So you wish to hear the story do you? The story of how the world had come to an end?
Well of course the world didn't really end, that's the curse of humanity isn't it? To hold on until the bitter end. That's why we still have water, still have a sky, still have a home we can return to. Unlike before, where soot had covered the air and man went to great lengths to kill their God. The end of the world...what a laugh. Our cities had fallen but we still hold onto some semblance of the world of old, how does that signify any great end to our way of life-
Right, I apologize. Excuse the ramblings of an old woman, it's been too long since the great fires had come to our world. But...you did come to me, a forgetful hag, to learn of an art that abandoned us long ago at our worst. Our best depending on how you look at it [Omit Laughter]
This knowledge was never forgotten, you greedily paw for information that you have had access to for dozens of years! How could you even possibly forget, the fuel of our world that had ironically destroyed what it had come to build? It had brought the Great Fires, what had (so to speak) ended the world [Omit Laughter]
A hurry, a rush?
You look at my bandages in pity, or disgust, but you have no idea what these wrappings really mean do you? You've never seen The Great Fires, you've never experienced the Shattering when civil order had died. You live in this perfect world of grass and blue skies, of rain that always comes and brings life to this last bastion of humanity. You never have experience the weight that my generation has experienced, vicariously knowing that a gun kills even though you've never fired one. But...
You wish to learn of magic do you?

I was but a girl so I could hardly remember much, it wasn't as if they gave children the right to be gods. But they might as well, the way the people would play with a new power as a child might play with a new toy. We never change. The date or weapon we hold might change, but it was just as well to learn that we never could. When the day had come that magic had come into our world, everyone proclaimed the start of a golden era. How funny it was...to literally ignore the gun we were placing to our heads.
We all lost purpose, we had nothing to strive for when we were granted everything. We are destructive creatures, mere children in bodies that wither with age. There was anger and frustration when nothing was left to distract us, when we turned on our neighbors and destroyed everything in one big temper tantrum. But there was nothing I could do...there was nothing anyone could do. How do you find a power greater than magic? How do suppress the force of billions of gods?
This is where you leave disappointed. I can tell you stories from my childhood when magic had yet to come to our "perfect" world. I can relate to you the atrocities that happened in the streets with no accountability. I can share with you my story from the Shattering, how a man had come to make me bleed simply because he could. Or how my mother bled for differing reasons. How my father burned alive, how my friends killed themselves in agony or my bullies left in the migrations out of fear.
I can share with you how the Great Fires fell from the sky and melted the land, cleansing our sin in a rain that would last a lifetime. I know many things, but you already know what I do not know.
Why has this magic returned?
[Omit Laughter]
You think I waste your time do you, storming out that door now? I can assure you I do know something. This entire situation is ironic.
You fear the very thing that potentially could save you.

RULES
Yup, time for the boring and not very interesting part. But I need to include this in here somewhere after all.
1. READ THE RULES! For the love of everything that you care about I'd appreciate it if you gave these puppies some sense of consideration.
2. Quality over Quantity. I make this mistake sometimes, but sometimes less really is more.
*You're here based on your writing ability, while I may frown upon your two paragraph post I would rather see words that count rather than some disgusting word count.
3. Keep active please. A lot of RP's I've been in have died because of inactivity. So I'm making a rule here.
If you are absent for longer than a week without posting you will receive a warning. If this persists without warning or a valid excuse beforehand I kill off your character.
*If you are experiencing internet difficulty and rage at me for doing so here's the easy part: Just make a new character.
4. I'm not a Nazi, nor some all powering dictator with an unhealthy love towards his RP. If you have lore, a character, or any sort of element you wish to include into my RP do NOT hesitate to say so. I encourage creative freedom, and whether that be a direction of plot or a new location I encourage you to speak up and have your voice heard! I hope to make this RP a group collaborative effort.
5. Don't be dumb. I imagine you've all RP'd before, you know the general rules of how things works.
Anyway that's about it, feel free to continue on if you wish to continue.
