"This is where it begins." Sliver said. Strips of mist curled off of him, rising up and evaporating in the rising sun. Within moments, he was completely gone. Where his feet had been, there was a thin layer of dust on the stairs, written in the dust, in large, loopy handwriting was the word "Sliver".

The young girl stepped out onto her front step. She ran across the busying road and onto the other side of the street. From a small stand she bought a large, red apple. She bit into it, and noticed a large bruise on the side. She out her finger against it, pushing in slightly. After a moment, she pushed in again, and this time to no resistance, the apple had healed itself. She smiled, and took a bite, licking her lips from the juice that escaped the corner of her mouth. she say a large, abandoned cathedral just down the road, the sun shone into the stained glass wall, reflecting bits of light on the sidewalk. She consentrated hard on the light, specifically on a blue tile, with her mind, she willed it to become silver, and it did. She sat and played with the reflections, even though the glass itself didn't change at all. She figured it must be even more enchanting inside. she found the door, the large silver handle gleamed in the golden sunlight. She reached out and curled her hand around it, pulling it open easily, though others bigger then her usually had to struggle for a bit. She walked inside, and noticed two men sitting there. She tried to turn away without them hearing, but she had not such luck as her foot ground across the ground. She didn't want to look like she had something to be guilty about, so she just turned back, waiting for a scolding or someone to yell. She didn't notice the colors of the glass spinning across the floor faster and faster as she got nervous.
