The Outliers - Evolution to the World's Strongest

In a world where, unbeknownst to most of Earth's population, people with special powers exist, known as Meta-Humans. Such people belong to one of two opposing organizations. The first, known as Harmony, aims to coexist with regular society and protect them from superhuman or supernatural threats while remaining in the shadows. The second, known as Eden, aims to overthrow regular human society and establish a world where the super-powered reign supreme. These two opposing sides have been fighting for centuries, with countless conflicts scattered throughout history. The power balance between the two had remained even for a long time, and in order to tip the scales in their favor, Harmony began a certain project...the creation of nine orbs made using pure, natural power, known as Meta-Orbs. These orbs can grant a person unimaginable power, but right as the creation of these objects is completed, a conflict results in all nine Meta-Orbs being scattered throughout the world...and anyone who comes across them will gain immense power, even normal humans, therefore giving rise to the world's first unnatural Meta-Humans. And so, this ensues a vicious scramble between Eden and Harmony, as both sides look to find the people that come across the Meta-Orbs and take them into custody. These artificially-induced unnatural Meta-Humans are labeled as 'Outliers', and in the span of a few days, all of them have their lives irreversibly changed. Whether this change is for the better or worse, remains to be seen...

Chapter 48 - Helpless to Stop It

Point-of-View: Aurora Pretorius

———————————————————————————

I let out a drained sigh as I sat down on the ground, my hands covered in dirt. I felt numb and hollow inside, the tightness in my chest refusing to go away. I had just finished burying the bodies of the cheetahs, while piling up the human corpses by the trees, well away from the den.

I know the location of a pride of lions and lionesses not too far from here, I'll go there later and command them to come eat the bodies. What is wrong with humans? Humans killed my dad. Humans killed the cheetahs that I considered my family.

Why would they do such a thing?

I just can't understand, why?

Why?

I shook my head and stood up...I can't let myself drown in despair, I need to clean myself up and then find a new den for myself and Dot, far away from here. I've failed to protect so many, over and over again...I have to protect her, no matter what.
