Asheville has been proclaimed to be a "New Age Mecca" as well as "the new freak capital of the US". Most people overlook these statements made by the media, because most of Asheville's residents live there because it was named one of the top seven places to live in the US, it's location in the mountains and surrounding areas is ideal, and life moves at a slower pace in the South.
For many years supernatural creatures of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds had been migrating to this city in the Blue Ridge Mountains. None of them can quite put their finger on why they were drawn there, but there was a pull that they just couldn't ignore.
Supernaturals were content to live alongside humans in quiet; swaying them to the light or dark side or simply being content to live in peace. But then things began to change.
During the summer of 2010 a group of supernatural radicals decided that they were tired of hiding in the shadows, and they began an uprising. The uprising brought much attention to the supernatural community; at first just in Asheville, slowly the nation and then the world. People began looking at each other in a different light as they wondered if their neighbor, co-workers, teachers were supernaturals.
Things only got bloodier the longer the uprising went on, and finally a meeting of all the supernatural leaders in the area was called. They decided it was for the best if they revealed themselves to the public, and try to live in peace as they'd done for many years prior. The public cried for justice over the human blood that had been spilt and the leaders were more than happy to oblige. The rebel leaders were publicly tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.
Nearly two years have passed since the uprising, and while some humans have grown more comfortable with the idea of supernaturals mingling among them others are not so content with the change. The tension never fully did go away, and those who had begun the uprising hadn't intended for supernaturals to be content living among humans - they were supposed to rule them.
With each day that passes some of the humans want stricter laws for supernaturals, and the supernaturals only want the same rights that normal humans have. Some supernaturals have decided to keep their identities secret, and others flaunt their powers in order to gain respect, or sometimes fear from the humans. Something is brewing underneath the city of Asheville, and only time will tell if it's good or bad. |

A Dangerous Twist
What if the Battle of Hogwarts never happened? What if, after the giant fiasco of Gringott’s, Voldemort was able to figure out what was happening in order to get the Diadem of Ravenclaw and beat a hasty retreat with Nagini? What if, five years later, the war is still raging in Britain?
Voldemort is hiding, biding his time in a fortress that is known only to his closest and most devoted followers. There he has kept his last two horcruxes safe and secret, and from there, he rules Wizarding England , asserting his agenda of absolute power over the land. Those who follow him seek to eradicate the last of the muggleborns from Britain and recreate the world in their own pure image. So far, the muggles remain largely unaffected, but everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before they’re wiped out as well.
But there is resistance. The Order of the Phoenix is still fighting strong, smuggling out those they can and planning strikes against the Death Eaters. Harry Potter and his close friends work tirelessly to try and locate and destroy the last horcruxes, so they can finally kill Voldemort and end this war.
And caught in the middle is the ministry. Filled with the neutral, the cowardly, the bureaucrats only after their own power, and spies on both sides, the ministry seems more battleground than ruling body as both sides fight for control.
One thing is clear: the war has to end. But even if and when Voldemort is defeated, what happens then? Where do you begin to rebuild the world? How do you punish the wicked, or restart an economy? How do you begin to heal?
