MAYA
It's early in the morning, when I decided to go for a walk. In one of the beautiful cities, lies Everen. Everen is a very rich city mostly surrounded of water. We are a very diverse community and also one of the most populated parts of the city. Everen is made up of rich bloodlines called the scion. I always imagined what other cities looked like compared to mine. I never grew up poor. I was one of the lucky ones some would say.
Just in a matter of seconds, my good morning goes to crap. As I am passing by an open flea market, I can hear a loud shriek from the old women that I assume was in trouble.
"Somebody help!" The lady yells uncontrollably at no one in particular. "He took my aureus! Please get him!"
My attention shifts towards the direction the lady is pointing at. I notice someone running off in the distance with a black duffel bag. As dumb as I am, I began to chase after the anonymous Inborn. I take off in a full sprint towards his direction. I am in a very compacted part of the store, so it takes me awhile to get to the open part of the city. Once I'm in the open, I am able to sprint as fast as I can. Once my eyes focus where the boy went, I am once again on his trail.
"Stop!" I yell from afar. He obviously isn't going to, but it was definitely worth it.
The boy swings his head quickly at me, and I can make out his characteristics. The boy has caramel skin, with light brown eyes. He is wearing a black tight hooded sweatshirt, with black jean shorts. It is very hard to make out exactly everything, but as of now, the basics will do.
I shout again for the boy to stop. Like before he keeps on running, but only this time he takes off faster than before. This kid is fast. I know there is no way that I am going to be able to catch him in a foot race. I am only left with only one option. I must use my Terra. I never thought that I would ever have to use my abilities. Especially on a Inborn. However, this seems like the right time to use them. I try to convince myself to stop, but I can't. I can't just let this fugitive take someone's hard earned aureus.
Aureus is what we call cash. We use this currency passed down to us from ancient times. It means gold, and has so much value only the scion Inborn's seem to have enough to buy luxuries items and goods. The Inborn will not take this money he didn't earn. I won't allow it.
I haven't used my ability very much, ever since I developed them, two years ago. The only time I ever use them, is when I am training with my persona, and I really haven't had the time to even do that. I don't really know much on how to use my ability, so I use a very basic variation I learned in training. I concentrate hard on what I want and call beneath the depths of the earth. I feel the heavy vibrations beneath me, my skin crawling, as the force becomes strong. Just like that, baseball sized rocks form in my hand ready to toss at the boy. They spin in a juggling fashion. I toss a few rocks at the boy as hard as I can. Of course I miss every one I threw.
Damn I really need to get back to training. I can't help but laugh at my unsuccessful attempt to use my abilities.
"Wow is that all you got," the boy sneers. "That was pathetic!"
This infuriates me very quickly. I noticed that the boy and I have came to a complete stop in a alley way. Facing eye to eye for the very first time. In my hand, holds about three rocks in total spinning at a very high rate levitating above the palm of my hand. I waste no time. I chuck all three rocks at the boy at once in brute force as hard as I can. The boy reacts very quickly. He puts up one hand, and the rate I threw the rocks suddenly begin to move very slowly. The rocks float in midair, and the boy smiles at me. I notice the rocks are still coming at him, but they can be easily avoided. I stand there stunned, amazed at what I am seeing.
