The Devil's Trait

Fear embodies itself within the unknown. Six-thousand years ago this statement was even more prevalent in common life. Every child is born with a trait special to them, and the few that were especially unique had the tendency to baffle humanity. When a child tries to explain to their parents of imaginary friends with descriptions unlike the average human bordering along grotesque creatures to forest animals with the wrong features, a parent is likely to be surprised. If these sightings increasingly continue, a parent is likely to become worried. And if, above all else, the child is taken to a head council, or Priest, and they determine that the child is sickingly ill, or even worse, carrying some dark trait for witchcraft, the child is put on trial and found guilty of possessing the Devil's Trait. Rare cases such as these had an alarming chance of occuring in towns surrounded by wooded areas, or along coasts of watery scenes. In the 1400s, these cases were even more common, and even more feared. But what if cases like these truly had nothing to do with a demonic being leaving their mark upon an infant, and were simply a gifted trait through which one could interact with the beings belonging to a world unlike our own? How about I ask a more prevalent question: Just what happens when one fully uses the trait and proceeds into the other world?
