"There's nothing to be afraid of, you'll be fine" said Maria, stroking her hair. "Thank you, mum" replied Benjamin with a smile.
The awakening ceremony was an important rite of passage for the youth of the community. This was the time when they were becoming fully-fledged adults, and when they were ready to take their place in the community by working in the mines and helping to maintain the survival of their people. Benjamin was proud to participate in this ceremony, despite his nerves. He knew this was the start of a new stage in his life, and he was ready to take on the challenges ahead.
The morning breeze ruffled Maria's fiery hair as she stood proudly before her son Benjamin. Her eyes shone with a caring sparkle as she turned to him. "Mom, what is your power?" Benjamin asked with a look of wonder.
Maria smiled at her son before replying, "My power is that of Berserker, I can increase my superhuman strength and speed to fight" adding an enigmatic smile. The flames dancing in her hair made it look like she was a supernatural being herself.
Benjamin turned to his father Robert, "And you, Dad, what is your power?" Robert smiles as he replies "My power is to change matter, I can manipulate the objects around me and transform them into different shapes, like artists who sculpt matter." His father's power seemed limitless, as if he could create worlds on his own.
"And me, don't you want to know my power?" teased Alexander, joining in the conversation. He stood proudly beside his parents, his imposing stature accentuating his power. "Surely the power of stupidity" joked Benjamin laughing. "Very funny, little brother. In reality, my power is that of the Titans, I can have the power of a Titan for a short time" said Alexander, smiling proudly, his voice ringing with assurance. He was like a divine warrior, able to defeat any enemy.
Maria's voice interrupted their exchange, "It's almost time, Benjamin, you should get ready to take the bus for the awakening ceremony" she reminded. Benjamin felt a wave of excitement wash over him at the idea of discovering his own power. He felt like a budding hero, ready to discover his own supernatural powers. "Yes, you're right, mum" said benjamin smiling. "He should listen to his mother and stop doing stupid things." The family gathered and prepared for the awakening ceremony, each of them eager to discover their supernatural destiny.
