2. A MIRACLE!

Blake sighed as he walked in the city, observing the setting sun which was sinking down the horizon. as far as the eye could see, majestic skyscrapers were scattered around Malen City. The traffic in the sky had could down to a lazy trickle of hover cars. Malen City was one of the large cities built after the emergence of abilities. Though it was very beautiful, it was especially dangerous at night. Luckily, due to the numerous powerful people in the city, the only incidents were petty thefts and the occasional murder. In fact, it was not dangerous to most people except Blake who was abilityless and simply powerless.

The moon was now brightly visible in the sky but still Blake was outside wandering about. His situation was driving him over the bend and the death of his parents in the last year had frustrated him. His parents had left enough money to pay the bills and sustain him for two years and after that... well, he would have to start searching for a source of income and no one in his right mind would employ an abilityless scum like him. Meanwhile, far away from earth an existence had opened it's eyes and had taken interest in the blond boy who was walking down a deserted street at night. He clearly heard and felt the boy's thoughts and emotions, after all, his power allowed him to do so. The reason why it had taken such an interest in a weak person it could kill in just a breath was that he had caused a certain book in his collection to glow a bright blue. The existence had lived for tens of thousands of years and had collected so many treasures that it had literally forgotten about a faded book at the bottom of it's collection. The book had never elicited such a response before, thus Urgilluu was interested in the mortal who had caused such a reaction. Besides, Urgilluu wanted to find out the true power of the book and decided to gift it to the blond boy to see how valuable the treasure was. Anyways, Urgilluu did not need it anyway and threw it in the direction of the boy. Space was broken as the book arrived at earth in an instant. The book glowed brightly as it got closer to the boy and finally landed gently on top of his head and disappeared inside in a flash of blue...

Blake was turning around the corner leading to his house when something hit him hard on the head and knocked him unconscious. When he came to, it was almost dawn. Cursing his bad luck, Blake lifted himself up and walked laboriously to his house. As soon as he entered the house, he heard a voice inside his head.

[Congratulations master on your successful arrival to your house. Do you accept the Blue power?] Blake jumped in shock. "Who's there?" he asked. To his surprise a blue holographic display appeared in front of him with two options, accept and decline. Intrigued, he chose accept. Instantly, it was as if invisible chains on him had been broken and he felt fresh! "What is this?!" he asked himself in shock. [Congratulations master! you are now an Awakened ability user,] came the voice again. "What!?!" just like that? Blake was stunned. "If then, what's my ability?" he asked. [Blue Power!] came the reply.
