Well, here it is. My first story; on this website anyway.
Well, I guess you could say this started when I was born. I was born into a poor family that lived in a village in the area of what is now the country of Greece, several thousand years ago. It was a simple, not necessarily extravagant life back then. My family wasn't born in a time or area where those that were "unusual" were prosecuted, so we lived peacefully, I suppose. Well as peacefully as a family of "super-powered" beings could. You see, my siblings and I were all born with certain unnatural characteristics. For example, some of us could shape shift, or levitate. I was however, always the odd one out. My power didn't make its appearance until after my 21st summer, or as you would call it, birthday. After that summer, we all seemed to notice that I had stopped aging. This drove a wedge between my family and I, because it seemed I would truly live forever. Soon after the fact I had stopped aging, I was cast out of my family.
As you obviously know, I didn't die. I travelled the world. As I travelled, I soon realized things about myself. First, I seemed to be stronger, faster, and more calculated than I used to be. I could sense things from afar, and no longer needed to eat. It seemed I truly was immortal.
After many years, I started to become lonely. Because of this, I started to search for those with odd abilities like my own. My passion for my travels slowly changed into a passion to find others like me, and like you. It took me nearly a century, but I finally found a group of travelers, a group of people with powers. Eventually, they accepted me into their group. I travelled with them, and learned as much as I could about powered people. Throughout the years, the group started fading out and dying. I in turn became the leader. The group and I, we travelled the world, looking for others to join us.
With the years gone by, my group grew bigger and bigger; as did its power. However, problems occurred, of course, as they always do. As time went on some of us were discovered. The people started calling us witches, and started to prosecute us. These prosecutions evolved into mass murders. I eventually had to put a stop to it all.
All powered beings were in danger, so I dismantled the group until it was safe to come together again. We slowly started to regroup after a couple centuries, leading up to the "posse" you see today.
Im gonna enlighten the world, you see. Show the world that we can live in peace, and no one has to be prosecuted. You want that, right? A world where those that are different aren't prosecuted for how their born, a world where we can all live in harmony. That dream can happen. All you have to do is join us. Not that hard. There are a few problems though. Times running out, and we really need a decision. However, if you decide not to join our group, we'll have to do something about it. Can't have you going around and blabbing about our plans can we? Well, the clock is ticking. Its time to make a choice. Will you join us or will you face the mob outside waiting to kill you alone?
