Afterglow

Chapter 18

And that is why I understand what is my Father's thinking whenever he scolds me for playing with my powers because before the Ancient Steorras left us, they said that they would choose worthy Steorras who will have the blood of the Ancient Steorras on them to have a piece of their powers. It was a big deal back then because everyone also wanted the powers the blood of an Ancient Steorra can give. Still, after the Ancient Steorras left with a bright flash, all people of Steorra, including me, are left with a dead planet that turned into a dead wasteland.

Luckily, my Father, General Dox Ar was dumbfounded after making myself covered in fire, making me the sole reason why our house burnt down. I can remember my Father's face trying to relax his self when deep inside, he's torn between killing me or celebrating because I was chosen to have a piece of the Ancient Steorras' power and that I burned down our house my Father had worked hard to build.

In the end, my Father celebrated, and that he said, being gifted by the Ancient Steorras is more important than to our house that he built with his blood and sweat. But not everyone thinks like my Father, as being gifted means being more powerful than any other Steorras. Many people complaint and said that I don't deserve the Ancient Steorras' gift, but my Father assured me.
