Rise Of The Outcasts

In a world where the supernatural hides from humanity behind a veil, mages control everything from the shadows, and monsters run rampant, Outcasts, beings rejected by both the human and supernatural worlds with the ability to nullify magic, stand alone as the last line of defense against the dark forces that threaten a world they no longer belong in. Constantine St. John, an average college student, has his life turned inside out when he awakens as an Outcast on his 21st birthday. Now, he has to navigate this new world that despises him and his kind. Together with his new allies, the assassin Kento Salvatore and the firebrand Jane Winchester, they undertake a perilous journey to Eden, the City of Origin, to take back control of their fate and, maybe, give the Outcasts a place to belong in.

The Bet

Helena stood before the Assembly, the air thick with tension as the Elders glared down at her from their elevated seats. The grand chamber, with its high ceilings and walls lined with ancient relics, felt more oppressive than ever. She could feel their disappointment radiating toward her like a tangible force, and it took every ounce of her willpower to keep her composure.

"Helena," Elder Graves began, his voice heavy with a mixture of sternness and regret. "The Elders have reviewed your report, and frankly, we are displeased. We expected better from you, especially after all that the Assembly has invested in your training and advancement."

Helena's jaw clenched, but she nodded, accepting the reprimand. She had known this was coming. Her actions on the mission had been impulsive, driven by rage rather than reason, and now she was facing the consequences.
