Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

What’s your superpower?

*** EXTENSIVE BACKSTORY ALERT***

If it’s not your cup of tea, skip to the end.

~~~~

There is an ancient temple in a far away land, long forgotten. Wander through the desert and gaze upon it it, a low sandstone building shimmering with mirage. Descend the crumbling stairs and breath the dust of time immemorial. There is a long, low-ceilinged room, appearing to be empty. But trace a lost rune on the sandy floor, and yet another staircase will be disclosed, leading to depths unprobed for centuries.

No light can be taken on the winding stair, and the ghosts of memory flit about, driving fear into the hearts of even the most courageous. But at the bottom there appears an ethereal glow, beckoning you. This is what your ancestors sought and found at long last. This is what you have been called here to do.

The White Crystal, Anarthia, greatest treasure of ages past. Whoever touched it became greater than they were. Some became strong, some wise. Some could manipulate the world around them. And some were gravely disappointed.

The power of Anarthia was used in moderation and used well, a chosen few protecting mankind from the evils of the world. But then the lust for power overcame the people. More and more wanted the gift of Anarthia, and war broke out among them. Brother fought against sister, husband against wife. Without unity the people became weak and were overcome by the woolly mammoths and saber toothed tigers. Forced to migrate far way, the White Crystal, Anarthia, fell until oblivion.

Until now.

What will you become?

3) Eagle (sorry, Emerald) (SERIOUSLY, Jarvis?)

4) Phoenix! Not the Arizona one. 

Also, your backstory was great! The first part reminded me of Minecraft for some reason.

Haha, I was actually thinking about the desert temples when I wrote that.

Your superpower is manipulation of earth. You can control rock and dirt, cause earthquakes, and are incidentally rather a better gardener.

You have the power of being able to turn back time, within a day. This isn't the same as time travelling because everything else travels back with you, though you are the only one with any awareness of what is going on.

Haha, thanks! I was actually trying to make it cliche and overdramatic but I guess it worked xD.

And your power is extreme luck! You can do risky or dangerous things without getting hurt, guess answers on math tests and get them right, win many contests, and get amazing hands in card games to name a few.
