How Mutants Came To Be
In the Beginning
Long ago, their was a man by the name Aziz. He possessed unusual powers and talents. He considered himself the most powerful of all men, which was a coincidence considering his name did mean 'The All-Powerful.'
He lived on a mountain side alone with his five children, who all had strange powers of their own.
The eldest was a boy by the name of Blaze. He had the power to control fire. The second oldest was a girl by the name Brook and she could control water. The middle child was a boy who was called Gust and he could control the wind. The second youngest was another boy by the name Flash. He could control light. And the youngest was a girl by the name Flora. She could control plants and the Earth.
All five children were forbidden to leave their home on the mountain, because Aziz feared the treatment that would befall his children, should anyone discover their powers. He never told them why they were forbidden to leave the mountain, and they never questioned his rules.
Everyday their father would have them train and exercise so they had full control over their powers and would never lose their control.
One sunny day, Aziz decided to take his children down to a nearby village, so they could have a change of scenery from the usual valleys and mountain cliffs. Once in the village, Aziz informed his children that he had to go get some things, and reminded his children to behave ands he would come get them when he was done with his errands.
They wandered around the village for a while, curious about it.
"Why do you think father never let us come down here before?" Asked Flora.
Gust shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe it's because he never liked their lifestyle?"
Brook nodded. "It is possible..."
Flash turned to his older brother. "What do you think, Blaze?"
Blaze thought for a minute, but came up with nothing. "I have no idea, but whatever the reason, it must have been big if we were never allowed to come here before..."
He trailed off as a scream came from further in the village. The five siblings looked at each other before running off in the direction of the cries. Soon in the sky, black smoke filled the air. Soon following that, they saw a nearby home caught on fire.
Without thinking, the flames got smaller and smaller, as Blaze put the fire out. In a few minutes, nothing was left put a half destroyed house and a cloud of smoke.
Villagers looked from to the other, completely confused. "What just happened?" Shouted one person.
"The fire put itself out!" Another stated in a confused manor.
Soon one person let out a dreadful cry. "Witches are among us!"
Blaze was about to speak up, but he felt a strong hand grip his shoulder. He spun around to see Aziz standing behind him. "Come. We're going home." He muttered.
The five siblings nodded and followed him quietly as he led them away from the village and back to their home on the mountain.
Once home, Aziz had them all sit at the table around him. "The villagers don't have powers of their own." He explained. "That is why they were confused when you put the fire out Blaze." He looked at his son sternly. "And that is why you have never been allowed to leave the mountain. I knew you would all face terrible lives if they ever found out about your... gifts." He smiled. "Most would probably fear you, and the others would hate you... most likely want to dispose of you."
"What?" Flora stood up angrily. "Just because of our powers?"
Gust was on his feet too. "We can't help the way we are!" He fumed.
"SIT DOWN!" Aziz bellowed. Both children sat down without a word. Aziz inhaled deeply before continuing in a much calmer manner. "I know. You were born with your powers and you can't help the way you are, but the villagers... they don't know any better. That is why you must promise me to never use your powers out in public like that again. Do I have your word?" He turned to Blaze and he nodded. He turned to Brook. "Promise?" She nodded. He turned to Flash. "Do I have your word?" Flash mumbled his consent at the same time as Flora. Blaze looked at Gust. "Do you promise?" Gust nodded.
Aziz smiled at his children. "Now that I have told you and you promise to never exercise your powers in front of others, you are free to go down to the village whenever you desire. Just don't go alone, and let me know when you are visiting the village."
With this new freedom the siblings cheered and thanked their father.
