The young electrokinetic walked along a concrete sidewalk, his destination of desire, the courtyard. He wanted to find some place to relax and to think over all that has happened. Specifically speaking the fortunes that befell him since arriving at Manta Carlos. He didn't know which memories to reminisce. He will start by the new happenings that occurred when joining Starlight Academy, a haven for the gifted students. He also brought a book with him to the courtyard to read. It was the one he checked out of the library after his tour around campus by Aurora. He recalls her being a friendly woman as well as hi be very talkative. Probably due to his excitement. Either way, he made a good friend and his first since arriving at the academy.
While exploring the vast lands surrounding the campus, the boy came across the certain object he was looking for. A place to sit down at while he read, a bench. It was within a beautiful garden. It fit nicely with the weather and can help sooth his mood even further. This was actually the first time Malik had been out in the courtyard, so everything looked foreign to him. However it may look, it doesn't change his opinion that it was a breath-taking background. It can be used for either sitting down and relaxing while one stared in awe at the beauty the land had to behold or for basically playing around, which is mostly seen with children.
'Ah, a bench, just the place where I can continue learning about the supernatural creatures living within our world.' Malik thought as he walked up to the bench, so he can peacefully read his book. However, if someone who happens to walk by him and ask him to join in on friendly fun between student, he wasn't one to turn it down just to read. Everyone needs some joyous activity in their life. It is one of the many things to indulge. When he arrived at the wooden seating, he sat down and opened the mythology book where he put the bookmark, so he could continue from there. Where he last left off was the section filled with various, dangerous demons. The creature he was last reading was the Soul Thief. These are the demons that lure humans into a dark area and suck out their souls. It's miraculous that the victim can still be alive afterwards. At least until their soul returns through this demon's death.
He decides to turn to another page, since he has learned enough about this supernatural being to be careful. They primarily go after the gifted to enhance their own abilities with theirs. The are dangerous and as such he must be cautious as to avoid the same fate as their victims. Still, there have been no sign of these kind of demons from around the campus or Manta Carlos. Besides, Malik's powers were their weakness. His lightning could reduce them to dust and save the unfortunate victims. Besides, it was his dream to become a hero and defend the innocent from such evil. From what he has read further about these demons, many enjoy sucking out people's souls. They have a craving, if not an insatiable hunger for them. That was part of what made them even more dangerous. He must be careful when faring against these entities.
Continuing his reading on the next page of the category containing special types of demons, the young electrokinetic has found one native to Japan. It is a japanese fire demon named the Moyashi, the japanese term for the word "incinerate". These supernatural beings are even more destructive than the Soul Thief. Replacing their insatiable hunger for souls, they have an aggressive personality and can be very hostile towards foreigners. Their true nature is with the alignment of good. Though, the way some act can mislead one from the truth. Like with other fire demons, the Moyashi have the ability to manipulate the element of fire. Accomplished masters can also manipulate heat, increasing or decreasing the temperature of an object or certain area. They also have the ability to control the infernal flames of the purgatory, also known as Hell in Christian religion. These flames are more dangerous than regular fire. They were made for punishing the wicked, including sinners and evil demons alike. The flames are mystical and have the power to destroy anything in their path. It is due to how dangerous this kind of fire is, the Moyashi have put restrictions on their use.
'Hmm, what interesting, yet demonic beings. Their hot-tempered nature has others mistake them for evil when they are actually good at heart. "You should never judge a book by it's cover", an old saying to not assume who someone is just by sight. Rather, you should get to know them from time spent in acknowledgement.' He thought, wondering what it must be like for these creatures to be judged on how they are and what they look like. He can understand them well, because he knows how it is for the gifted to be rejected by human society for their abilities. There is nothing wrong with performing a unique feat no one else is capable of. They just accuse it of being wrong, because it is not natural. True, it is not of human normality, but it shouldn't matter. Humans and gifted alike are the same. They are all human-beings and they shouldn't be discriminated for their gifts.
He looks up from his book and into the sky as his mind wanders. He accepts that the gifted are discriminated in society, but it doesn't mean anything to him. All that matters is what is happening now, the present. Starlight Academy was founded, so gifted alike can be safe and accepted. Despite this, the boy's thoughts continue to drift to discrimination against those with gifts, including the similarities they have with the Moyashi. One fact Malik has learned about his race is that all humans are very different from one another. There are some who reject the gifted for their return to normalcy, but they must accept that there are changes in the world and must come to terms with it. They shouldn't shun others just because they are different. There are other humans who discriminate out of hatred and jealousy. Another reason is that it makes them feel better. People who put others down for their own amusement or self-satisfaction are bullies you would see in regular schools or are simply jerks who could care less about the lives of others, excluding their own of course. There are some who would cower in fear, if they are in danger of dying. These people are just some of the examples on the worse humanity has to offer, but the human race offers more good than evil. They more than often offer the best. These humans accept others, even if they are different. While some may have difficulty coping, they make acceptance to the gifted nonetheless.
After calming the thoughts of his mind from the subject on discrimination, he decided to continue reading his mythology book. The academy's library has vast amount of information, all of which draw the boy's curiosity. Mostly the books sitting in the sections on mythology, the paranormal, and supernatural are what peeked his curiosity. These have always interested Malik ever since he was a child. He has always wondered what mysteries existed throughout the world he lived in. Just thinking about it excited him to no end. He also has always wanted to be a hero, using his special abilities for good, protecting others, and defeating evil. Wherever that kind of force arises, he will be there to put a stop to it. At times, he can be selfless, often caring about others more than himself. It is a common trait in a hero as well as a person who upholds justice. The boy turned the pages to a section on incorporeal beings. This section was comprised of ghosts, specters, phantoms, any entity whose physiology was naturally intangible.
'Ah, a section on the spiritual beings as well as the paranormal. Let's see what happens within the realm of the incorporeal entities.' Malik thought as he began reading on the japanese spirits most common in the country and culture of Japan. The being he was currently reading about was the Yuurei. They are the japanese version of a ghost. They are the souls who did not receive proper funeral rites or die so suddenly and cannot cope with it, similar to the american ghost. There are numerous traits and characteristics all ghost of folklore have in common, but the most noticeable one is that they are all over the world. Wherever there are living beings, ghosts will be wandering around the terrain, if someone died in an unexpected or violent way. With something always happening on the island without a dull moment, Malik runs a great chance of encountering a ghost. If he happened to fight one, he can't hurt them, because they lack a physical form, unlike demons who can be touched. He would much rather talk with them and see, if he can help them pass on. That's the kind of person he is, kind and helpful.
