"We've warned you before, no unauthorised killings, we gave you the benefit of the doubt before but now we have a witness. He saw you command those people to slaughter each other. They were not supposed to die. You killed them with no just cause; it may be our job to judge when one is to die but not without the proper authority's permission." The room was dark only inhabited by three; one was perched on a throne made of bones, skulls surrounding the cloaked figure. The hood of his cloak was preventing him from being identified.

"Sir, with all due respect I did not command them, I was but a bystander. Watching the show unfold; I wasn't a participant, merely a bored man waiting for some entertainment. You cannot possibly believe this, this, this rookie over your most loyal and long serving servant" the creature accused of the crime objected pointing to the smirking man stood beside the superior.

The man sat in his throne pushed himself up standing a foot taller than the enraged creature.

"He may be but a rookie, but he has given me more reason to believe in his word than yours. Since he has been appointed as judger of life and death the amount of unauthorised killings has gone down. However when you started the rate went up to triple it was before. I have been keeping a close eye on both of you and I know he has been following you, stopping the murders you wished to play out. And to quote you, 'merely a bored man waiting for some entertainment.' Correct me if I am wrong but I believed this job was not for our own amusement but to keep the world in balance, to kill those that grow too old. Allowing the new to live and prosper."

The accused backed down slightly, not knowing what to say as his defence. He bowed his head accepting that he had lost and his fate was sealed.

"I'm sorry Sir, please forgive me. Please be lenient"

"No I shalln't be lenient, I have been that on you too much over the years, now you must be fully punished. You are to be stripped of your abilities and to further aggravate you; they are to be given to a human. Though as a token of your long service to me I will let you chose the human. You have an hour, after that I shall chose"

"Thank you" without another word he bowed to his better and sent a glare to the man who had ratted him out. Leaving the room he went off to find a human he deemed as worthy of his gifts.

oooo

Down on Earth in Jump city, there was a rundown street, the houses there falling apart. Doors were hanging off their hinges, paint cracking off, roof slates falling to the ground and bricks cracked breaking off as the wind hit them.

At the end of the street was a house worse than the rest. It was barely holding together and in the cold wind and rain it was a miracle the home wasn't rocking. Inside however it was a different story.

The building was double floored, the floorboards cracked and bowing from the weight of the furniture settled on it. In a small room at the side of the small house was a young girl's bedroom, she sat in her bed knees pulled to her chest eyes buried in her folded arms. She had fled to her room just ten minutes ago before the fight her parents had got any more violent.

Before she had left it had simply been a few slaps from her father to her mother and her. Now though the shaky floorboards were trembling and she feared that they would crack. Maybe even break all together, if that were to happen she doubted she would make it to school tomorrow. Just like so many days before.

Looking up from her knees she looked towards her door her hazel eyes shining in the dark, she had heard stamping feet and hoped that it was the fight ending and that it wasn't her father coming to take his anger out on her. That happened far too much. As the stamping was quietened by the slamming of a door she guessed it was her mum, leaving so he could calm down.

Letting her legs straighten to rid them of the pins and needles that were beginning to form she stretched out. Not bothering to nestle down under her covers, it was a cold night but the cold didn't bother her much. Laying on her bed she closed her eyes letting the tears on her face dry from the breeze that came through the cracked window above the head of her bed.

She was soon asleep, her tired body relaxing as her consciousness left her.

oooo

The punished being was hovering transparent in the air over a dilapidated street. He hadn't put much effort into finding a human worthy of his abilities; he wasn't too thrilled about losing them. But he had been given an opportunity that many weren't given, he was allowed to find the holder of his gifts.

Floating down the street he looked over the houses, none really seeming appealing to him. But then his eyes caught sight of a house that showed two people screaming at the other in the front window on the bottom floor.

"Seems interesting" he mused to himself as he approached the house. Lowering himself to the bottom floor he saw two humans, a man and a woman, they were screaming at the other one looking slightly beat up. Her hair dishevelled and red marks on her cheeks. They didn't seem to be focused on anything but the other the man's eyes were blazing and it looked as though he was holding himself back from punching the woman.

"Uh not these two, far too violent, they would probably anger the old man all the more." As he was about to disregard the couple a shadow on the second floor caught his eye and peeked his curiosity. "Let's see what that was."

Shifting so he could rise to the room's window, he gazed through the tattered curtains. Inside he saw something that surprised him, a young girl was inside, she looked to be no more than fifteen and her cheeks were streamed with tears. She had just moved to lie on her bed stretched out on top of the covers. Her breathing had been slightly jerky as she lay on the bed, a result of the tears she had clearly shed.

Her breaths had quickly evened out and she looked to be far away in the depths of her mind.

"She looks ok, I'm sure he can't find fault in her." Finding the one he wished to bestow with his abilities he ended his search and passed through the walls to her room. Hovering over her bed he placed a bony hand on her head letting it pass through her skull so he could reach into her brain.

His grey eyes began to shine as he passed his gifts on, changing from a pale grey to a dark black, darker than the midnight sky. A pain flashed inside of him as he passed on his powers, and he was sure she would be feeling some pain, if she was awake. It looked as though she was used to pain as she barely even flinched as the abilities were passed from one being to another.

A few moments later it seemed as though the transfer was complete.

"There, now that's done, it's time to go home, see how long my punishment will last." With a small huff he left the room, leaving the human to wake up on her own.

oooo

She couldn't have slept for more than a few minutes when a burning pain in her head started to pull her from sleeps comforting embrace. She fought to stay in blissful unawareness, fighting what she knew was a losing battle. With a dejected sigh she opened her eyes looking around the room. No one was there and it seemed as though nothing could have caused her pain. Pushing herself up she looked to her bedside table eye brows furrowed in confusion. Grabbing a small make-up case her mother had given her to help hide the bruises on her face she flipped it open staring into the small mirror.

She let out a small gasp of surprise, on her forehead was a small jewel, directly over the painful spot; it seemed to be embedded in her skin. Though that wasn't the most surprising thing what was, was that her hazel eyes were shifting, changing colour, changing to an inhuman colour, amethyst.

"What happened to me?"
