It's not uncommon for those with abilities to have severe problems with the past.

Risonol would have liked to have been an exception to that. He isn't quite fond of angst or dark pasts. It is...quite annoying...

But he has seen his fair share of red.

His past as a child was nothing that could really bother him now. He threw a tantrum and left, and that was the end of that.

But there was a short time, before he had shed his past name and chose a new preference in form...He, who had been born a she, had one memory that was both detested and yet held onto in triumph. And here, while sitting in the dining hall to replenish the calories he required after a long day of staying wired into his electronics, he may sometimes pick up conversation in melancholy or angered tones about the past...and he stirred his coffee while remembering...

Risona Core, newly liberated from her spiteful family, only 15 and wandering the streets, still testing the limits of her powers that she had finally started to use without restraint...

Young girl in clothing that didn't fit her body very well anymore, long hair halfway white as snow, slowly beginning to take over the brown color that she loathed. And she looked as if she were an easy target...

Rise took a sip from his coffee, and smirked to himself. It wasn't hard to remember what had happened...

Struggling, but being pulled back by the hair...And she knew her assailant. "You owe me for helping you escape ealier." Oh, perhaps she did, since he had hidden her when she was nearly caught for stealing. She knew that her telekinesis wouldn't work here, but before she could think of anything else, she was picked up and swung around to be pinned to the brick wall of the alleyway. But beside her...the perfect weapon...

She was just close enough to draw out the electric power...

The taste of coffee drew Rise out of his reverie for the moment. Really now, he shouldn't spoil the lovely taste of his favorite blend with that memory just yet, because...

The power jumped from the power box into her body, but just letting the shock hit her assailant wasn't enough for her. The only justice she thought was worthy of filthy pigs was death...and what better than for him to die by her hand...for it should be time that people realized that "victims" are not their trophies.

She amplified the power and mingled it with her telekinesis, burning the air into white hot plasma that flared out from her body.

She remained unscathed, but her attacker was left dead with burnt and mysterious cuts. Surprisingly, the plasma had also made cuts that caused splatters of blood...

And Rise could still remember the disgusting metallic taste on his tongue as he set the empty coffee cup back onto the saucer.

He believed he paid off his debt well. For the favor of not letting him be caught, he had rid of the world one more disgusting example of a human being.

It seemed that a refill was in order to wash off the taste of blood in his mouth, however.

For the #Silver--Lights Colors of the Light event.

I DO aim to do all of them.

Here is the color Red...an event of the past that involves a red ledger...but not paid back in kind.

I had trouble writing this, because Rise isn't one who could owe some sort of very large debt. Unless you count him oweing a lot of money that people don't know he even owes...he does shop-lift things a lot, and only grew to become very good at stealing what he wants from stores. (Oh, yeah, and maybe I shouldn't write at midnight...)
