What is your power? Explain in as much detail as possible, please.
I have umm...more than one power? I’m able to fly? Levitate? I can hover. But I also can produce ice from my mouth....so ice breath? It kind of sounds stupid when I write this all down.
When did you first discover it?
In my dorm. It wasn’t pleasant. I froze my half of the room and had to spend hours using my hairdryer to thaw everything out before my dramatic roommate noticed. Not that I would think she would notice unless it happened on her side.
What, if anything, do you think triggered it?
Probably the stress of being the hardest working person I know. It’s kind of hard being me. My siblings work hard, sure, but they don’t try to keep everyone safe. And educated. But of course my role has been slacking a little bit since this “power” revelation. It’s hard to connect with people now and if I knew what scientific reason caused this I would have been going to people for a cure by now. But nothing adds up! I can’t figure it out! Are you happy I admitted it? I’m not.
Can you control it? If so how - what is your method?
I’ve been working on it. So far it is very mood-based and I think I got the floating bit down. It’s just that stupid ice breath. It sneaks up on me. And I hate that. Control is all I have. It is all I have ever known. So lacking in it makes me a little crazy! I can admit that I have flaws and this is a flaw to me. If it was something so special and cool I feel like it would be a lot less stressful.
Has your power impacted the way that you interact with the people in your life
Absolutely. I hardly talk to my siblings, my friends, my dad....I feel like a freak. And it’s been hurting my relationships a lot. I can’t let people see me so weak and so confused and stupid. It would make people think I don’t have it together. I don’t have it together right now but I will be darned if anyone figure that out.
Do you hide your power? Or do you not care if others know?
I hide it as best as I can. So far one of my siblings know about some of it but I can’t let them see this until it is under control. Plain and simple.
Did you believe in magic before gaining these powers?
No. I believe in science. And I still believe in science. There has to be a logical reasoning for all of this. Everything has a logical, rational explanation. And this shouldn’t even be a question! Believing in magic is for babies and people who aren’t ready to handle truths. The truth is in science.
Do you feel like everyone has magic in them as well or that you are special?
I know of some others. But I don’t feel special. How could anyone feel special from this? It’s a curse. And if anyone did feel special they are clinging to some superhero fantasy that doesn’t exist. Being able to float around and make ice isn’t being a hero. Standing up for what’s right, protesting for your rights and the rights of others, and putting in the hard work and passion is what makes people heroes. You have to give everything and expect nothing to be given back. Because you want to make the world a better place for everyone, not just you. And you aren’t above anyone because you are different. So this is just a thing that helps isolate the outcasts I guess. I’m used to being different because of my drive but this? it’s frustrating.
Do you feel like the king and queen should address the increase in magic on the island?
Umm yeah. They should have addressed it a long time ago. How can the public be prepared for something like this? What if it is due to a chemical outbreak? The people deserve to know plain and simple. The more they hide, the sketchier they seem. I know I am having serious doubts right now about their credibility. And other people should too!
How has your power impacted your moods? Have they been more erratic, calmer, etc? Explain as much detail as possible.
I have been very moody because of all of this, as stated above. I would say more erratic for sure. The floating thing seems to be triggered by either frustration or giddiness (not that I have been very giddy lately). The ice breath is the only wild card at the moment.
Would you be willing to go through a series of tests to better understand your powers?
Without a doubt. Science makes sense to me and knowing that I would be in capable hands puts me at ease a lot. You don’t have my name though so I don’t really know how you would figure that out. But still, I would do it. For science.
