| concept The connection with magic has long been since a "new" concept. There was once a time when the world accepted magic, and the people who wielded it's power, embracing them completely. These unique individuals could raise the dead, create thunderstorms, even predict the future. But, as time went on and new concepts arose, what was once allowed and accepted ways of living life were now pressed to change. The way the old ways were viewed became twisted, turning what had been a part of life into unspeakable evil in the eyes of the world. Those who could aid with magic's power became the victims of various styles of execution and torture, before being sentenced to damnation. In the late 1400s, the fanatical attitude of the church took a turn for the worst. These acts were enough to shatter the willingness of those few families hiding in the hostile lands. To stay out of harm, they packed their things and left. Their destination? Across the Atlantic ocean. With teleporting help from the Conjurer family, they managed to settle down and live in peace for the better part of two hundred years. They were well liked by the local natives, bringing them what technological advances that Europe as well as the aid that their magical powers could bring, also enhancing the magical gifts the natives harnessed themselves. Among these primitive people, they were viewed as deities. It wasn't until the landing of the settlers that we have all been so familiarized to in our school text books, that the new ways and the old clashed again. The families were forced to blend back into society, resorting to hiding in plain sight. But in 1692, the Salem witch hunts began. A Puritan was unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a member of the Necromancer family, standing in the cemetery, well after the imposed curfew. All he could describe was the shape of a 'black man in the forest'. Thus, the trials began, after the simple minded zealots believed that the 'black man' had been the devil himself. The negative attitude drove a young female member of the Divination family to wish misfortune on the misguided families of Parris and Williams. Elizabeth and Abigail began having fits, yelling and screaming about things unseen. The result of this simple act of vengeance brought about the deaths of so many more. It was then that strict rules were placed upon the families. The elders of the magical families however, to prevent more confrontation, decided to move the families far west to a place called California, before the gold rush. Back to a place of peace and serenity, it would then be an additional hundred or so years before others came upon them, making running an option no longer. It was time to conform, to blend in with the ever spreading population of 'regular' people. Some of the families took to their own separate ways, moving off to different parts of the country, forming their own rules within their families, ignoring the code which had existed for more than half a good part of a thousand years.

It's a phrase we all heard many times throughout our childhood. Whether it was in the lap of a parent, from a teacher's lips, or read on our own, we quickly became familiar with the words and what would follow them. For most, fairy tales were a large and definitive part of their childhood. Some grew out of chasing the wild dreams and possibilities. Some were influenced by them, determined to find their prince or princess or happily ever after, no matter what the cost. Some shunned them and pushed them aside, deeming them stupid fantasies that could never exist. And then there were a few who felt strongly connected to certain stories or characters, whether they fully realized or not. Moreover, these individuals felt compelled, if not like it was their duty, to move to New York, however inconvenient it may be. Now, whether they realize their calling or not, these tales live amongst the more mundane of the population, trying to make sense of themselves. Are they crazy? Or are they just a little more special than the rest of the population? |
