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.

["What do you search for in life, issei? What gets you out of bed every morning? Well, I've found my answer, and I've decided to dedicate my whole life to it!" ] ______________________ Will and desire are what run this world. As without it, not a damn thing would get done. For those who desire nothing and rise out of their beds without purpose, they're truly dead. As they, without a reason to live, are only left to exist. It is ambition that shapes our destiny, and by it, our future is molded. For by will, you gain power. And by the power you gain the means to make your dreams a reality. That is the rule of thumb which the supernatural world runs by. Might makes right. For by the power of sacred gears, the user's will is manifested into world-shattering strength. So what does a man do when he wishes to change the world? He wills it. He sets off on a path that shall divide and alienate his character from the rest. He must be a cut above the rest, with a character that is eventually seen as the right way to live. For by having a will and drive greater than the rest, his heart shall impose the world to fit his image. That is how all leaders are born. It is how all gods are born. And, in this world which is at the center of the chaos made by those clamoring to stand at the top, he is the answer to all of our problems. ["You're calling yourself the solution to tyranny?"] ["No, I am not, but I can't stop what they believe and call me, only live up to it."] _______________ Let the story begin!

How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself?

[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?" "No, Sophie, you're the Dream Maker." _______________________ Sophie Hazelwood, sixteen, just makes it in the world with her confident aura and weird humour.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
