[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1485500, member: 118"] On October 15th of last year, mysterious curtains of multi-colored light passed over the surface of the Earth. Some areas were missed altogether, while others saw several waves pass. Most who saw these curtains of light described them as similar to the most impressive aurora borealis displays. Both beautiful and disturbing, they seemed harmless at first. Speculation as to the curtains' nature and origin was a popular topic in the news. Suggestions included natural or celestial phenomenon, military experiments, holy or unholy signals, and the like. Within days of the first outbreak, reports started pouring in of strange phenomena. Humans who had mutated or acquired strange powers. Animals with altered behavior. Buildings and other places also exhibited seemingly impossible properties. Magic, super powers, or divine intervention were seemingly the only suitable lables for these changes in the nature of the world. Several months have now passed, and humanity is only beginning to come to grips with the changes. The curtains of energy still sweep over areas, but with decreasing frequency and intensity. Some people with "super powers" have made their presence known by committing acts both criminal and benevolent. While a seemingly low percentage of people were directly affected, that still leaves presumably millions who have been changed. This is the story of a few of those people...and how they come to terms with their new powers in a world where the line between fantasy and reality has disintigrated. [/QUOTE]
