Exploding Power


I am all alone and so very scared. No one here knows the real me; I do not know a single being either. The shocking shaking of the sodden earth ripped my world apart. All of my people are gone because of the great world-tremble. Why I survived and my people didn’t I will never know. I had to travel far away over the strong, stormy, strange sea. In this new land, they know of me. They know my power but it’s gone. Without my family, I have nothing. Without my birth-land, I am lost. I miss my life, that life of normal, daily things. My mother is gone, that lovely lady who raised me. My father is dead, that majestic man who taught me. My sister is departed, that gifted girl who helped control my power. My power is fading because my family is gone. I seemed to be finally in control, but no more. I need love to help others with my gift. I brought the world-tremble upon us with my anger. I deserve to be alone because the death-bringing was my fault. I became irritated and the land crumbled. I miss those amazing trees and the beautiful hills. Now I am alone, no one to help me with my power. The world was not safe when I had a help-giver, what will happen without one? My life is dangerous and I don’t know how I can fit in with these people. What happens when I become close-strangers with these people? I can’t explode this land too and do this all over again.
