Dark Mistery


(Prolog)


Everyone has a secret, but some secrets should be kept secret










I am powerful. You could almost say that I am divine. In any case, I am stronger than anything I have seen in my relatively short life.


I didn't want this power at all. I didn't ask anyone to give me strength that I didn't want, didn't know. I never pleaded with anyone to become powerful, I never thought of it, but they gave me it anyway. They told me that I was trustworthy and that I had a pure heart, they said. And then of course there would be my ancestors, all of whom had something to do with some powers, magic arts and religious cults. For example, my great, great, great, great uncle Tadäus Black. He was the high priest of a primitive people.Brewed potions with dead animals and poisonous plants and killed a hundred people with them, but healed at least a thousand times as many. Or my great-aunt Abigayle Black. She was a witch and was burned at the stake by the Inquisition. Allegedly she shared a cell with Jeanne`D`arc and was handed over to the flames only a few hours after her. My great-great-nephew, Mitchell Black, was a clairvoyant. He could predict the future exactly to the day. Or there would be my great, great, great cousin Cassandra Black. She was a real werewolf, must have had sixty people on her conscience.


I could go on for hours, but this is about me, isn't it?


Well, as I said, I got this power from someone because I was born into a family that has been related to the mystical and the occult since the beginning of time. I don't know who this someone is.That's the mean thing about such actions. They know everything about you, but when you ask a few questions it means that I don't need to know. Well, what should you do.


Well, this power that has been given to me is very, very strong. I know, although I've only used a small part of it so far. For my job that I got with this power.


If I wanted to, I could wreak havoc with this power. I mean, this power is older than time, but still totally unknown. It is more effective than light and darkness and these elements, fire, water, earth and wind are true beginners in comparison.


I can even decide between life and death with this power. I can revive the dead, heal the sick, make the injured invulnerable, I can make the weak invincible and even immortal, but I can just as well kill the living, make the healthy sick, make the inviolable vulnerable, I can make the strong weak and cause eternal torment.

If I wanted to, I could blow up the whole damn universe and then recreate it. But I don't. Why are you going to wonder, well, I think it's because I made a promise to this ominous someone who gave me that power. And I keep my promises, even when it's difficult.


If I had got this power by pure chance, according to the motto "At the right time in the right place", I would have sunk Australia and robbed all the banks, but I got this power because I am the only one who could carry it. It is always the case that only one person per generation gets the supernatural powers.


And so I have been living for two years with this power in me, which can be so powerful and yet so gentle. The trouble is, I can't tell anyone about it. Be honest, you think I'm crazy too. At least they've probably got the phone close by so they can call the cops in an emergency.

I don't hold it against them. I probably wouldn't believe myself if I didn't have the evidence on hand. Or can you move an ashtray with sheer power of thought?


Well, I can do it. I can even lift entire buildings on their foundations without lifting a finger. And even that is still little, because as I said, I've only ever used a small part of my power.


Well, maybe now you will be wondering why I got this power. I mean, there must be a reason for everything. Well, I think I mentioned it before, but I was given an assignment too. I'm kind of a bounty hunter for anything below and above normal. So both for the good and for the bad. If they want to get rid of anyone, regardless of whether they are angels, demons or centaurs, call me and I will kill them for you. That sounds pretty brutal, it basically is, but hey, that's the union.

However, I get paid for this job too. I got a new, better look back when I got that power. It's not that I was ugly before, no, no, but I really look a lot better now. And by the way, everyone else I meet thinks that too. The women in particular seem to be after me, although a few guys have asked me, which of course I immediately refused.


The price for that power and that devilish good looks is loneliness. I'm not allowed to tell anyone about my secret, even though I'm doing it right now, so just keep the edge, otherwise a few Morlorks will be standing in front of your door afterwards and they are very unpleasant fellows.


And that's why, even though I'm seventeen now, I've never had a girlfriend. Doesn't that scare them? So, I find that very scary. But I have to keep it that way, there is only one person who can carry this power, even if I sometimes wonder why in God's name it has to be me of all people when there are six billion others.

In general, I have to say, I've never had the urgent need to be with a girl. Maybe I'm just uptight, but there's really never been a girl who made me think, "Shit, why do you have to be a vampire hunter or an archangel hunter."


At least that had never been the case before. But I'll get to that later.


I actually came here to tell you my story if you felt like it. The story of how I got this power and how I master my life with it. I can tell you right away that it gets very hard and bloody sometimes, just so that you can't say afterwards that I didn't warn you.


So it is up to them whether they want to continue reading or prefer to read a harmless story.


So do you want to continue?


Okay, it started shortly after my fifteenth birthday, by the way, my thirteenth birthday is on Friday, appropriate, right?Well, however, I didn't get this power from the bite of a radioactive spider, or as the aftermath of a lightning strike, I got this power from the worst thing that can happen to a fifteen year old teenager .......


Oh yes, how rude of me, I haven't even introduced myself yet. My name is Chris, Chris Black.
