December cold has to be my favourite time of all. I love the snow, the way it dwells on the roadsides and on the roof of the houses, like soft blankets confining the remains of autumn, it's mesmerizing.

White is my favourite color.
Something about it compels me to think about nice, positive things. I believe color impacts our mindset the most. That's the reason I love to paint. I can make the sky green, the grass blue, the sea yellow, and it would still be as beautiful.
I'm in the control of the world that I create on a canvas, it's intriguing. My dad use to say we humans strive on control, and whether we believe it or not, we sought it in the littlest things. I think painting is my escape to gain control, for the world I live is in quite bleak and not so white.

“Meryokuna, come down stairs!” A familiar voice yelled.

I can feel my body shifting instinctively. Going by instinct isn't always good. My body was moving too quickly, If my dizzy vision was any indication. My mind wasn't nearly ready.

It's insane, though. One word. Meryokuna, has the ability to provoke such a reaction from me. To be a Meryokuna is to be useless. Or, in my case, powerless. Born without any special abilities, each is equivalent to dirt.

Earth, along with the humans who inhabit it, had evolved. Humans who used to struggle in strength, speed, and school gained an abilities. A boy who couldn't life a chair, could now lift three or more cars.

While millions of people received millions of differed powers, just one stood out: Atlas.

You could be certain that no matter where a person went, they were aware of Hero Atlas. The ultimate hero. He possessed the abilities of fire and earth. He had the ability to destroy mountains just to rebuild them from the ground.

But that was before...

"I said hurry up!"
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjdk86CuT
I dashed down the stairs, stumbling and missing a few steps.

"Sorry I'm late," My gaze was drawn to the ground. I'd learned from my previous experiences that making eye contact was never a smart idea.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

I observed her tapping her foot. Her presence towered over me.

"No, Ms. Ross…"

"There's no package." She gave me a stern look.
181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LYPCtYsTt
Package? What is she on about...the package? My head immediately rises. The package. I was supposed to get it.

"I'm sorry" I silently hoped that my voice came across as remorseful enough. I was sincerely sorry, but being sorry wasn't always enough.
