Moonstone: Speed of a hero. Anime speed

2
You possess incredibly fast movement.
Used by Pal, Created by RNGrant.
(You must actively and obviously be using A moonstone gem.)

Moonstone touches, or holds in her hand one of the gems of her namesake causing it to glow. She moves quickly emanating a soft glow. If one other touches the moonstone she uses as a focus, then move with her speed, surrounded by the same glow.

Moonstone uses her power to travel quickly. Her speed is a strain on her, which she transfers to a gem, usually one of the many built into her suit.

This power comes from moonstone being willing to be a hero, and a hero above all else.

This costs Pal a bit of his humanity, as the person that is Pal becomes less so that Moonstone can be more. His ability to enjoy food and drink. But that price is small next to even one human life.

Hopefully this will be the last thing that becoming moonstone forces him to give up. [It won’t be]

*The idea of the cost is taken from Yuki Yuna is a hero and similar anime where the power of a magical girl comes at the price of their bodily functions slowly being consumed by their patrons in exchange for power.
