A Story Told...
History sometimes is quite different than what is written in books. We try our best to piece it together but in the end, the only ones who truly know what happened have long since faded in the sands of times. For Sloane the past was more than just something that had been lost. It was something she buried herself, covering it up along with her own sins, hoping that the mistakes would never repeat themselves. However, things that are buried hardly ever stay that way.
A long time ago there was only the dark and the dark was everything. However, it was empty and alone and it sought out companionship in its own way creating others, pieces of itself. The greatest of these was a small piece of light that sprung into the world and later became known to the people of Asmiara as the Goddess Aine. Also the light or the creator of the race tha would later spread across the planet, the race known as witches.
Aine created the world and she wanted people inside her world just like her father had created inside the Void. So, she created six concepts magic, imagination, fate, nature, life, and death, ideas she believed would be needed to guide her new race. She created the first witches and divided them into twelve clans. Six clans ran directly by the creative concepts, mirrors of her brothers and sisters in the Void. The destructive concepts of decay, disease, war, chaos, madness, and manipulation. However, the other six clans were ran by those chosen by the destructive concepts who had duties within the Void thus would not always be around to run their clans.
In the beginning they lived within the confines of a great circular city. Each clan running apart of the city, but all clans coming together to make decisions for the whole. However, no one had more influence than creative concepts worshiped like gods, they were the ones who actually were in charge. What they decided became law as they formed what would become the basis for their society. Being the most connected beings to Aine and her vision.It was with in this world that Sloane was born to the concept of magic herself, Ceri Lavoie.
Of Light and Dark...
It wasn't this fact that made her different. Sure, being the child of a creative concept was cool. It would be whom her father was that would make her unique. Her father was Narya, the destructive concept of madness,and the mirror concept of her mother. She was for all purposes the first and only child ever born to both a creative concept and a destructive concept. Whether a fluke, fate, or just extremely rare who is to say. But, it gave her an interesting heritage to say the least. One that gave her both her parents powers.
However, it would be her mother she seemed to want to be like. She feared the darker part of nature, the part that whispered to her the mad parts of people's mind and wanted to push them towards them. Her father and mother both loved her but she seemed closer to her mother, admiring her bold, happy mother and the light that seemed to shine from her the very light she feared she didn't have, fearing that she would be more destructive than creative and worrying what that meant for the world around her.
She decided to hone her powers from her mother not realizing how much this would hurt her father who always seemed to her eyes to be immune to such things. A warlord of the Void he seemed to her sometimes craved of stone. Yet, despite this she was promised to wed the future head of the Giese clan, a dark clan. She took this to mean despite her efforts she was closer to the dark than the light. And despite caring about him she bulked at the idea trying to move away from anything that might pull her closer to her destructive powers.
She was drawn to Deva despite this and perhaps even loved him. She had grown up with him and his twin brother Istvan. Deva was a serious child and his powers made it hard for him. He was able to feel everything, the earth, the birds, people, the pain of flowers being cut. Some say it drove him mad. He was able to keep it together and they even had a son, Yuriy who seemed closer to his father who was better at showing his emotions than his mother who kept it all locked up fearing what would happen if she ever lost control.
A Path Towards Destruction...
However, she grew closer and closer to his brother starting an affair with him and while witch law said she could marry both she choose to run away with Istvan leaving Deva feeling hurt and betrayed by the two people who meant the most in the world to him. The pain he felt made him feel the pain of the word even more of perhaps no longer try to fight against the feelings so he decided he would rewrite the world and make it so nothing ever hurt again. It would destroy the wold as they knew gathered followers and an army and with the power to change things at a base level and being a dragon, the son of the first dragon, created by magic herself it looked like he might succeed.
The creative concepts knew they had to do something before things got out of hand. However, Ceri, who viewed his mother as her best friend and sort of daughter didn't want to kill him. She loved him and believed with time, he would heal and learn to control his powers but he needed time and distance from the pain of the world so she sought out another answer to solve the problem other than killing him and convinced the only concepts to allow her too. They agreed because it meant so much to her.
Ceri found a spell that would allow her to create another world. One she could send Deva to where he could exist while he learned to use his powers and the pain of the outside world could fade away till he got a grip on things. There were only a few problems. One being she didn't want him to be locked away alone mostly because it would be cruel and secondly because how would he learn to control his powers dealing with the emotions of others if there were no others. And there was a price for the spell it required a great deal of power so much so that if Ceri did the spell it would wipe her from existence. She knew the world would go on without her and Aine would feel the gap of her no longer being there some how and was more than willing to give up her life to save his.
However, she was told by someone there was a way to keep from fading completely. If each of the concepts gave up a piece of themselves they could all survive and the spell could be completed. She went to each of them and begged them to help her and they agreed to do the spell because they didn't know what would happen if magic vanished forever and because they cared for her and wanted to help her. Sloane got wind of it and she realized how awful she had been and she wanted to make amends for everything but she wasn't sure how.
Istvan and her decided the two of them would go too and help him to learn to control his powers. It would take time and he would be mad at them for awhile but in time he would come to forgive them and that the three of them could be together she was going to stop running from her feelings for Deva and take their son with them and they could exist in this world till they could heal what was broken with him. She went to her mother saying she wanted to go and they found out when the spell needed to be done and set up everything for that date. The only time it would work for a very long time.
The Best Laid Plans...
