Let me give you some backround. My name is Dean, or it was before everything happened almost two years ago, when I was 17 years old. My parents died in the first strike of "the start" and the only family I had left is my little sister Jasmine who was 13 and my best friend Colton who was 18. His dad he never knew and mom died in the after math two months after "the start". I was fairly tall, black hair and green eyes, nothing too special. I had never been social and never big on trust. The only people I had trusted in years was Colton and Jasmine.
The way you get these abilities is that you must be the first person to touch a piece of the orb. Nobody really understands why this Is the way it is, but we can't question it. When I found my piece, I had already heard of what happens to people, but I had also heard that the peices were like mercury, almost mirror like and the rock that I picked up did not have this same Color so how was I supposed to know what I was getting myself into? It was purple and green and blue and just beautiful. I had never seen anything like it. But the instant I held the rock in the palm of my hand I felt it, almost like a vibration in my entire body. I could feel myself changing and before I knew it my feet were no longer touching the ground. I couldn't see but my eyes were open. I was later told by Colton who was with me that my eyes were glowing red, and there was a purple and green almost glowing fog circling around me. And then it happened, my mouth shot open and my hands stretched out, the rock that had been in my hand flew out and exploded into color, and that color flew into my my mouth and lungs like smoke. I couldn't breath, I felt it flowing through my body and my heart was beating so fast and the next thing I knew was darkness.
I woke up on the ground, not completely sure what had happened. Coltons jacket under my head and Colton kneeled next to me. He helped me up slowly and the look in his eyes told me that something big had happened. He helped me to our home.
Our home was an old doctors office that had been abandoned soon after everything went down. This was good because we had plenty of medical supplies, but the only food we had is what we could salvage and hunt with Colton's bow. But we managed and had enough for us. We did have weapons, most were makeshift clubs and such. But I had a special weapon like Colton had his bow. I had a sword that I had been given to by a sword Smith that had a small shop in California called "migi no tsubasa" a year before "the start." . It was my favorite thing in the world and I never left without it.
When we got home he set me down on the bed, took off the sword hangind on my back, and went get me water. I heard Jasmine ask him where I was and he said that I was in here but that she couldn't see me right now. I thought to myself why can't she see me? What's wrong with me? So I used a nearby chair to help me up and made my way to the mirror across the room. When I eventually made it over and looked I was shocked to see what was staring back. My black hair was now a shimmering purple with green strips, my tan skin was shinnier and almost brighter. But the thing that really cought my attention was my eyes, they were a deep dark purple with green specks everywhere. But the colors were almost moving, swirling around like a galaxy in each eye. I started to get dizzy so I made my way back to the bed and it felt like the instant my head hit my makeshift backpack pillow I fell asleep.
