Witchcraft |
From the 14th century to the 18th in Europe, the gruesome witch hunts were held. People detained massive terror of witchcraft and started the hunts, searching for the individuals who practiced “dark magic”. The ones who were accused were interrogated, up to the point where some were brutally tortured to confess, and those who confessed were persecuted, usually by hanging or burning. Over those centuries, more than 9,000 people were burned and hanged, but after the 18th century the hunts were put to a stop. The hunts were only a small part of the secret war. During those centuries a war was being held between the “witches”, who were really called Covai to their race. A civil war. The Covai or “witches” were much different than through the eyes of the normal person. Their abilities, their powers, all connected to the earth. They have the ability to control every aspect of the earth, like water, fire, air, etc. They do cast spells, but they don’t need a toad’s eye, or a wolf tongue. They merely have a book of spells, which they read around a hand drawn Solomon Seal. A group of Covai decided that it would be fun causing a bit of chaos throughout Europe, and the rest would not tolerate it, especially with the hunts taking place. Despite the fact that the citizens killed the wrong people, there were some that were actually Covai. The wrong Covai; the innocent ones were the ones who were captured and tortured for the faults of others. Before, the Covai lived in harmony with the people in Europe, pretending to be like them, but because of the hunts and the chaotic crime their other fellow witches were causing, they were forced to go into hiding. Most moved out of Europe to find a haven for themselves. They spread out into different parts of the world. Even though the witch hunts were stopped, there were still people who believed in the witches and formed a group called “Anti-necromancer”, or Necrom for short. They hire bounty hunters to go find those witches and bring them to their location, which is usually the loft of a church. To this day, there is a secret hunt going on with the Necrom and the Covai. The Covai are hiding, most living in the depths of New York City. Some are fighting back against the bounty hunters and the Necrom. Most physically, others through peace talks. Either way, it is now a new war. How long will it take for it to stop? |
