THESE VERSIONS OF VIOLENCE
Some are subtle, some are obvious and some are ignored. Violence surrounds us and often our eyes choose to divert elsewhere. We ignore the homeless man who begs for our change and we turn a blind eye to the suffering below the equator. We expose the corrupt that have crossed those with more connections and make clear the dirt and blood on their hands. Occasionally, we embrace the hidden violence we ignore and make a choice; join the darkness or combat the violence around you. You’ve been given this choice, and there is no third option.
MY PRISION IS MY HOME
Beneath our radar, there’s a war being fought. It isn’t between countries, cities or even planets. It goes far beyond any physical home or place. It goes back to the very beginning of time. In the beginning, there was a darkness and a light. Even then, the two battled furiously. Our battle, the seemingly eternal war, is fought in hearts and in body. Blood is shed, souls are lost and no one wins. Yet, we must fight, for a failure to embrace the violence results in self-destruction. In a society too quick to attach evil, to win we must understand violence is not good or bad; it is neutral. It is the man who kills that has embraced or rejected the light.
LOOK AT US JUMPING SHIP
Magickal wars have been going on since the concept of civilization. Good battling Evil. Humanity has taken part in this battle, but lines are blurred. The Organization is a group of humans who believe in developing the role of mortals in the magickal community. Agents, people who work for the Organization, remove magickal threats, protect good magick and are constantly searching for knowledge. The Organization has its roots in Babylon, but the established head is in London, England. A number of dangerous deaths for humanity have been avoided through the fruits and labors of this extremely important group.
THESE ARE NOT TIMES FOR THE WEAK OF HEART
Our story takes place across the ocean and in the heartland of America. Chicago, Illinois is a sprawling metropolis with a rich history. Some is know and some is kept a dark secret. Up until 1990, the magickal threats in the city that the Organization had identified was dropping, but over the past twenty years the rates have been increasing with the growth being exponential in the past few years. Assuming it to be a natural occurrence, as rates usually rise after they fall, the Coven believes that something else is happening. Something dangerous. The Coven, a group of mortals and magickal beings working to gather power and knowledge using all means necessary, has taken this rise in occurrences to be a warning sign. Something powerful is coming and, according to them, our time to stop it is growing short. With thousands of other things going on, the Chicago Area is becoming quite the hot spot.
This is where you make a choice.
Study the darkness and find the source, or keep your eyes closed and live in your ignorant bliss. I can’t make the choice for you, but if you choose to go down the rabbit hole, be ready. You’ll see things you never imagined.
