A New Beginning

It was dark the night she escaped from the prison they had locked her away in, but that was one of the advantages of this gift she had been given and one of the curses. Her particular gift gave her many things, including the ability to move objects with her mind. The hospital was in front of her now and she relaxed considerably, she only had a little bit further to go before she would be able to die as the rest of her kin had many hundred years ago.

She whispered a bit of hope to herself, "So magic will not die with me after all." She looked into the light streaming from the doors and her appearance was that of a human adult in her mid thirties but her eyes looked very old and tired. She made her way inside and found the nursery. There must have been more than fifty children in here, an abnormally large number, varying in age from newborn to a few weeks old. There were few that were older but had had health complications, the oldest being about five, though they weren't in the nursery.

She disguised herself as a nurse and began gifting each child with a different gift. Her body began to shine with her dwindling life as she did so, she should have been much younger when she did this but they had tricked her and her husband into becoming prisoners or losing their powers. That is until now, but only because he had died first.

Most of the children would be like her and have the most common gift, telekinesis, some would be able to create fire with their minds, some would have power over ice and water, and some would manipulate the earth. The strength of which they control them differs for each child. As a side effect, once the powers became manifest in sixteen years, the effects of aging would lessen and their lifespans would increase, their muscles would become denser, yet weigh the same, allowing for great feats of strength and speed, their minds would sharpen and the universe would literally bend to their will, but it comes at a serious price.

Your word is your bond or you lose your powers until you redeem yourself. The powers also drain on the physical strength of the user, the stronger the more you can do, and the endurance of the user, they will tire quickly if not careful even if they have the strength to do it.

She finally finished and began her way out of the hospital, many of the children won't live to adulthood and others will reject the powers and abandon them, but for those that embrace it they will all receive a dream when their powers activate during the total solar eclipse in sixteen years. The dream will explain how the powers work and that they must find each other to protect each other from the enemies that exist.

She made it to the edge of the city when the hunters finally caught up to her. They didn't give her a chance to act, they simply shot. She fell down and smiled as death embraced her.
