Divinity Says ✶ Clark Kent
© goldenveils, 2024

Fate threaded destiny in between deft fingers, dealing out sentences with no remorse. Sibyl Palaiologou had understood this from the moment her grandmother had first revealed the truth about her powers. Her fate, her destiny, had been determined the moment she born. No matter how many times they called it a blessing, the word only masked the truth of what she was born with— a curse. To know someone's fate, to know their destiny was damning on the soul, and it was much too often that Sibyl couldn't do a single thing about it.

It always skipped a few generations, her grandmother had told her. It was something Sibyl's great great grandmother had been born with as well; a magical anomaly. Witches with fate touched visions. Strong and powerful, yet somehow vulnerable beyond measure. At first, most things Sibyl saw seemed to lack clarity. It came to her in bits and pieces— too colluded to fully understand, but clear enough to assume. As time passed, what the fates made her see became less ambiguous and more frighteningly clear. Yet despite that, they were still beyond her control. She had figured out one thing though, the more confusing a vision is; the worse the outcome. It had happened too many times to be a coincidence. So, she had taken her hypothesis for fact. With no one there to help her figure her powers out, she was left to navigate them on her own— after all her grandmother was no longer there to share her wisdom.

This is how she found herself back in Metropolis; using every ounce of her savings to buy back her childhood home. The home that had been seized by the bank only a few days before her grandmother's passing. Left with nothing but a home— now just a house, she supposed—full of memories and ghosts, Sibyl finds herself alone with nothing but her magic to keep her company. She was alone and she despised it.

Adopting a routine seemed to help a bit. Wake up, eat, write, patrol, eat, patrol, sleep. There was only so much she could do considering who she shared the "hero" mantle with. Yet, despite that, she was grateful for the purpose that filled her when she helped civilians. Her and Superman seemed to come to an unofficial agreement in terms of who did what. While, her alter ego wouldn't mind going after bigger fish— it seemed that the alien had it handled.

Routine was good, healthy even. Despite her loneliness, Sibyl didn't seem to mind it anymore.. She was comfortable, even. Until Fate touched the threads once more, working and tugging the ends until they fit just right, disrupting her life by sending her a vision of something she could never imagine.

A flash of green. Superman.

Death.
