"... Adrian?"
I know who had spoken before he even formulated the thought of speaking to me, though my "strenght" might be weaker than some of big hitters among the universe, my reach had reached levels not undestandable by anyone but me, I see more than others, I hear more than others, I know more than others, mana talks to me, whispers me things I should know, tells me what other's intention are and what they are most likly about to do.
Mana loves me, mana hopes I survive, because my death would lead to its disappearance from this universe, my connection to me having reached a point of no return, as I existed beyond the scope of normal magicians.
" Yes, Yao?" No voice came out of my mouth; instead, mana formulated the sound, no vibration of the atoms to carry the sound, no movements of air, none of this happened; mana had instead used itself to enact my will.

" I see you have... changed."
" Yes, quite so, I can feel, hear, know, far more than maybe all of you."
" Adri-"
" No, I won't let it corrupt me, knowledge is a power as much as it is a curse, a curse I am ready to bear."
"... You are but a child, you shouldn't have to see or know any of this."
" I stopped being a child long ago."
" Yes, I am quite aware of that."
My rainbow eyes towards him, he was the closest of the three, Wanda and Agatha preferring to remain a few steps back, as if distance could be of any concern to the current me.
" Is your endeavour finished? From the creation of Earth, this is the first day where no illness or injuries are present on it; that is quite the accomplishment."
" Far from it, Yao, what I made was a proof, I showed the world that I exist, that I am someone that can't be stopped by bad media or stupid things like that, what I did was to prove that none of that matters, what truly matters is the truth, and I will show the world it."
I disappear, no portal or wings needed, mana itself helping me move by simply changing the structure of my body to pure mana and placing it on another part of the earth.

Ignoring the notification, I watched below me, a sea of people screaming against the Daily Bugle, though JJJ was hated by a lot of people, he was able to captivate them to follow his words, not this time, though.
The number of people I had saved from death was enough to convince them I wasn't a fluke, I wasn't someone who faked his heroism, I wasn't someone who hid himself in a mask to hide his true intentions, but to be a symbol recognisable by everyone.
My descendants, though silent, were felt by everyone, not as imposing. I never wished to be seen like that; instead, it felt like a missing piece finally being found, something they weren't aware they never needed, suddenly being there, an existence that filled a hole they didn't even know.
The moment I touched the ground, I felt the people wishing to come and thank me, hug me, prostrate me, the last one felt unnecessary to me.
My eyes moved to all of them, scanning everyone's face as my mind worked to make me remember every single one of their names.
And then one dared to come forward.
A small child, part of whose hair was still regrowing after I had healed him from a brain tumour and had removed the side effects of the chemotherapy, he was still wearing the hospital gown but with pants and shoes, the smile on his face as he saw me felt me with happiness, the sound his steps made filling me with life, the sound of his laugh making every second I had spent to heal with worth it.
" Thank you, Mister Leshy."
" No, thank you, Kevin, thank you for being who you are, for being so full of life, I hope you use your time well."
" I will become a hero like you one day."
" That is a beautiful dream, wanna learn a secret?"
He immediately nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
So I walked to him, raised him like I always do with Mary to make her reach my eye level and did something that would change the world forever, though I wasn't aware at the time.
Was it even a secret when, thanks to mana, every single being within a kilometre could hear me? I could even feel the cameras pointed at me, but they didn't matter.
" My name is Adrian," I said as I recreated the mask on my face, making everyone gasp at the revelation.
" And I was an orphan just like you."
