...Christopher Cernat Mr. Naccarato EWC 4U1 April 7th 2015 The Fall of Weston Everyone has an aura. Some shine so bright anyone can see you from a valley away. Radiance, that is what you are most likely contemplating currently. My name is Wallace of the Servitum house and I can truly see peoples aura. I work for the Velantis, the current ruling house and my position is officially throne advisor. I prefer not to lie to myself and to see it as executioner. Over the past nine years I have convicted over two thousand souls to their pitiful end, I have seen their auras gray with guilt then black, empty as their torso. My employer utilizes my skill, seeing it as a just method. Ryard Velantis is the current head, he owns me to say. After the reform of the Centis age, his house claimed all others, executing the ones they felt threatened by, and making use of the others as slaves mostly. My house, the Servitum, is rightful heir to the throne, but the oligarchy that is the Velantis house has kept the throne vacant for far too long. My birth rite is my gift, this aura, the perception is passed down my lineage. I however, am bestowed with a mutation of the gift; I can see how someone will die. It frightened me as a child, especially my mother’s glowing pink aura when she was carrying my youngest sister. I know now that is means death while in labour. My father raised us well, once part of the main council he gave us everything he could. Out of six children I was the only one sent...

... Throbbing pain on the temple, the ability to see being ripped away from you, aching pain all down, through your neck, and being demobilized are just some of the symptoms I’ve experienced. My first migraine greeted me when I was only three years old. I would approach my mom while holding my head, whining, “Mommy.. My head hurts!”. Although I’ve experienced migraines since I was three, they’ve become a part of my everyday life and a daily struggle for me the older I become. When I hit the ages of thirteen, fourteen, I was experiencing migraines four to five times a week; some would last one day and pick up the next, some I would have a day break in between them hitting and others would last, consecutively, up to three or five days long. My right side of my head throbs endlessly, I lose vision out of my right eye, or see blue dots out of my right eye, I’m not able to keep any food or liquids down, I can’t even get comfortable in a dark room to rest my eyes. When I keep my eyes open, the pain only gets worse; it felt as if my brain is about to pop out of my head. After having a migraine for five days, straight, my mom finally took me to my doctor. My doctor had recommended putting me on birth control to regulate my hormones; which worked for awhile, until the pain came back even harder than before. We went back to the doctor and they had put me on seizure medicine to relax the nerves on the back of my head, while staying on the birth control. These pills I required me to, well...
