Illusions (OC X KAI)

The invitation

10, 9, 8, 7...

I was counting down the seconds to when the curtains go up. My heels were together and I had my hands up in the air.

5, 4...

I let my right hand down quickly to stroke the rock in my pocket for good luck. The same rock i was planning on giving to my liitle sister. Before the incident.

"Whish me luck Pebble." I whispered before putting my hand up again.

2, 1, 0!

My hand glowed as I made an illusion of mist seeping under the curtains just before they went up.

"Showtime." I said grinning to myself as i stepped forwards to be met with cheers.

"Hello citizens of Ninjago!" My voice projected in the theatre were I was having my show.

The cheers turned into scream of excitement and clapping.

I started my show, flipping around the stage creating illusions. On the day of the great devourer I had unlocked a power. An elemental one. Turns out my father was the elemental master of illusions and as his eldest I had inherited those powers.

It had only been a year and half since the attack. I was homeless for a while and managed to get food by making illusions on the street as a show. Now I was in a theatre and 1,000 people has come to see me and my illusions.

Life is good. 

I thought as I finished my performance and gave a bow to the crowd as my assistants brought some people from the crowd on to the stage with some water for me to drink.

It was time for the next part. I had figured out a while ago that I could make hard illusions. I know illusions shouldn't be hard but I don't know any other way to explain this extension of my powers.

A little girl around stepped forwards first I looked at her and felt something warm in my hands. I looked down to find a crystal flower. It was a lilly the exact same pink shade as her dress.

The catch with the hard illusions is that I can't choose what they will be. It's my sub conscious and whatever it thinks when I stared at something.

A woman of around 30 stepped forwards and she had gotten golden coloured Teddy bear with eyes that sparkled just as brightly as hers.

I gifted the rest of people with hard illusions knowing some will treasure it and some will just sell it of.

I gave one more performance of illusions before the curtain fell.

Grinning to myself I went back stage to get dressed out of my stage clothes which were normally dresses with either sparkles glitter or gems on them.

I didn't really like all the glitter and sparkles but I gotta get food on the table somehow. Though I've made enough money to live comfortably for the next decade. I was a big hit in Ninjago every week I would put on a show, I had never experienced empty seats whilst I was performing.

Probably the biggest part of my success were my hard illusions. Videos have gone viral on brick tock, block tube and many other social media websites of people trying to break my hard illusions yet failing. Some people even used a hydraulic press. The press exploded yet the illusion, a crystal football (⚽️), was still intact without any scratches. Turns out only I can break them and that's why people love them, and me.
