December 31st 1999, The Tower of London
The black robed figures slipped quietly across to the door to the basements of the white tower, they didnt need to slink as all the guards were now bound and gagged and the cameras off, but still they didnt want to draw attention, in the cellars they found the stone and pushed it aside then carving open a stone lain beneath for a time unknown,
Beneath a tunnel sloping down by some miracle or magic unbreached by all the digging that had happened under london, down they went into the black dragging the guards with them.
Far beneath London they entered the chamber its vaulted design ancient and mysterious, and there in the great chamber they began to set up, half the figures took up positions around the chamber and began to chant.
'So now its begun will you finally tell us all how you managed to arrange it all?' one robed figure asked another,
'Simple, the Internet will provide, all it took was a few forums, a few careful words here to get doomsday cults, psychopaths and religious crazies around the world to do the deed we want when midnight strikes here in london, and the BBC will provide the signal, we had to recruit a few people to steer a few groups and a few to sabotage some hospital wards at the time, shame we have to burn them and let the law take em but well we want to stay secret' replied a tall figure in a robe,
'But soon midnight will strike, the sacrifices will be made and the ritual completed'
Governments around the world were shocked by the thousands of deaths by various groups and individuals on the night of the millenium, although the internet was blamed for allowing so many to interact and coordinate it was admitted that there was precious little that could be done about it,
More concerning was that in the years that followed strange things began to happen around london first in its heart then spreading out Magic became real, first with psychics who could truly read minds with effort, then simple spells that worked, then strange creatures out of legend,
it is 2012 and in London out to the M25 that surrounds it, Magic is real again
