New Story

hhI've given up on Lost Legacy. Maybe when inspiration comes again I'll continue it. =) As for now, I'm starting on a new concept. I've also given up on MAGE. Gosh it's scarey to think how many unfinished projects I have. Here goes.

CIRCLE OF SILENCE

Magic. It existed long before anything else. It swirled around the planets and dimensions, binding everything together. With science and reasoning came the outcasting of the ancient artform, and as the world became revolutionized, mages and wizards lost their practices.

It soon became a form of entertainment rather than something serious. Illusionists, stage magicians and street magic became commonplace as people sought the new and unimaginable. But those of true magical stature knew otherwise.

The Silent Circle of Magic existed as long as magic itself. Nobody of the outside world knew about it. There were only rumors and myths about them. Some called them the Circle of Witchcraft, others the Evil Ones, but throughout history, the Silent Circle has protected mankind from the real evil ones...

There are two kinds of magic. White Magic, also known as Common Magic, and Black Magic, or Chaos Magic. For a thousand years, the Silent Circle has had a powerful enemy, an enemy born of the Chaos Magic they have sworn never to practice.

But not all who swear keep their oaths.

Not even in the Watchers' journals could the exact date be found, but at some point in the Dark Ages, a wizard named Graham Necross unleashed a terrible evil upon the earth. Its name was Hellfire. With it came plagues, murder and despair, and the town in which it was set free--Wormwood--fell into a shadow.

Unbeknownst to the world, the Circle stopped Hellfire and its forces of Chaos, ending one of the most terrible threats before it could spread throughout the globe. As was the Circle's policy, Wormwood was made to forget all that had happened.
