The Ruins

Taytu knew what she could do with the immense power she possessed. She was well aware that she had something unique, that she was quite different from others. Everyone wanted her abilities, for she had been on this path before. If they put their hands on her power, however, no one had the grasp of reality how to handle it. So far, nobody had the grits to take it from her. She knew that if they ever tried it though, hell will break loose, and she’d do so much damage before she could relinquish it unwillingly, although she never had any intentions of harming a single breathing soul. She just wanted being left alone. Having such kind of dangerous power is a burden, and for others to envy it could not do any good.

She isolated herself as far as she could go. She was being granted her wish for a while until one day, she stood on a chair, a rope tied around her neck. She was condemned and placed in the pits of darkness. On the day of her sentencing, she didn’t know how she got there, but she didn’t want to unleash her power and then harm innocent people. But, she faced a big predicament of saving herself and others. She though, at the end of the day, every hero should be for himself . To her defense, she had urged the town people not to push her to the edges, so that day, hell indeed did break loose, which only left ruins.

The strangers surrounded her and chanted, screaming at her being. As she tried freeing herself without unleashing her power, her rage took over, and a streak of lighting flared from her green eyes; and then her fingers emitted fibers of bolted thunder lights. She released coated fireballs from her hands into the crowds. The crowd panicked, because they didn’t know what to do with her. They knew they could not control the green light flashing from her eyes, so they began running away. She screamed and let out fire from her euphoric eyes,blasting anything that stood on her way. After the blast, everything turned to dust, and the city submerged in chaos she did not want to cause.

Suddenly, the sky went blank, darkness swirling around and roaming in the green sky.
