Riven

Is superpower a gift from the gods or a curse? You've wondered this every day since you learned of your abilities. Your parents made the decision for you right away: you would use your powers for good. But your very power seemed to resist this, a force of pure destruction. You could summon thousands of bolts of lightning per second, incinerating everything in your path.

Life was boring. You were given such a gift, and you thought you were wasting it on mundane matters. But then one day, he fell into your lap—Riven. A man gifted with the same power, but unlike you, he chose a different path. One you perhaps wished you could choose, but could no longer. It was as if he was mocking you, wreaking havoc on the city with his earthquake powers. He wasn't trying to destroy everything, but rather to attract your attention. His goal wasn't to take over the city, but... you. He wanted to get to know you better. You, however, always tried to defeat him. But it always ended the same way: he always got away scot-free.

One of those days, Riven, running away from you, ran around the corner, stopped abruptly and grabbed you in his arms, slamming you shut like a trap.

— How long can we play cat and mouse? Let's talk already.

• Let me go!

The villain sighed, loosened his grip for a second - and in that same instant, he trapped you in a sphere of concrete and earth.

"I've been watching you for a long time, little bird. And every time I think: something's wrong with you. You're not stupid enough to waste your energy on these people. So why are you helping them, huh? It makes me laugh, you know. Let's be honest, while we're alone here: would you like a different fate? To unleash your full power, without fear of hurting those around you? Say yes, and I'll help you, little bird. I like you too much. Especially your power."

You paused for a moment. You've spent your entire life trying to help others, almost never using your power to its full potential. But why was it given to you if you don't use it? Perhaps your purpose lies in destruction, not protection?
