"And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. ~ Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." "This... is not the end..." he tells me in a weak but sure tone, making it hard for me to doubt even in a time as dark as this... There's something more in his eyes. "He's gone back in time and killed them before they were Guardians..." I say. "All except you... He does not know of your origins... Keep it that way... And find them." There's something in his voice that tells me he's not talking about the Guardians. "...Find who?" "Find the girl of the golden flower... Find the girl who never misses... And find the man who tames the beast of the night..." He speaks with deep meaning behind his words. My eyebrows are pulled together in thought but also devastation because of the life leaving his body... I can't help but be confused however at his odd words... He takes my hand in both of his and shuts his eyes... a golden light burning through our palms as the world around me disappears and everything shuts down. I feel like I am falling but also unconscious... Until my head hits grass along with my back and I don't know if I am dead or alive. ~ A Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons tale ~

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Did you ever try to find out if you had "superpowers" when you were a kid? What if people with powers actually exist, and they have just been hiding for fear of the consequences of their revelation? In Gifted, which is the first part of a trilogy, people with special abilities--like psychokinesis, pyrogenesis, and other amazing powers--reveal themselves to the world en mass on 4 September 2010. The scientific world is rocked where it is discovered that these abilities are actually explainable natural phenomena, and the appearance of powered people takes the world by storm. However, beneath the surface, a shadowy underworld psuedo-government is quickly rising to assert that the powered ones must be destroyed for the common good, and some people are listening.
