To be cursed into Immortality! Or Dedicated to seeking it? Which kind of He/Shero would you be?

by Joseph Bolden Heroes of Dark and Light We love dark heroes, the ones with suicidal tendencies when battling evil or part of that evil within themselves. Our beloved dark hero is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. A supernatural being, irresistible to both sexes. Cursed, evil, fighting evil within themselves. They seek for redemption. I’ll mention part of the title has moon in it about a change human literally married into. Unlike Werewolves, that can walk,work,in the day,fear the full moon. Vampires shun sunshine,rise in pitch of night feed,he blood on hapless humans. In today’s time save lives from those like him/her self. Yet another hero isn’t as easily afforded much fanfare they are diametrically opposed to their dark brother’s and sister’s. Their power from denial of most of what human call earthy living. They slave away in hidden corners secrecy is a must for they know what happens when exposed. The Alchemist looks to change lead to gold as a test of spiritual purification. If they can purify lead supposedly to higher gold content then the tincture or red glowing elixir is ready to consume. When it’s all done as her or she drinks said liquid of the philosopher’s stone only then is all the time, effort,poverty,illness, loss of family,or having a family. The elixir supposedly confers near unlimited powers to those partaking of the drink. From speaking with God,other sentient beings. Mental/physical genetic changes quantum leaping evolution. To unlocking all the hidden potentials of humanity! Unfortunately in this a permanent awakened state our illuminated human must shield him or herself from empathic, unshielded minds of sleeping humanity. They’re younger,skin so pure to glow from within. They find solutions to problems plaguing people kind for thousands of years. The laws of physics, chemistry,everything is easily assessable to them yet they are humble,shy, servants,caretakers,of humanity disguised as ordinary people. Hard to make shero or hero out of those who actively shun the glare of fame. There may rise a person whom by accident or design was given the elixir as cosmic joke only this now fully forever awakened Joy/Jim average can do all he wants! They might attract another ancient alchemist or more who’s school them in the vast powers they have while the newcomer teaches the ancient how to remain vital when the other thought the dreary centuries as a waste of sentience. Hmmm,a hero who has mischievous moments, isn’t evil but a sense of humor and as for whichever opposite sex lets say our hero only has three main worries. Learning the difference between being irresistible from extreme likeability, and true love, producing illuminated progeny, dealing a vastly extended life span, and learning his/her new found powers, what they are,their limits,and going beyond them. On second thought who wants a shining hero able to control great power without being corrupted by it who know untold secrets,saves lives in small unknown ways and has God,or Gods, ancients,also other alchemists,or sentient beings even saints and angels to back him up if he really fouls things up? I guess a Vampire Detective is easier to work with than an near all powerful,youth person accidentally (by design) given awesome reponcibity and powers. |
