"Ahhh shit here we go again." I said getting to my feet.

"Let's see if they got anything fixed while I was gone." I said to myself heading north until I came across a road and followed it to town.

Looking around the town and seeing everyone stressed and unhappy I sighed and said "looks like leadership didn't do jack shit..."

"Well looks like they are gonna get a rude awaking when I show everyone how lazy they have been." I said cracking my knuckles and walking thru town as I waved my hands causing potholes to rewind back to their complete state. A snap of my fingers cause the lawns and plant life to grow and bloom. And with a clap of my hands I blew away all the dread, dispare and fear.

"One down and a few million more to go...." I said catching my breath after the exertion of will. " I am gonna need to train up some apprentices, I do not want to do all this by myself."

"We kind of need you to do that though." A voice said from both my shoulders.

Turning my head side to side I could see the Visage of a demon on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

The figures then began speaking in turns in their own voices but as one continuous speech.

"Those with powers like ours must be used only to maintain balance. "

"My job is to scare away the dark so the light can shine out of people" said the angel.

"My job is to scare away the light so the light can be guided to those who need it most" said the devil.

"Wait aren't your sides supposed to be at war?" I said not quite understanding.

"No no no, that's my brother from another mother why would I do that." Said the angel.

"Seriously I love my sisters even though we walk opposite paths." Confirmed the Devil.

With that they both appeared to freeze in place then start to gently rock back and forth.

In one voice they said "humanity was always meant to find the balance for all."

"Soooooo I'm not supposed to find apprentices?" I asked surprised.

"Nope you just need to shine when you need and reflect when they need. That is how they will find you." They said with smiles. "Now let's get to work we have alot to do."
