Daniel is a runner, he's always been. Able to do so much, that not doing it caused him to be put in a blackout home.

A rare case he was, most shiners could do one or two things. He did three: hydrokinesis, flight/levitation, symphokinesis. So his abilities did tend to be a fritz when kept in for too long.

He knew from birth of his abilities. Able to heal with his voice, damage, and even cause small phenomena as well. Fly through the world care free and even breath and control water.

He sighs as he looks around, his eyes surveying the surrounding. It was a clear plain around him but he still looks around in case of stragglers.

He sees one, the person seemed to be trying to do something. Upon flying a bit closer, he sees a flame in their hand and flies away. Quickly, he's shot at. Fire almost clipping his foot, he glares at the person.

Daniel screeches, he directed it towards the person. The person jumps left and pulls some item out.

The person points the long staff like item at Daniel and the blue-eyed male screams.

A burning sensation hitting him, he flies towards the creek. He lifts his hand and he's engulfed by a hand of water.

The burning sensation stopped and the man appeared again. The staff held it pointed to Daniel. A large ball of blue fire lit.

Daniel made a shield of water and hummed with a quiet tune. Soon a barely visible shield of air had appeared behind the water.

The blue flame flew forward and hit the shield head on. It dispersed and Daniel smirked. He hummed louder and the air grew more and more. He took more of the creek and enlarged it, the water lying behind the solidified air.

He flew and clapped his hand, combining each thing. It shot at the person, a big condensed ball of incredibly loud vibrating sound, extremely pressurized water, and high-velocity wind rushing its way at the man.

Daniel let an echo sound as the guy had disappeared. He disappeared in a second, unable to be heard. At the speed of sound, Daniel had flown away.

He frowned, footage will be seen of this with the commotion of noise. A helicopter was nearing. He knew he had to hide or find some way to leave.

The man had reappeared and in front of him. A teleporter? He guessed but that didn't seem right, teleporters always have a distinct sound. He would have heard them.

The brunette held his voice, screaming inwardly. The sound meant to do something specific, it hit the man as it was loud and unable to be blocked nor muffled to change the sound. The man fell deep into slumber

Daniel flew over and picked him up with a large hand of ice. He flew away as someone yells behind him, "There's something over here!"

The sleeping man's body following carried by the ice, he took him to a house. It was in the forest, the old witch hut, as people at his school called it.

He says as he walked in, "Auntie, can you help me?"

An old white-haired lady stood up from her chair. She had a cane and held it up, she was watching the news and saw a headline.

"A large number of odd craters have appeared in a loud area of the forest as just seen by a helicopter. That was flying by." It read, the lady hit Daniel on the head with the cane after she read it loudly.

"I see, footage of craters in an area I had let you use peacefully so nothing goes whack. Now, you bring this man here. He doesn't even shine!"

Daniel's eyes widen and he says, "He blasted fire at me, he mentally burned me with his staff! I had to protect myself."

The lady lifted her cane, the staff levitated out of the ice and the resident of the house hovered her hands around it. She drops it in a scurried rush she yells, "Dorothy, Dani, Devela!"

Daniel looks at her and says, "What's wrong, auntie Leigh. They're okay right."

Leigh shook her head, she held the staff once again with her shine and said, "Dorothy, the invisible flame. Dani, the silent portal. And Devela, the goddess's defence."

Daniel gasped and says, "They couldn't have, they'd never let a norm hold that shine."

Leigh shook her head, she shut the light out of the room and glowing jars surrounded them. She urges them to open and let the fluorescent material fly out. She forms a cloud and tells a story, the light forming visuals fluently and strikingly.

This was in the times of the witch hunts, everywhere they spiked. Woman slaughtered for magic, some so men could have jobs, some for more malicious reasons including the shine of the strong.

Items we call shinelights are extremely powerful, they are created by people known as shinesmiths. These people are not allowed to help norms in anyway, it's law created by all shines. They know their place as they dictate the flow of shinelights.

Shinelights though can be created in one other way excluding shinesmiths. That is what is considered illegal in any way. Mostly known as flickering, the norms found this by a woman we call, The Great Witch.

She was a beautiful lass, perfectly strong, she was a powerful shiner. Her title back then was Helena, the witch of ice.

One day as she had kept her shine in too long, she disappeared from her abode to a tranquil field. She had done it much more before and the forest mythed to be a witch's territory.

There two people met her, a child of her friend and her friend. She tried to pull the act off but immediately her shine acted by itself.

The area snowed in the summer, she commented on how weird it was and her friend. A male smirked, she sensed the hatred forming. Apparently a witch killed his family and the male took a crossbow, having came to kill the witch.

She fought valiantly but in the end, a life for a life took place. The dying words of the father was to his son, "Take her eye, let her body rot."

With that the son listened, he gouged out the Great Witch's eye. It froze over and became known as the eye of ice. The forbidden shinelight, allowing any person to wield the power of ice and sense hatred and love just like Helena.

"And that's the story of The Great Witch. This staff is a flickered item, made by what is the remains of the three I just pronounced."

Daniel's eyes widen, he wasn't going to run now. He loved to run away but instead of running, now he had to take a stand. He had to or else the next person flickers.
