And all that you hold dear shall crumble and fall around you
Again she was off... Older now and not needing her mother near by -did she ever really need her nearby anyhow- she wandered farther now. Pushing the limits to discover more and more each day. She wished she could find someone with a power like hers. To teach her how to use it, to control it... If it was controllable. Mother did not have any gifts like her nor did her brother. Her dad? Maybe but she knew not who he was. So she traveled now with purpose. The deadened grass lay limp around her, shockingly not her doing. Winter was finally coming to a close and soon enough bright green blades would emerge from their slumber... That is if she doesn't touch them...
Picking her way through the tangle of brush and tree she slips through unscathed. Careful to only touch what she wanted dead... Thorn bush... Boom dead. Ouch, thorns. Prickly little things. Her ebony nosed wrinkled upon seeing it and smoothed in satisfaction as she turned it to ash. She had tested a few theories lately... Depending on her liking she could control the effect she had. An absent minded touch could harm - where as a thoughtful touch could cause even a mighty pine to fall. She had yet to control it enough to have no effect if it was unwanted. So she traveled consciously of what she may do if she came into contact with anything. Lately she moved along beaten paths of dirt and rock. They concealed her whereabouts when she wished to be off grid...
Today she remained deep in the forests. The mighty trees towered over her small frame as she wandered deep... More seclusion from gawkers. She was in the mood to make a silent scene today. Dark eyes drawing in what light was available to her below their canopies. Deciding it was too dark here and that she wished to feel the spring sun upon her back, she found a workable area. Like a magician before their trick she gathered herself proudly. A focus and passion upon her features as her thoughts twisted. Eyes closing momentarily as she felt the powers rising from deep inside her chest. As they crept from the depths of her she could feel it stronger than before. Growing as it surfaced. Eyes shot open and instead of the deep earthy brown of usual they had lightened to yellow tint. This time was different, stronger. Her gaze fell upon the cluster of elms before her -in her way- the first twisted and bent. As if she were strangling it's windpipe... Her grip firm, waiting for it to stop struggling and go limp in her hands. Soon it gave way, falling upon the forest floor with a thud. She grinned happily as her focus shifted to another, then another... One by one they fell, revealing the open sky. As she stood -examining her work- surrounded by the fallen a devilish grin spread across her maw. The earthy brown of her eyes yet to return...
