to us in the first place. Soon there were just the crumbs. And you are fighting each other for them. All the while we pull your strings.

We are not stupid. We want you to kill off your precious knights. For then who will stop us when we make our last stand?

Maybe this time you’ll be the ones counting all the treasures in your horde……
