ECHOS

Nothing is more cunning than a person who has nothing to loose but noone is more determined than a parent who has everything to gain by giving all they have up for their child.

That is me. My name is Josephine Orpheius and the world deserved to know what it stood to lose with the so called 'cure' that Amariel claimed to provide to the children. I was blinded by the impossible craving or power. What better source of power than the youth. I was persuaded by a friend; a scientist so to speak.

He believed the world was getting more dangerous for the female children and i agreed. That was when Amariel formed. An institution claimed to work to improve enhance the senses. Not only to improve on them but to harness all possible capabilities involved with them.

There were many subjects but all of them faded into the background as five excelled. One being my daughter; Ruya. My dream given the enhanced ability of sight. Her ability marked by the gold ring around her iris' and specks of silver flecks that glow eerily in the dark.

A veil over her mind was lifted during the experiments wherein she has ability to read the deepest parts of one's mind directly by looking through to their souls. Her innocent looking eyes give off an allur of deception wherein one easily reveals the true or performs an act deeply imbedded in their mind.

Her sight was truly advanced by her ability to see what is most hidden to the human eye. A bird's eye view in every sense. The danger comes where her mind slowly occipital lobe began to degenerate. The more she saw, the more she lost.

Her right eye's sight is slightly impared and I fear she may get blind from these experiments. I only wonder what the others may be going through.

Each marked with a specific characteristic involved with the sense enhancement they have. Oraya has the ability to taste a lie in the air, trained to endure poison she is a biochemical weapon herself. Her words soft as silk and sweet as honey the manipulation is uncanning. Her lips a natural pigmented cherry colour marked with a heart shaped beauty mark at the bottom of her lip.

Cadence has amplified hearing, through the pulsation of sounds, different frequencies and echolocation itself. Her excessive exposure to amplified sound resulted in her sensitivity to daily sounds and tics that align which the scratching of branches against the window in the dead of night. Her ears an elvish shape with multiple piercings holes as a form of conditioning.

Helix with the scent of a hound. An explanation in itself which resulted in dizzy spells and excessive bleeding after prolonged exposure to scents. She traces the smallest scent for miles. Her nose marked with star freckles peppered across it.

Shard a child forced to grow up too fast. A body molded through excessive alternations between eating and the alternative. Her touch a simple caress that simply accesses every nerve. She feels every shudder, twitch, every sense of alarm. Excelled in human biology and noone knows what she taught all that is certain is she looks more haunted every time.

I could no longer turn a blind eye. Amariel is anything but beneficial. I only hope someone rescues the children before it's too late for I am done.
