Profectus | PROMPT CONTEST [CLOSED]

💖Round 3 [COMPLETED]💖

PROMPT

Maria has waited 18 years of her life for her magic to be awakened. All of her peers had; it was a tradition. And that day, she was going to discover her magic.

All of her peers had predictions of what their magic would be. They would often inherit some or multiple different types of the magic their parents had. But for Maria, who grew up in an orphanage and whose parents were complete mysteries, the possibilities were endless. And she was ecstatic.

She and her classmates lined up, most of them discussing their predictions, and others describing the process of magic awakening. Maria overheard that their parents had experienced a jolt of energy, and the magic left them involuntarily. That's why, they said, the class always has to stand back, otherwise they could get injured.

The line began winding down, and Maria watched her classmates, one after the other, use their magic for the first time. Some had forcefields, others had lightning bolts, and many were the same as their peers' magic. Maria wondered for a fleeting moment if her magic would be unique.

After what could have been hours in her mind, Maria's turn had arrived. The teachers gathered around her, still keeping a reasonable distance, and suddenly, she felt like she would explode with power.

In an instant, Maria blacked out. As her vision gradually returned, she froze in shock.
