Powerless

That it what I have always felt especially when you are born into a doomed world. My people had already given up hope I had nothing to give, at one moment I started to give up aswell before I received the gift I already had powers but they were not strong enough for me.

I had just fallen in battle, my body bleeding and many bones were broken I lifted my head to see more of the fire creatures come to destroy me I couldn't do anything.

I didn't want to.

I have tried to bring to this dead world but always failed my heroics only brought pain and death to those around me I couldn't save them alone but nobody had even bothered to help they all just acceped themselves as slaves doomed to die. So why should I be any different? I was told them that if we went looking we can find a way to defeat them, to save ourselves and to at the very least: Try.

None of them heard my pleas and that was merely months ago, but I never hated them, no not at all, their misery only strengthen my resolve to kill the monstrocity and that itself led me here battered, bruised and bleeding to death while these hell hounds prepare to feast on me. I closed my eyes apoligizing to everyone I knew and failed.

But just as I began to embrace death's grip I felt a light shine on my face and when there was no pain I opened my eyes to pure white figure in front of me her voice was calm and smooth while also stern and authouritive

"You are about to die"

When she said I just layed on my back feeling the same emotions I felt before

"But I can give you the power to change the world to your image and be at peace"

As soon as she finished I looked up at her in surprise. Can she really do this?

"To do this I will need to tell my conditions"

I sat up ignoring the intense pain in my body "I accept"

She stood still for a moment tilting her head curiously "I have not told what I want in return"

"I don't care as long as I'm able to bring peace then I will agree to whatever you want, just give me power"

The figure then reached her hand towards me "If you're that desperate then fine, but know that if you decline in the succes of your task I will kill you"

I looked at her in shock then recomposed myself and nodded to her, grasping her hand in a handshake. Then I went blind with a bright light.

Third person POV

The alley was filled with a flash of bright light as the lava hounds backed away, the light disappered as suddenly as it appeared.

In it was a mobian wearing knight teal armor gauntlets, boots and a chest piece with shoulder plates offering him protection, the helmet he was was teal color, there was one bird wing at both of its sides, the mouth was covered by a face plate and there was a horizontal slit allowing the wearer to see through (for a better idea on the helmet look up Skyrim steel plate helmet)

The figure looked at his hands and body inspecting himself "Well this is interesting" he turned to the lava dogs who were growling at him "Now lets see what this gift can do" he threw his hand forward and projected a teal boulder construct that impacted one of the three mutts.

The figure looked down at his hands "Wow wasn't expecting that, hmm I wonder..." the figure reached out his hand and summoned a double-edged sword construct "Oh I can get used to this" he then started running towards the pair of mutts and brought the sword down on them, but the hounds were quick and moved out of the way before he struck.

It seems the figure expected this and dashed to the one on his left and impaled his sword at its side, the dog fell with 'thump' and turned to ash.

The third and last lava houndwas to afraid after seeing its friends die so it ran but the figure caught glimspe of this and followed the dog out the alleyway, the figure tried to chase it down on foot but the lava hound was simply too fast, thinking fast he planted his feet firmly on the ground, pulled his right hand back as if he was going to throw something and summoned a spear construct.

He used his left hand to help him aim at the fleeing dog "Take this message to your master" the figure threw the spear at the lava hound which impaled it to a nearby building the hound turning to ash and the construct disappearing.

The figure, once again, inspected his body "Man this is incredible, whatever she did to me has enhanced my powers I feel unstoppable" an aura surrounded his body and he started to float but he didn't seem concern "Ha I can still fly so nothing knew there" as he continued to ascend he inspected the apocalyptic appearance of his world the once beautiful freedom city had buildings either burned or completely unstable fire could be seen for miles

The figure clenched his fists "I know what I'll do with this power, I'll use it to destroy the monster that has destroyed my world and from the ashes I'll build a better one where everyone is free where no one will ever be afraid. I will save my world I will become: Axios!"

Axios landed on rooftop and looked up at the darkened sky "Whoever you were whether you were god or some other ghost I thank you for my gift" he looked at the city a look of determination behind his helmet "I will bring freedom and prosperity"

And so throughout 8 years he done just that, defeated the evil in his world and repaired his world as best he could from using constructs to build new houses for everyone.

But then he started thinking bigger by using all his knowledge and available resources in the span of 2 more years had managed to end cancer, the people were not only grateful but they worshiped him as their hero, eventually involving himself as a member of his world's council. Even with these acomplishments he invested more time than ever to completely stop all crime and anything he deemed evil.

And thats what he did he created a military task force that sent to every city that would permit it, any criminal that they captured would be inmediatly court martialed by Axios himself. He never had subordinates sector that his military was stationed at always reported back to him to avoid conflict in the countries. No one ever questioned his identity and when somebody did Axios simply said "I cannot reveal my identity but if you cannot trust then the people can decide to vote me out"

Now in the present Axios was organizing some medical reports in his vice-presidential office *sighs* "You think by doing all this I would be organizing my troops instead of paperwork"

Sudenly time seemed to stop excpet for Axios as a flash of light appeared before him in the light was a figure Axios gasped it was the person from 11 years ago

"I see you did not waste anytime with the gift" she chuckled

Axios stepped out of his chair and walked towards her "It's you...what is that you want? Its been a decade since I last saw you"

She simply stared at him for awhile until she spoke with a serious tone "I have to collect your end of the bargain from our deal"

Axios hung his head he knew this day would come but after not seeing her 11years he he was safe "Ok" he straightend up "Whta do you want me to do?"

She smirked in her light "I figured since you did so well with healing this world I was wondering if you could help an acolyte of mine with his"

Axios looked at her with a half shocked look behind his mask "But what if something happens here and I'm noyt here to stop it"

Aurura merely gave a small laugh "If it matters that much to you than I could return you to the exact we left as if you were never gone" Axios sent her a skeptical look "Can you really do that?"

"I can do virtually anything"

Axios looked at her "Is this other world really in peril?" Aurura looked like she smirked "If by 'peril' you mean ravaged by dangerous demons bent on killing everything and people suffering? Then yes"

Axios turned to look out his window staring off in deep thought 'Is what she saying true? even so whether I want to or not I do owe her plus who knows what will happen I'm already powerful like this if I had help like she says then maybe...'

Axios turned his full attention to Aurura

"I'll go"
