[ WP ] For the first time ever , a person is born with a genuine superpower . They proceed to live out their entire life without noticing or realizing it .

It was not the pain that truly scared him, unbearable as it may be. It was not the throngs of people shaking their fist, practically frothing at the mouth, that shook him. 
 
 The skies will part for man and beast alike, and today they darken. Fear grips a slowly beating heart as he wades into childhood and the smell of cut wood somehow manages to fill his lungs though his nostrils are caked and clotted with blood. The early years were simple, but brief. Wise for his age; wise for his upbringing. Wise in a world where wisdom is reserved for the wealthy, and he was not so. He saw the world through unblinking eyes, hoisted atop the shoulders of giants. 
 
 Thirst jams needles into his throat, bringing him back from delirium. Fear of death once again seeps into his chest, and he does not understand. A though comes to mind, *'Mercy. Beg for forgiveness.'*, but quickly passes. His lips crackle and sting. He must have said it, not just thought it. He must have said **something**. 
 
 Shifting slightly causes the wood to creak, but he hears it. Above the rabble, the clinking of armor and weapons, and shouts of anger and blood lust... he could *hear* it. This is why he is brought to death; this is why he is told he must suffer. They could not accept him as he truly was, nor could they accept what he was molded into. Though there are those that call him friend, they are lost in a sea of hatred where even he can not tread. Though there are those that call him family, it is they who crowned an unworthy king before even being born and he believed them. Birthed to a star gleaming above superstitious fools and welcomed in a manger to a world not ready for his kind. Before even his birth, they whispered god. Even as he bleeds and dies, they whisper god. Wise for his age and wise for his upbringing, he realizes how whispers will turn to bellows, and hearts will turn dark in the name of a `` god'' that was simply born... different.
