"Our world is neither hostile or friendly, it is simply indifferent" ~Anonymous
We’re indifferent. Life will never be the same as long as we believe that. We can’t care about the ones we knew before. All we have is the future and if we don’t do what we have to, there won’t be one.
8 children. 1 future. Each of them has been chosen to protect a power, a power so important that if one ceased to exist life as we know it could become extinct. They were definitely not picked at random, in reality they’re all descendants of of the 14 guardians of the universe that have given up their powers to save humanity. This way when one of their grandchildren was ready, they could obtain what belonged to them. When the children are joined together things go haywire. This is never what they wanted. As they come to terms with their powers and get ready for the war that surges ahead something happens that changes everything and everyone. And there’s no way to stop it.
There was only one question we could ask. Where were the other 6 children?

Hypnotic
I've learned that there will always be someone hungry for power, and they will do anything to get the power they want. Even if that means hurting people around them or even then self, they'll take anything even your rightful right to control your own mind and body. They'll take away your right to speak and use you to gain that power they seek. They'll make everyone turn against you, have you lose everything your learned to love. And once they get you to your breaking point they'll have you under their control. Once they reach that power they want, they'll use anything or anyone to keep everything In line. So Are you power hungry? Or Are you going to help me stop those who are power hungry? You decide

"You can't rely on other people's kindness in this world. It don't exist." Normal people are like oblivious little ants, just working their way around, carry food, part of a bigger picture. People are so bland and mundane, each of them trying to be like the others. I suppose I'm no different- I'm trying to fit in too. However, a crippling obsession to avenge my only friend's death is getting in the way of that. If I want to get on with my life, I need to learn to come to terms with my past in a way that's less likely to get me killed.Complete
Differential
Different- 1) Not the same as another, or each other; Unlike in nature, form or quality. I thought being different was a good thing. You know, the whole 'Im not conforming to you' deal. I thought I was unique, my own person. Apparently not everyone thinks being different is a good thing. They're afraid of my difference. Maybe it's my long white hair? Or my glowing silver eyes? Or it could just be because.... I'm not fully human. I tried to keep it a secret. Really I did. I knew the consequence of something like this getting out. So my secret stayed a secret. All until the day the little girl walked out in front of the truck.Complete

Universal Warfare
Hi there, I'm JD, a 31-year-old Venezuelan-Spanish Economist living in Barcelona with my Russian (pro-peace) wife Anna and our two kittens; we met in Italy eight years ago, and almost since then we have been working on this project. During our careers we've worked with people from South America to Japan, from Australia to Canada, from South Africa to Norway, the characters in the novel are based on people I was lucky enough to meet along the way who left me with invaluable lessons which we feel the duty and privilege of sharing with our fellow humans, hopefully sharing what cosmologists call "Space Bias". There are seven main protagonists each one with their own chapter - which can be read in whichever order you prefer, - two of them in present tense and the rest in past, it's all part of the story. They all have mixed backgrounds such as a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, a survivor of the Rwanda massacre, a Colombian with Lebanese and Portuguese ancestry, a Danish whose mother is German, a Jewish lady married to a Muslim man she met in Jerusalem, an Anglo-Indian guy inspired in a way in Orwell - character name is Arthur such as Orwell's real name, - and last but definitely not least a Turkish Muslim bisexual woman for which a Lebanese friend for work is providing help; my friend is working on her Ph.D. on gender inequality in politics, especially in countries with religious civil wars that have moved from the streets to parliament. The story's Universe - 7 trillion light-years, approximately 78 times the size of our observable universe and 252 times the size of a Hubble sphere - provides more than enough civilizations to present dystopias that can serve as warnings for the future - ideally in the style of 1984, A Brave New World, or Fahrenheit 451, - as well as utopias where we find A.E.I - Artificial Emotional Intelligence - along with futuristic ways of understanding childhood, education, and life itself.Complete
