[ WP ] A person 's eye colour correlates to what superpower they have , activated at age 18 . You are the first person to be born with totally black eyes .

They say that the goddess of light freed us all from the never ending darkness. Hell, they even say she was the one behind the big bang; which created all of us. Unlike the many planets that the `` Almighty'' Hazel explorers have discovered over the course of time, it is said, ours was one of the few planets which was created before the star it grew to revolve around. There are even myths which suggest that the first breed of mankind lived on the dark, cold planet. They had gotten so used to the darkness, that when the goddess of light first manifested in their presence, the pure light radiating from her blinded them. It was at that moment, that the goddess blessed the first of us with the `` knowledge'' of the light spectrum. She grew so fond of us, that she eventually created the sun around which our planet revolves to this day. 
 
 *I know this because I snuck around the libraries of few of the `` Hazel'' families my father worked for* 
 
 The blind shared the knowledge of the light. The `` Hazels'' gained telekinesis once they turned 18; whereas the `` Reds'','' Blues'','' Greens'' and `` Yellows'' each blessed with a unique ability like superspeed/super agility, flight, control over plants, or camouflage. There were some who stood up to the blindfolded saints, as they realized that sharing this knowledge would simply divide us, but of course they were banished. Over time, factions were created, anyone born with one of the above eye colours were to be handed over to the respective communities. 
 
 The `` Hazels'' compromised of the `` higher class'' as they were mostly responsible for majority of the innovations in every field. The `` Reds'' were the athletic ones; flourishing in the fields of sports, construction and even security. The last of the `` high'' class were the `` Blues'', even though they're considered to be third on the scale, the `` Blues'' were the most egotistical and `` proud'' ones, revolutionizing the fields of transportation, aviation and what not. The middle class `` Yellows'' and `` Greens'' largely worked under the high class as the `` City Beautification Force'' or the entertainment field of `` Movies and theatres'' etc. The `` Browns'' were considered to be descendants of the few who were banished by the saints. Having no powers of their own, they either ended up being slaves to the higher classes and living in poverty. They were made to wear shades whenever inside the main cities, as their eye colour was deemed `` unlucky''. 
 
 *Why am I telling you all this? * 
 
 Well, its 11:53pm tonight, and its a big deal because I was born with black eyes. That's right, black - dark as the night, filled of nothingness. Ever since my parents realized that I had black eyes, we moved to live among the `` Browns''. They did n't know what else to do, but they were sure as hell not going to let word of this get out; not after what happened to those who were different, the one's with two different eye colours. The `` different'' one's were considered as `` Abominations `` by the factions and `` taken care of''. Even the kids who could n't see had a place among the factions; the Sept of the blind saints, but a kid with black eye colour was unheard of. My parents chose to live here with me because the `` Browns'' did n't care, to them all of this was just a way for them to repent for some `` past life sins''. A child with brown eyes was known to bring `` shame'' to its family; still the factions were `` generous'' enough to let those families keep their child, only if they gave up their respective seats in the factions and lived among the `` Browns''. 
 
 *11:55 pm* 
 
 Ever since I can remember, I've been hiding; afraid of ever being noticed, always wearing shades. How ever that's not the only thing that's been running through my mind all these years. 
 
 **What if I am an abomination? ** 
 
 What if I get a power which I can not control? What if I end up destroying everything? The black colour had to mean something. I pondered over this question every night for the last few years. Until last week, when curiosity got the better of me. I wore my shades and walked to the Sept under the cover of the night sky. I asked one of the saints what the implications would be if such a child were ever to exist. My parents had warned me to stay away from the saints, for if they were to find out about my eye colour they'd take me away. But I had to know, I was ready to risk this `` life'' I'd been living. 
 
 *11:58 pm* 
 
 Though they were just speculations, the blind saint explained to me that when the Goddess of Light manifested herself among the first of us, even though the pure light that emanated from her blinded us, it freed us from the never ending darkness, it gave us warmth, it gave us hope. He said that light in its purest form existed in white colour. So for a child to be born with black eyes, one could only assume that he'd pull us back into darkness, that he'd be cold and ruthless. 
 
 *I had heard enough* 
 
 Over the last few days, I felt as if I was being watched; I did'nt care, I assumed it was the Sept that was coming to `` take care of me''. I waited; but no one came. They say that the Sept took care of the `` Abominations'' after the clock striked 12. 
 
 **I could n't take that risk** 
 
 *11:59 pm* 
 
 I put my hand under the pillow, and pulled out a gun. My hands were trembling; but I knew what I had to do. I took a deep breath and put the barrel of the gun in my mouth. I closed my eyes as I felt the tears roll down my cheeks; they're probably the last thing I'd ever feel. I look at the ticking second hand of the clock; its now or never. I close my eyes again and say my finaly goodbyes. Without wasting another second, I pull the trigger. 
 
 *12; 03 am* 
 
 I spat the bullet out.
