When the Arising began, the sky lit up with fire, and a star fell from the sky, or so the people who witnessed it thought. The Unknown’s essence, invisible to the mortal eye, inhabited the body of the first life form it sensed. It was a young man, whose soul was forced out, and passed on. Months from that day, the Unknown’s army was built, and it was preparing for battle. But the three young women, who were named by the seers descendants as Destiny, Fate and Chance, were prepared for the Unknown. The had trained for four years before the Arising, and their training was effective in the battle of good and evil.

After battling for nearly a year, good conquered evil, and the Unknown was destroyed. The women who defeated the Unknown where allowed to make a life of their own choosing. There wasn’t nothing else to fear, the world was safe.

It wasn’t until twenty four-years ago, in present time that magic ceased to be practiced by the descendants of the most powerful of the three families. No one knew of it, because no one remembered, by intervention by the seers, that the world was at risk of being destroyed. To people in modern times, magic didn’t exist.

A thirty-three year old woman sat at her desk typing information into the Book. She didn’t know what importance the information was. She was on a need to know basis, and she really didn’t care. She just knew that she had to get the information typed in in precisely the way that she is told, or she will lose her job. She was the best person at doing what she was hired for. She was told to tell inform her boss the moment she had all the information typed in. When she completed the final word she pushed the red button on the phone that sat beside her, there was an immediate answer.

“Sir, I have the information in.” she said.

“Thank you, you may go home.” said the man she has never met.

“Thank you sir.” she said, and he hung up.

When he hung up the phone, he grabbed the receiver of another, that had only one button, and he pressed the one button. In doing so he contacted the leaders of every group of magical beings that are known to the U.S. Government. When he was sure that he had everyone’s attention, he said into the receiver, “We’ve found two of them.”
