I have decided to redo this story, starting with the backstories of the five Planeswalkers who
will face the final enemy. Please bear with me.
Magic
The Legend Continues
It is an age of peace. The evil Planeswalker, Nicol Bolas, has been sealed away, and the seal
has been maintained for many years. However, the seal is starting to break. To counter his
return, new Planeswalkers must take up the mantle of protecting the Multiverse...
Chapter One
Akiru Beleren
(Sanctum, the new home of the Planeswalkers)
Two Planeswalkers were in a bedroom, assisting a third with childbirth. A fourth stood outside, waiting.
The sound of a baby's cry made him run in. Looking inside, he saw his wife looking up at him with joy in
her eyes, and a baby in her arms. He gently approached his newborn son. As he got closer, he noticed
the baby's eyes. They were glowing blue. He faced his wife. "Narset, he is already a Planeswalker."
Narset nodded. "I know. We can at least say he has our eyes, Jace." Jace chuckled, and sat down next to
his son, who cooed in his mother's arms. "What shall we call him?" Narset sighed. "There was a warrior in
Ravnica who sought to become a Planeswalker. His name was Akiru. In tribute to him, why not give our
son the name?" Jace thought it over, then nodded. "I agree."
(Eighteen years later)
Walking in the city of New Prahv in Ravnica was a young man in a blue cloak. Some who passed by might
have mistaken him for an Arrester, if not for his glowing blue eyes. Those were the sign of a
Planeswalker. He reached his destination, a worn-down house in the Twelfth District. Opening the door,
he cautiously peered in. The occupant of the home had died long ago, with no living relatives. Akiru was
suspicious of this story, and had come here to learn the truth. Sitting in the family room, he closed his
eyes and concentrated. He saw a young girl and her father in this home, before the girl's father brought
her out of the home and to the Selesnya territory. Discovering that, he followed the trail. He arrived at
the borders of the Selesnya, when he sensed a presence behind him. "It is rare that I see a fellow
Planeswalker, young one." Akiru turned around, and saw a man with blue skin, magnifying lenses over
his left eye, with both eyes glowing red. "Dovin." The Grand Arbiter smiled warmly, and stepped closer a
bit. "May I ask what brings one so young as you to Ravnica?" Akiru simply answered, "Knowledge." Dovin
laughed. "You won't find knowledge in the Selesnya territory." Akiru faced him. "We will see." He stepped
into the woods, his sword dangling on his belt.
A/N
The original idea for this story was that I've always viewed Nicol Bolas as the main villain of
Magic The Gathering. The newest set at this point, War of the Spark, confirms this for me. I
won't spoil the story for that. Go look it up. With the confirmation, my inspiration for this story
has been renewed.
