The evening sky stretched out in hues of violet and deep blue, scattered with a few shimmering stars.
Aarav stood atop the rooftop of his college dorm, his breath steady but heart racing.
His hands hovered in front of him, fingers twitching as he tried to will the invisible threads of space to bend at his command.
The Experiment
He reached out and focused on a small streetlamp across the campus.
With a flick of his wrist, the light bent—its glow warped, flickering as if reality itself was bending.
But the lamp post didn't just flicker—it shuddered, then snapped.
A sudden crack echoed through the night.
Aarav's eyes widened. He hadn't meant to break it.
The Ripple
A distant rumble vibrated under his feet.
The stars above seemed to pulse faster.
The air shimmered faintly around him.
Aarav's mind raced.
Was this power a gift, or a ticking time bomb?
The Warning
His phone buzzed—an alert from the university security system.
"Unexplained spatial disturbances detected near campus."
Aarav clenched his jaw.
He realized that every small step forward might come with unforeseen consequences.
Reflection
He looked up at the stars.
Each one a massive burning ball of plasma, millions of miles away.
Yet, somehow, their energy was inside him.
A vast, ancient power he barely understood.
Decision
Closing his eyes, Aarav whispered to the night:
"I have to learn.Before it's too late."
