Power Without Strength {Discontinued/Rewritten}

Something is not right.

Something is not right at all.

This soul, it is rather... different.

Yes... Much smaller...

Yes... and dimmer.

Her iko, it is not even half the size of the average soul.

Although her power is vast, which is quite unusual.

I will not allow of this. I will take this soul for its first few years of being.

Are you sure? Her life will be far from normal if you do so.

Then I will watch over this one with great caution. Danger already draws towards her, her future is obscure and perilous. My place and part in this one's life is a great one.

Then it is settled; she is yours. But be aware of your position, Goddess.

I am aware. Let the end of the war of fault and sin commence.

"Hey Mommy! Look what I made!" I yelled as I took off running with my finished necklace.

Mother had looked up from her computer to see what I had made. Her eyes shined with pride.

"Good job, Zeera. At this rate, you could make your own jewelry store. You know, you could make lots of money by selling your necklaces."

"Wow, really? I can do that?" I asked in awe as I looked up at her in with bright, dark eyes.

"Yes, of course. You must think of opportunities you can use to get by in your life, but be aware of the things that could bring you down. Evil beings lie dormant wherever you go, Zeera. Do you know some of those people?" She asks.

"Um... demons I think? I dunno." I guess, dipping my brows.

"Yes, there are demons, good job. But there are others too, like the madhara and okubies."

"The madra and the what?" I asked, looking at her hopelessly lost. She gave a light laugh and picked me up.

"All in good time, you will learn, my cub. All in good time."

Then

"No Mama! Please, I don't want to go! Please don't leave me!" I cried to her as I hugged her legs at tight as I could.

"I'm sorry, Zeera, but the time has come. Once you're with your new family, and start going to school, you'll meet all kinds of people and make wonderful relationships. I'll still watch over you, that is a promise. Goodbye my daughter, I love you." She said, looking at me with eyes of tears.

My grip loosened as the vortex's suction became stronger. I lost my hold and was vacuumed into the coiling abyss. I screamed in despair as I heard voices of shock and worry. My mind then became a light switch, cutting off all ties of my consciousness to the world.

Last

I cried in pain as I felt the hard earth come in contact with the side of my body. I looked up with eyes full of hate and fear as I waited in angst for what my faithful and devoted torturer had in store for me today.

"Well runt, ready to come and play with us? I have a new game we could try in the lake."

I tried to keep up the pattern of abuse Taabu plans for me; some of the time, she'll trap me in a motion-detecting dome and throw pine cones at me to see how long I can last through the pain. Every time I move even a centiroot, a shock of lightning will zap at me. Other times she'll come up with newer, more painful ways of abuse, and make it all seem like it was my fault that I got hurt. When she didn't plan enough beforehand, she always sticks with the old strapping me to a tree and slingshot rocks at every part of my body.
