He lowered his eyes, as if to say sorry. "Unfortunately, your powers cannot be taken away, but they can be controlled and harnessed to do some good in this country. I can help you, if you'd like. You don't have to be a hero if you don't want to, but you should at least learn to control your gifts in a safe environment." "And why should we trust you?" Theo countered. Indi elbowed him in the ribs, scolding him for being so abrupt and rude. Maddix glared at his brashness, but she had to agree with him. They had no reason to trust this stranger. "Because," Everett said with a hopeful face, "I just saved your lives." He had a good point. "Besides, you are all a lot more dangerous than I am." ********************************** Power is a raw, untamable commodity that few can control. Even fewer are granted such potential. But those who are granted such capability must be wary. This has become the reality for six teenagers living in Dorlos, a country held in a malevolent king's iron grip. They cannot risk exposing themselves by using their powers but, under masks, they are able to save people's lives and hopefully, save their beloved homeland from continual danger. To their dismay, this one power outlet could prove to be their downfall. They are suddenly thrust into a world of lies, secrets, and betrayal. With enemies in every direction, they are forced to live by one simple rule: kill or be killed. Will they buckle under the pressure or stand strong? It is a fight for complete power, and they are stuck in the middle of it. ****************** Please make sure to read the "Before you start HAU" chapter first
