The Story You've Never Heard

by jixy

Once, my job used to be easier. Once, I thought I had it all. Once, I knew my duty. Once, the line between good and evil was clear. Once, there were ten of us. Yeah, once upon a time......

Prologue: The Real Story

I remember back when my job was easier.

Back when all of this started.

Way back, when I first learned about my powers.

When I first learned about my duty.

Before I realized that the weight of the world was on my shoulders.

Back before Elyon betrayed us.

Back when there were ten of us.

Ten Guardians to share the duty.

Ten powers to accomplish out task.

Ten united against evil.

There was Samantha Carson, who held the powers of weather in her hand.

Lindsey Watkins, whose powers of motion let her write the laws of physics.

Hay Lin, whose powers of air let us breath a little easier.

Irma Lair, who commanded the water with a wave of her hand.

Emma O'Connor, whose control of the mind kept us out of trouble.

Taranee Cook, whose fire power dominated many battles.

Cornelia Hale, whose powers of earth kept us firmly on the ground.

Isabel Bradbury, whose powers of light kept others in the dark.

Vera Hawthorne, who could control your body as easy as she could her own.

And of course me, Will Vandom. Sometimes my powers of energy were all that kept us going.

We were the Guardians of the Veil.

This is our story.

The story you never heard.

The part they always leave out.

This is the story of S.W.I.T.C.H.-V.E.I.L.
