The leader spat, his eyes glinting with malice. The number and his words hung in the air like a death sentence, suffocating the tiny room with its weight.

And Daniel without power is nothing in this world. Before, I could lift myself in the air with nothing but a thought. I’d float, spin, and slam down my enemies like they were paper. Now? I try again and again just to lift off the ground. I sweat, I shake, and sometimes, nothing happens at all. It’s embarrassing. Infuriating. And more than anything, it’s dangerous. I needed answers.
