No Past, No Power
There was no other way to describe the purest form of energy coursing throughout your body; it was simply raw power. It was neither bad nor good. It just was. What actions may befall or be provoke is the users own liability. It was like a wildfire of energy starting from the center of his being taking a hold of his as it spread throughout, taking charge. He wanted to scream out to the world the sheer joy he gained in this state. The way he knew no one could stop his will, determination, with the immense power to back it all up. It was like a high he would never tire of. With this he could protect those he deemed worthy. With this he could protect those he loved. With this he could finally achieve his dream.
His dream for recognition.
Recognition of a poor boy with no background but almost infinite amount of potential cast off to the side of the street like a rabid dog, something that was better off dead. It didn't matter, he was pretty much dead to most of the village. He was ignored by the entire town. He had no father to tell him to act like a man, to be unshaken by their cold stares because that's what they wanted. He had no mother to hold him close to her heart and tell him that it didn't matter because she loved him so. He lived alone in an empty apartment with no memories. There was no photos of his family, no photos of his childhood, just of himself.
He didn't even know how to spell his own name.
Some person he was; no past, barely even a present, no name… he could never have a future. A boy, with no past or name with a power unrivalled by anyone, would never be placed in the position to protect a village, to protect their very being and their loved ones.
Therefore I stay in the shadows harboring the power of life and death, protecting all while they sleep and unknown to the world as if I were dead. My loved ones will stay safe with the front of my only love living my dream with an iron fist and my unwavering support for her. So as I enjoy my power to protect everyone in the village with no one to thank me or encourage me to go on, I will enjoy watching her smile in the distance unnoticed by everyone.
