Dustmaker Aftermath

Prologue

Dustmaker's Pov...

I had woken up panting heavily, as I grip my scarf. I wasn't going to take it off, no matter how uncomfortable it made me. I needed it to keep me in check, and stop Moon from finding out my secret.

I woke up fully, realising I was in my mother's arms. I didn't want to leave, so I didn't move. She seemed to notice I was awake, and tried to pull out of the snuggle we were in, but I didn't want to, so, I used blue magic to make her move deeper into the hug.

She seemed confused, especially by the blue aura that surrounded her. She looked down at me. "Darkstalker gave me powers before he turned himself into me, as a safety procedure." I told her.

"Oh. What powers do you have?" She asked shocked. "Most of them are too dangerous to demonstrate here, and describing them brings up... unpleasant thoughts." I said. She seemed confused by this.

"All of them?" She asks me. "All of them, used in the right way could kill someone. I don't like killing. I don't want to hurt people." I tell her, tears threatening to fall from my eyes.

"I know that much. No matter what you know Peacemaker, you wouldn't harm someone." She said. "But I would. If I saw a reason to, I'd kill everyone, and wouldn't stop, and that scares me." I tell her as I sob.

She looks confused , but hugs me tighter. "Then I'll make sure you never find that reason." She says. I was happy she'd go that far for me.

"So, are you willing to talk?" She asks. I know she phrased it that way because of what I said before. "A little, I should explain the source of my power, and why I'd kill you all..."
