A Strong Mind.
In a village named Suran, a group of humans in long red hooded cape encircled a teenage girl. She was trapped by ropes to a pole in the middle of circle. Everyone held hands with each other and chanted mantras in foreign language. She was scared to death, wiggled to set free. But the ropes were infused with mystical energy, which held her tightly.
Not far away from this open ground, there is a small hill with a clif. On the top of it, two boys, Jade and Izan stood examining the situation. When Izan informed that his sister, Jannet, was going to be executed, because of him, Jade was restless and flew here in haste.
Jade's mother was lost when she was helping him escape the city. Then, citizens and villagers found his father and executed him. Now, only his sister left in the family. Jade's heart grew heavy. He couldn't see her in this situation, as she reminded him of his parents. Jade decided to save her irrespective of him getting exposed.
Jade isn't like this. He was a mischievous and joyful teenager. With his three other close friends, Izan, Lucas and Sasha, he would explore different parts of the country. Sometimes a beach, sometimes a cave. One day, he came across a haunted cave and wanted to visit. So, all four teenagers were set on a mission to visit it.
When they reached it, an ominous aura surrounded them, making them trip and fall. Everyone was scared and ran towards exit. But, poor Jade, unfortunately, he was captured. Everyone else successfully exited, except Jade. They cried and were arguing what to do next. Just then, Jade arrived unharmed. Rejoicing, they went home, and decided never to visit that cave, ever.
After few days, Jade started to show a black aura like a thick, invincible fog around his fingers. Soon, it spread to his entire body. His parents were the first to notice it and decided to take him to their farm house till situation settles. Being consumed by darkness, he decided to dominate it. But, like any dark power wielders, people recognised the black fog and unanimously, decided to kill him.
Legends say that, dark fog wielders are dangerous. The aura and strength they possess are like Everest, whereas local hills are rest of wielders and once the black fog touches, the residue will remain in the body, acting like slow poison. The wielder turns arrogant, violent and cold hearted. Many massacres that went down in the history were due to black fog wielders. Some did it, just for fun, some for revenge. But, the good side is, they don't last long. If untamed, the dark fog turns poisonous to wielder also. Everytime such wielder is born, all the clans in the country join forces to exterminate it.
Jade's misfortune is multiplying. Initially, it was him, now they targetted his family. Initially their families were targeted because wielders were difficult to destroy. Now, people started using their families to lure the wielder out. Ending in creation of a myth, lingering around wielders that they manipulate their familes for their benifit, which is purely illogical.
Jade's blood boiled and nerves popped on his arms and temples. His white orbs turned black with a violet ring on limbus and pupil.
"Be carefull." Izan said. If izan wasn't with him, Jade would have gone dark long time ago. So, his darkness was tamed a bit by Izan's words.
A black fog engorged with dark power spread from him. The breeze escalated it towards the circle. Seeing this, a man screamed, while running haywire. He ran while dusting off the fog. Seeing him, everyone were alerted and took a step back. The all clan leaders calling themselves 'The Jury' stepped forwards and raised their hands in unison to create a colourless, particulate shield. This halted the fog's progression. Rest of the members took a heated thin rod and went to imprint on Jannet, continuing the ceremony. She screamed Jade's name loudly.
Jade forwarded his hands and infused power with whole strength. The malicious fog broke the colourless shield and spread beyond it. The fog scorched every living part it touched. People ran in fear, trying to dust off the fog. Little did they knew that it's in vain. They abandoned Jannet and withdrew for a distance.
Jade's intention is to not hurt anyone, but only to threaten. Seeing them backing off, he felt victorious. He dashed towards Jannet with Izan accompanying him. As they approached, his sister morphed into his mother. Jade was missing her very much, so he ran towards her. His other friends, a group of five approached him. Jade's is fortunate today. All of them met at the circle's center and hugged. But a severe pain erupted from his abdomen.
When they broke the hug, Jade tightly pressed onto the pain. A thick liquid dropped from around rod that is pierced.
"You killed my mother!" One said.
"Die. You shouldn't live!"
"Blasphemy! Die!"
Multiple stab wounds dug holes in Jade's stomach. Jade was bewildered. He tried to understand why his close friends were so prejudiced against him. As the stabbing continued, sadness was replaced by anger. Violet rings in his eyes turned into shades of red. He screamed into the sky with frustration, sadness and anger.
Different shades of black emitted from him in the form of circles. They turned into thick sharp discs and rippled away like waves, sawing everything in the way!
"Jade! Stop!" Izan said, but he dismissed it unconsciously as devil took over. The waves of black spread the whole ground. Jade was still in trance like state, sending sinistrous black discs as he rose into air.
After few minutes, he landed on ground opening his eyes to look around. There were several dead bodies. Conscience regained it's significance in him and he ran towards his sister. Beside her, lay Izan. He held both of them and cried.
"I am sorry! I lost control!" He cried.
No response.
He shock them, still no response.
After all, who would be alive after they were sawed into three pieces! He lay beside them wanting to kill himself. Surprisingly, his abdomen was not pierced.
"Hahahahaha!" A wicked laugher emerged through dark fog.
Jade was heartbroken.
"You did a nice job there. You are so weak to differentiate reality from hallucinations. After all, did you think controlling me was that easy?!" Wicked laughter continued.
"Leave me alone!" Jade said using his last breath.
"I never thought a brat like you will control me more than your predecessors."
"..."
"I am in light mood today. I will give you two options. One, I will leave you and you can live a normal human life. Second, come with me and let me consume you totally."
Jade wanted to choose first option but something struck his mind.
"What will you do if I leave?"
"Find a weak mind!" A ghostly figure shrugged and laughed wickedly.
if Jade has the ability, he might succed in controlling it till end. And Jade doesn't want anyone to experience what he did. Without any family, given up on his life, he stood and said, "lets go."
