Heroes: Deceptions
From the time we are born until the time we die, we live in a world of lies and deception. From our parents telling us about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny when we are little, to our sick loved ones telling us "it's nothing to worry about" lies dominate. Some of us even wonder if more lies than truth go around. In the years it could take truth to travel around the globe, a lie could have already went around hundreds of times. This is the world we live in.
Friends lie to each other. Parents deceive their children. Children use trickery on their parents. Brothers cheat their siblings. And lovers stab one another when the other isn't looking. It is a dark, cruel, and unforgiving universe even for those everyday humans. But those that are not so ordinary have it worse. Truths must be kept from the normals. Lies must be told to the suspicious. Everyone could be your enemy. Even you.
It is said that with great power comes responsibility. What if everyday that responsibility becomes harder to control? What if everyday another part of you slips away, lost forever? Great power can turn even the best of heroes into villains, and it can turn villains into absolute monsters. It nudges at the mind, and tempts the soul. You can have whatever you want, it whispers. Just do it....
Perhaps the worst time for temptation is in the beginning, when we find we have powers we could have never imagined. We feel invincible, and we start to wonder what we would do with our abilities and talents. But, though things may temporarily settle, the not too distant future is equally as tempting. The time we all become so accustom to our lives the way they are that we forget why we live them as we do, and we turn into hideous beasts. For no matter where along the road of time we are, there is something lurking about. Something that grows with our power and knowledge. Something that longs to have it's way. Inside of us all, there is a little Deception.
