The Mysterious Others

"Father says"

Picture of Kendric
Areia’s POV
     I was in my hut only a few down from father’s when I first heard the shouting. I grabbed my sword from beside me and rushed out of my hut to see what the ruckus was about. I entered father’s hut only to find him sitting calmly in a chair with a grin on his face as he gave me the signal that he was okay. I nodded but before I left the hut I took a nice long glare at the beauty standing there panicking about what she had just found out. For as many times as I can remember father has done this, this one was the most important. This one was personal, Im not sure how I just know that she is valuable to him in someway.

    I grow up here in Kaladosia, it’s a  tiny village full of people different from the rest of the world. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if I hadn't been born here but somewhere else like Moscow or the Greenlands. The people here are wonderful but I wish I could just be normal, but instead I'm the chiefs daughter, a goddesses in mosts eyes here in Kaladosia.  My powers are supposedly unique as I can control the minds of others. I don’t see it as all that great but my father praises my power, he says I should imbraise it not shut it out. I dont want to be that weird kid that can control what you think or what you see. I can control your five senses. But most of the time I choose not to use my powers cause I want people to be able to trust me. How could anyone ever trust me If they think Im always using my powers on them?
I was eleven when I found out I was gay. I didnt tell my father until I was fifteen. He was suprisingly calm when I told him though he wasnt to proud of my choice. He always talked about how he would so proudly appriciate my childs gifts but I would never wish any such thing on a child let alone any of my own.
