It is a rare affliction in my world where one is said to be cursed twice: once for dying, and again for bothering our gods by inconveniencing them. They all have... abilities. Gifts they awaken with. These abilities are not widely recorded, as the twice-cursed are not socially accepted in any way. I used to believe myself slighted, cheated out of living. I did not ask to be damned. I did not- I didn't ask to bring down my entire lineage.
[He sucks in a breath, biting down his emotion before it escapes him in full, but his tone betrays him: there is bitterness there, anger. Resentment at his circumstances and a struggle to accept them, despite how he may try.
And he is trying, but every time he thinks things can't get worse, they do.]
Apparently, there is more meaning to the name of the affliction than I realized. They are cursed in life, and in death, they— we rise as Revenants. And... I have realized just now, earlier, that my unique set of abilities are what truly made me an abomination.
