Powers of The Unknown

[[ Prologue ]]

I was always the outsider.

When I finally hit 16 I was left behind.

Everyone had succeeded for lessons I couldn't attend because I didn't possess what they did: powers.

So therefore I was suck in a class which didn't offer much but help on how to survive the human world. That's how things were if you didn't achieve any powers at a certain age.

I have five siblings. Chloe, Darren, Nina, Cole and Amber.

All except for Amber have gotten their powers at the right age, whereas I'm here two years later, jealous and vulnerable, and forced to watch everyone else, my old so called 'friends' move higher up in ranks, develop their powers whilst I still recover from the realisation of having none.

Our mother is human but she's very much aware and updated about the supernatural world. And believe it or not, our father was an Elder. Yeah, one of those ultimate angels, supreme helpers of the 'Greater Good'. Until he died. Leaving our mother to take care of six defenceless children that were an easy target for all those that wanted to take advantage of their powers. Being the offspring's of an Elder left you with powers that everyone wanted. Being half human didn't mean you couldn't have the full powers that rightfully belonged to you. Well, to them in this case.

There was a pattern, a tradition that was cherished, a unexplainable reason to why at the age of 16 you received your powers, your gifts that decided your fate.

There was a school that we went to. Magic School, it's very cliche but what else could we call it?

There was a class for those that had already gotten their powers and studying to develop them.

There was a class for those that were predicted to definitely getting their powers at the age of 16.

There were 5 different classes for each year.

Year 10 > 14 going onto 15

Year 9 > 13 going onto 14

Year 8 > 12 going onto 13

Year 7> 11 going onto 12

And anyone younger than 11 would still be in preschool.

Then.. You have a class called 'Community Cohesion 101' which is a class that allows you to learn the ways of the non-supernatural, the humans. The class that I attend every single day, part ways from my siblings to go to.

Although, we are born with some human genetics, they are non-magical creatures and would most probably act negatively to the truth about our world, our ways, become jealous and probably try and take any powers that they feel that's theirs. It's happened before but luckily with the help of magic, the Sweepers had managed to erase the memories that caused us suffering.

So you can imagine why magic is kept a secret.

You've learned a little a little about me and my school.

My name is Zack Anderson. Welcome to my world.
