The Wanderers

The surgery isn’t life altering in itself. I was still the same girl underneath after they wiped away my wounds and bestowed me with new ones. In fact, they left my body alone for the most part. My bones, muscles, and physical condition were improved. They heightened my senses to seemingly impossible strengths, but I could already feel, hear, smell, and see better than most. True, I became stronger, faster, and deadlier, but I already could fight before. I wouldn’t object to my physical improvements alone. The part that changes one forever is what they do to your brain. You learn to kill. You are forced to obey. Disobedience not only goes against our nature, but it results in pain. I am a trained assassin for a group that calls themselves the Suppressors. Obedience is my nature, and I know that if I rebel that I will suffer.The thing about Suppressors is that despite our superhuman improvements, we are afraid. We are afraid of our masters, The Associates, and we are terrified of Mr. Rowan, the man that designed our improvements. So when he tells us to slaughter his enemies, we obey, no matter what. If it were my choice, I’d lay down every weapon, and walk away from it all. But I am a slave and can not do this. My name is General Tigris Hyde. Most people just call me Teig though.I suppose I am no longer general now that I have openly decided to go against my own wisdom and challenge the Suppressors. Believe me when I say that I suffered the consequences.
