Your power isn't much interesting. Some people can soar through the air at ludicrous speeds.

[WP] The current rulers of the galaxy exert their dominance by showing showing new races a glimpse of their terrifying nature inevitably either driving the unfortunate victims mad or causing them to retreat in fear. It does not work on humans however, they are used to it | Life had a unifying feature.
It didn't matter if your species evolved in the oceans of a moon on a gas giant, or in the crevices of a planet tidal-locked with its star, it will always have one critical trait:
Fear.
Fear is what keeps species in check, what ensures that they don't kill themselves in foolish endeavor... | Within a room containing the world leaders of thousands of intergalactic species, a lone creature with six arms, fangs for a mouth, and goo secreting from every part of its body stands in the center. All eyes are on it. The air is stiff and tensions are high. For this creature is the galactic emperor who had been claim... | 2019-06-11T10:06:47 | 2019-06-11T09:54:55 | 363 | 88 |

It does not work on humans however, they are used to it | *"What do you fear, creature?"*
I blinked, for lack of any more constructive response, given the restraints. This wasn't the first time the shadow before me had asked this question, but it was clearly becoming more confused and frustrated with each attempt. Each time it asked the question, it ignored my answer, then s... |
Since the universe has existed, only one species has ever attempted to claim an entire galaxy as its own. The R'kenan Empire was able to span countless star systems subjugating thousands of species all by taking advantage of a simple evolutionary quirk.

[WP] You are the King's must trusted advisor. Your advice has saved the kingdom from devastation many times. There's just one problem: You're actually trying to sabotage the King with the worst advice you can think of, but it always somehow works out. | Dear Diary,
I hate this new guy we took on as king. Today I told him to charge the people double gold coins for our crops because we need to do some renos on the castle wall and that's not cheap. He agreed. What an idiot. They'll hang him for this for sure.
Dear Diary,

[WP] You are an immortal that got sentenced to permanent burial over 1000 years ago. Today a team of archaeologists just dug you up. | Most people don't consider the small problems that come with immortality. It's always about how you'll end up knowing so much, or that you're pretty much guaranteed that you'll end up buried alive, but nobody really thinks about the annoying stuff.
Sure, being buried alive sucks and you run out of ways to amuse yourse... | I gave a terrific wheeze as I stepped out of the tomb, the joints in my feet giving loud cracks, my shoulders heavy and aching.

[WP] A person’s superpowers will unlock when the conditions are right. The good thing about this is that a lot of people’s powers unlocked during the zombie apocalypse. The bad thing? There’s now a lot of superpowered zombies everywhere. | A lot of people were convinced the Bite wasn't that big of a deal. A lot of people thought their power could handle it: fire, lasers, ice, sound, wind, earth, all of it manipulated in slightly different ways. A lot of people thought they could fight through whatever came their way, or at least protect themselves.
A l... | The front door of the sedan closed with a satisfying *thunk*. I stepped out onto the pavement, taking a deep breath of humid air. It smelled like falling leaves and worms and dirt and diesel fumes. Nothing rotten. Nothing dead. It was a good start to an otherwise asinine mission.

[WP] A fortune teller foretold that twins would be born where one was evil and the other was good. A year later, a woman gave birth to a boy with horns and bat wings, and a girl with angel wings and a halo. The boy was sent away, while she and her husband raised the girl. They kept the wrong one. | They called it Delphi.

[WP] You’re an immortal 30-year-old-looking serial killer who was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison. After 100 years people started asking questions, but now it’s been 400 years and you’re starting to outlast the prison itself. | The funny thing about humans, is that they are just so innately curious. You tell a human not to go see what is in the next valley over, and they’ll do it. I’m not an exception to that, I mean, legally I’m not human, I can thank the Hague for deciding on that front. Of course, they decided that after the whole Sarajevo... | Kill or be killed. Under those terms, the immortal man can be king.

[WP] From your first memories, you've always had a still, small, voice inside your head that gave you the 'right' answer whenever any question arose. The answers have always been peaceful, factual, and fair. This voice has gotten you far. But today, instead of an answer, the voice screamed in terror | "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," is the only tune that exists now in my head.
My inner voice changed from a small whisper to a booming, hoarse voice.
My heart is racing and my eyes hunt for danger.
In front of me a woman with red hair, navy T-shirt, pentagram necklace and blue jeans.
I ignore her, as I ... | **so I altered the prompt a bit but hope you enjoy!**
My hands trembled as I stared at the red light. My fingers drummed on the wheel, cursing the traffic lights for changing so slow.

“Will I be late?,” I whispered
