Faithful Omens 4: Strawberry, the First Power

Strawberry Cream woke up. She was a solitary lizard, because she liked being alone. She heard ruckus of other lizards and.. phantoms?!? Fine, she wasn’t solitary, she was only with one other lizard, though! His name was Seph, he was a periwinkle and gold empty eye lizard.

“What’s happening?” Seph nervously yipped. He peeked outside and gasped. “Lizards! They are getting hurt! We have to help them!”

Strawberry Cream felt uncomfortable. She didn’t like other lizards, because they either hated her, or were stuck up in her nose. Seph wasn’t like that, though, so he was an exception. But Seph was social.

“We have got to help them!” Seph said. He turned to Strawberry Cream. “You can use your powers to help!”

Strawberry Cream flicked her tail. There was this power line, called the “Powers”, and she was one of them. She did not know the other powers though. She stood up. “Maybe I’ll meet another Power?” She wondered, creeping out. Sparkles appeared near her as she lifted herself from the ground and flew. She was the Air Power, meaning that even the slightest bit of wind will obey her orders to let her fly.

She ran to the battlefield, Seph following behind. Seph was the fastest lizard she has ever met, and Strawberry Cream has met A LOT of lizards. She always got traded. She shook her head to free the thought and demanded the wind to make some phantoms flow away. Lizards were looking at her, and at Seph who kept on distracting and scaring the phantoms so Strawberry Cream could blow them away.

Then, a blue lizard with X eyes, Sharkie as you know him, ran away from a large one. No matter who went in his way, he ONLY went for Sharkie. Sharkie slipped and fell in acidic water.

“Wait!” Strawberry Cream said. Too late, the phantoms still alive heard her and chased after her. She blew away some phantoms except the biggest.

“Sharkie!” Peaches called at the X eye. “No!”

Sharkie jumped out of the water. “It didn’t hurt, Peaches. I could breathe.. it was crazy!”

Strawberry Cream looked at the lizards. “Just run in your.. hideout!” She yelled. “I’ll handle them.”

Sharkie said, “If only the acidic water could leap on them all. Probably would hurt them. These guys are sensitive and-“

A wave of water washed over phantoms as they pooped in purple clouds. The biggest one, ran away.

“Woah,” Strawberry Cream said. “You look like a power.” She saw the mark in his chest became.. like.. a carving. That carving means that he recognizes his power, and he is an official power. A blue glow came out of Sharkie, and Peaches yelped.

“WHAT’S HAPPENING?” The pink X eye yelled.

“Your friend is becoming one of ten Powers.” Strawberry Cream felt wise saying it like that.

The pink X eye looked scared as she looked down at her chest. It was almost dawn, but she could see a slight mark. It looked like.. a star.

“Why do I have a star on my chest?!? It’s casting a slight glow!.” She yelled.

Strawberry Cream lifted her tail. The light yellow and pastel pink happy eye lizard, max level, squinted. “Hmm.”

Peaches was squirming in fear. “Chillax,” Strawberry said to relax her. “It’s your power. But.. it’s a strong one.”

Peaches looked up at her. “Um, what?”

“You have the power of..”