Everything was planned out and everyone knew their roles. However, nothing would go as planned. Sloane was suppose to met Istvan and they were suppose to go with her son waiting for her to come and get him. However, she couldn't find him anywhere. She got wind that one of Deva's followers believing Deva would want it had taken Istvan. She raced to find him before something horrible happened but was too late. They had killed him and scattered his body across the world.
Witches believe that you must be intact to go into the after life or you would be condemned to wander the darkness and not be allowed to return to the goddess. It was the ultimate insult. They believed Deva wanted this she knew better even mad he would never wish such a fate on his brother. She had no idea what to do. She needed to be at the ritual yet she needed to put Istvan's body back together. So, she decided to go to the ritual and hope she could help Deva quicker or stop it from happening. She knew Deva would do anything to save his brother that fate even stall his plans.
She hoped that if worst came to worst she could tell him in the other world what happened and maybe he would make amends with her they could come out using the spell she had been taught to end the world form inside and come out find the parts and send him to the goddess. However, she would be too late. She rushed to the ritual fearing she was too late. They had to start even though she wasn't there hoping she would make it but time was not on their side. She left her son outside the door ready to call to him if they could go without any danger but not wanting to risk his life if they couldn't.
End of an Era...
However, inside the ritual was going wrong as well. The ritual was only suppose to take a piece from each of the concepts leaving them weaker but still as they were for the most part. Instead it took their immortality and their lives to create the world. The concepts all died and no one knew if they would ever be able to return of if that would be it. Sloane was horrified she couldn't bring Deva back unless she was inside. Her mother was dead. Her lover dead and scattered and her son mad at her for the lost of his father. Her whole world fell apart in a matter of hours leaving her confused and lost and unsure what to do.
The world it would seem would be lost as well. The creative concepts had served as their guides and leaders and suddenly they were gone. People began to fight for power trying to fill their shoes. Dreams of power made clans fight against each other those within fight for control it was a mad house and Sloane had no way to fix it. She tried but people wouldn't see reason and she watched as the clans went to war and everything seemed lost.
People suffered and some blamed Deva and without him they looked towards her son as a target for that anger. She took him away hiding him away and returned to find some of the clans gone either wiped out or left because of the fighting many clans so small it seemed they to might vanish. She realized she needed to do something less her kind die out. The first of Aine's children, the race she created herself that other races had sprung from could not perish.
She returned to try and talk reason in them. Some people saw what she was saying and she gathered those up and set them off to catch up with later. The rest were lost in greed, stupidity, and the promise of power by their own minds. So she called a meeting claiming a contest to decide who would led. The once great city that had sheltered all the clans would become their tomb. She saw what was in their hearts and minds. So when they showed up she sealed the gates closed behind them locking them in using her own powers to ensue none would get out,
Locking the Past Up...
It would be the first and only time she used the power granted to her by her father. She drove them all mad. Speeding up their ambitions and twisting them till they tore each other apart. Her destructive power used to end them as she watched in silence both in awe and fear of what she was capable of when the dust settled she walked away leaving them where they laid the last witches to live there.
She set out with those who choose to leave and rewrote history claiming their were only six clans and divided them up. She found them a new place to settle created them a new history and started them on a new path. However, she wanted to keep the city safe and the truth with it. Not wanting anyone to know but fearing they might need to she went to a friend of hers, the elf king, Kolya.
Elves were those born of the Void and creatures of the natural world in a matter of speaking, who embraced their darker nature. Kolya cared for her very much and claimed someday she would embrace her father's powers and join them as his queen. He was also the child of Deyanira, the partner destructive concept to her father. She asked him if his people would stay on the island and protect the city, keeping its secrets for her and he agreed. He was never able to tell her no when she wanted something. Thus the island became the home of the elves and they became the keepers of the city with her checking in on it from time to time.
The elves did spells to keep people away. And in time stories of the islands were spread and humans came to believe gods lived there and it was holy ground keeping many away and in time it was forgotten by many others forbidden, and some holy ground. Time moved on and she raised her son who never forgive her for what happened to his father. He grew and made his own way with her returning to visit him from time to time.
She wandered the world trying to find the remains of Istvan's body to no avail. She refused to settle anywhere believing she didn't deserve peace for her role in the whole mess. Centuries passed and her kind thrived. They spread out across the world, the ruling race as it were forming nations within nations. They kept to the stories she had left them coming to believe they were the truth and those that knew choose to keep quiet letting fate take them where it would.
The Past Returns...
Some say the past can't remain buried forever and in her case that seemed to be true. The truth started to come out through many events including, for the first time all six creative concepts being reborn at the same time. Magic would ascend taking back her powers and memories. Others would begin to ascend as well and the past would come to light causing her to run into fate who convinced her it was time to bring it all back
Deva released from his prison and Magic finding all the pieces of Istvan's body and putting his soul back. His soul having possessed her brother who agreed to help him so he would no longer wander lost in the dark. She sought him out to help her talk to Deva before he tried to rewrite the world again and they would succeed but he would get upset when he found out it would cost his new friend. A girl who had been locked up with him once when he escaped and caused havoc in her world and she had returned him to his prison at the cost of her own freedom.
The girl Adalira and Deva had grown close over the centuries locked up together. She had been cursed to do the spell and if he moved from his path it would be time to pay the piper. There is a force raising changing her world. She needs all the help she can get. Istvan wants to die and return to the goddess the very thought makes her sad. She feels like she is losing them both again. She is now facing the past. Trying to fix what she changed share what she knows with the world and help her friends. All while preparing for the storm she knows is coming in the distance.
