Write a story about involving a woman with a copper halo who is prophesized to bring destruction or salvation upon the world. She wields a red sword that is said to rob it victims of their blood and add their life force to her own. Consider how the world may react a such a prophecy. Many would seek to kill her before she grows into her full power, others would seek to capture her and use her for their own nefarious gains. Few might even view her as a being sent from the heavens to enact judgement upon the world. These people may seek to protect and appease her hoping that she may see that good still remain in the hearts of men. Consider if the truly believe this or are they simply trying to escape judgement?
What if she were kept away from the population and raised in secret? What if she was kept by the government and held in captivity where she would be sedated and studied? What if she grew up in a normal family until the day her powers awakened taking many lives in the process? How does the world initially react to the prophecy? Are there religious factions, cults, or organizations that venerate or fear her? How do they influence public opinion? What is the significance of the red sword she wields? How does it interact with her powers, and what are the limits or consequences of using it?
Is she the main character of this tale or does the story take the point of view of another who comes into contact with her? By all intentions and purposes is she a normal person or is it obvious that she is something masquerading as human? How does she communicate with the world around her? Is she capable of human speech, or does she rely on alternative means of expression, such as telepathy or a unique form of sign language? How does the woman with the copper halo feel about her role in the prophecy? Is she aware of the weight of her destiny, or is she struggling to understand and control her powers?
Is magic a normal occurrence in this world or is it something a few or no people have? Is there a caste system separating the haves and have nots? Are there others who are like her with their own agenda and goals or is she unique phenomenon?
(Prompt Inspired by Yogen no Nayuta by Fujimoto Tatsuki)
1.) "You scared the birds away."
2.) "I know what my purpose is. If you're worried if I'm thinking about destroying you all, be at ease. I haven't made up my mind yet."
3.) "Humans are strange. You know death comes and yet, you fear it. You cling to life and yet you still fear it."
4.) "You don't fear me. You fear the unknown."
5.) "I saved you. I didn't have too. I don't know if you can understand me, but it doesn't matter. You owe me."
6.) "She's gonna kill us all."
"You say that as if it's a bad thing. As if we don't deserve it."
7.) "Just play along. Please."
8.) "Why did you pick me? Out of all the people in the crowd, why me?"
