The Void

Trapped

There's no struggle greater than that of  breathing

***********
Mogan,

I was still feeling lost as swirls of gold,silver and blue colours teased my mind.How I envied those people who went for  what they wanted on their own accord.Well I was long gone into someone else's plans without my consent .Here I was holding a comb which apparently was the key to my freedom.The thing is I did not want freedom at someone else's terms but on my own terms.

I was stuck on this isolated island which was all green and promising.I had not yet tested my powers to know if I still wielded them.Whether I liked it or not,they were a part of me.Well, my life was not in the least bit promising but I hated being somebody's leash dog.I felt so trapped and the only way out would prove that I was really a monster.Somehow,refusing the offer would redeem my evilness.But I wanted out of all this.

Thinking about this fix was suffocating me.On top of it with Poseidon as my master, things would be messy and I had no certainty that he would let me free.

I got up,stashed the comb in my back pocket and decided to have  a stroll round the island.Maybe I would know how to go about this mess of a life I was in.

I walked on as I felt the urge to draw in power? Wait a minute I still had them? I had never thought of manipulating water but I guess its nearness heightened my senses all the more.My blood grew cold as my skin paled.I could still remember her eyes as she had watched me transform.This gave me guilt pangs but still I called out to the elements.I needed to go back so I envisioned my cottage but upon opening my pitchblack eyes  I was still on this forsaken island.

That's when it dawned on me I couldn't get off the island unless my master wanted to.

"Good thinking son!Now be fast and give me an answer." The voice I so detested uttered.

The way he said it made it clear I really had no choice in the matter I was just so trapped.

"I will take your silence as a yes?"He continued as my body was smothered in what felt like a furnace.

All this while I was clenching my teeth in distress as my flesh burnt.The wounds would heal but that didn't lessen the pain.

I could hardly breathe as my mouth went dry.This was pure torture.It was as if every drop of water in me was drying up.

All  the other struggles seemed to be dimmer as I choked and gasped for air.What was the use of the others if I couldn't breathe? It seemed he had ripped me of immortality or something for I could feel life oozing out of me.

That's when  my head on its own volition nodded in submission.How I hated every second it.All I wanted was this pain to just stop.By this time I knew I was dying.Wasn't  it your wish to die? My mind mocked.

Air...breath...life...I needed  them more than ever.When my last bit of strength was fading the flames went out leaving my flesh sizzling.Air seemed to gush in real fast as my lungs were revived.Falling and reeling in pain made me hate and detest.I would play along no matter how my chances of being free seemed minimal.This cage,this trap,this suffocating  hole;I would get him in it somehow.

"Now that its all settled you  will start your scheming come dusk"the  voice said.
I could feel him smirking and how I wished I could break that jaw.

After some silence I knew I was alone.I lay there all desolate and in pain.I would so get back at him even if it would be the end of me but right now I had to comply.
A caged bird  has no say in the matter but wait till the cage  is opened...it's wings guide it to what it craves the most...FREEDOM.
