The day I learned about my powers was the worst day of my life. I managed to burn down my house. I was forced to go to a terrible academy. I lost contact with my family and friends.
In our world, having powers is pretty common. Most people don't have a problem controlling them. If they do, they are sent to the academy to learn how. If their powers are strong enough, they then serve the king and his court as bodyguards for enough money to set you and your loved ones for life.
But like I said, very few people are cursed with such strong powers. Most people have mellow powers that help in day to day routines. Maybe they can float objects with their minds, maybe they cause plants to grow well or can control small amounts of water. Maybe they decide to pick a profession based on their power. Someone who was born with an immunity to heat could choose to help the city by getting rid of fires. Someone who has a proficiency for healing might become a doctor.
But I was not as blessed as these people. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dorian. I make fires. And then I lose control of them.
