<span style="font-style: italic">After the Salem witch trials magic in itself had seemed to vanish. Its now 400 years later and magic has returned to Earth. It starts with the very life of the planet. The energy that makes up the living creatures of this world. And is passed down from those whose ancestors once did magic. The gift for magic laying dormant until it was once again needed. 400 years later the descendants of the survivors of the Salem trials, are able to once again use magic. Though since it has been dormant for so long no one knew how to control or predict where and when it would show up. The time has come that a group of chosen will have magic ability far exceeding others. Those with that power will be how the world will be saved from the brink of annihilation.<br/><br/>Mankind has relied on science for so long it has begun to take over the world. And now magic is needed for humanity to regain control over the planet they have had control over for over a thousand years. Some humans will rise to make a stand against the creations of science. Making the illogical become logical in order to restore mankind to the top. Whether this last hope for humanity will succeed or not depends on the weilders. Will the paths of those who use it be hindered by those who decide to use the magic is too dangerous to use? Or will the paths of those be aided by the fact that magic may be the only answer to the survival of humanity? The decisions made by the highly empowered magic users may decide the fate of all...<br/><br/>A big corporation produces majority of the high tech things to make your lives easier, creating andriods to do housework, automatic public transit, etc, all controlled centrally by a massive AI like vikki. VIKKI learns and realizes that the greatest threat to mankind is mankind themselves so restricts freedoms, enforces curfews enforces manditory vasectomies on majority of the males to control population.. and anything else you can think of that humans do to self destruct. smoking, drugs, violence... all now against the law even sports are against the law due to risk of injury think of an extremely over protective mother and scale it up to a global scale and the magic users are the rebellious teenagers</span><br/><br/><span style="color: #FF0000">Drake looks around. He'd begun the search. The search for others like him. He had only a couple of rebels. But they weren't strong in the magic arts. This strange mythical power was humanities last chance. It was the technology that was slowly taking over. Many had thought that it would be some sort of extraterrestrial that would be the end of humankinds reign. No. It was their own creations. Their own scientific creations had grown and adapted far faster than humanity could ever hope to achieve. VIKKI was like an overbearing mother now. She enforced laws that were ridiculous. She had taken away just about everything. The world was beginning to turn dull. Life was becoming less unique. Less fun. Anyone who broke the law was punished like a child. Yet spanking would be much prefered to the punishments VIKKI could come up with. He continues to hunt. He knew there just had to be others out there. Others as powerful in this magic arts as he was. So he travels far and wide. Hunting for others like him. Hiding in plain view.<br/><br/>He heads to the first city. The nearest city was in California. He teleports himself to the outskirts of that town. Walking inside and fading into the shadows. Shadowblending is what he did. That is a technique he learned as a youth. He walks through the shadows. Keeping an eye out in the town of Santa Barbara...for a magic user...like him........</span>
