This story is a little experiment. I wanted to make a story based on Magic: the Gathering and wanted to put onto paper what a game of Magic would be. So this is it. Please R&R to let me know if this you like it. Hope you enjoy.
A dark room. A small chandelier dimly lit the room. Bookshelves lined the walls covering topics from artifacts to geography. At the center was a desk where a blue-hooded mage sat, studying his scrolls. His eyes glowed a pale but bright blue. His cloak was lined with white markings. He worked diligently with scroll after scroll, 'Gruul needs more living space,' 'Orzhov wants to hunt the cults,' 'The guildless need a home.'
"Jace." The blue-hooded mage looked back to see a sweet girl emerging from a bright blue light. As quick as it appeared, the light disappeared, leaving behind a dark 'X' mark that slowly faded away. "Bolas is moving faster than we expected. After Sarkhan went through that grave, I've never seen him panic more. Who knows how time travel can change."
"Indeed," replied the blue mage. "But if there's anyone who can see through time, it would most probably be the Moon Sage," jokes Jace. Tamiyo looks at him puzzled, although a small grin on her face. "I'm talking about you, Tamiyo! What have you seen?"
"I'm not stupid. Of course, I know you're pertaining to me. If you would only stop being so cryptic about it. And no, I can't see what's about to happen. It's probably Bolas himself. I try to glimpse the future but I come up with nothing. Always drawing a blank."
"Really, there's nothing."
"Nothing. Nothing we don't already know."
"Wait, so you're saying that every time you scry you see nothing except when you do succeed you see the Future Plane?"
"Yes." Already another glow starts to appear. A red orb grows in place while rings revolve around it at blistering speeds. A bright flash of light. When the flash cleared, a woman wearing red leather and donning flaming hair rose.
"This Future Plane, why can't we planeswalk there?" Said the girl in red.
"Chandra, if you're here, does that mean…" And at that, Chandra lifted up a shining veil made of chain mail and a violet cloth. "Not only did the Onakke grant the veil to use against Bolas and taught me how to use it, but they have promised to lend a hand in the coming war."
"Good. The more help we have, the better…"
"You're not answering my question," interrupts Chandra.
"I am getting to it. Despite our knowledge of this Future Plane, we know nothing else, where it is or who resides there. All that we know is that this plane is a key to the future war."
"If it is so important, why does no planeswalker know of this plane."
"Because," chimed in Tamiyo. "This plane has no sign of magic. No one uses magic. Instead they use science and the power of artifacts, but do not be confused. This plane is very far from Mirrodin."
"Anything else? Do we know anything else of this plane."
"Nothing else," said Jace.
"Well, there is one more thing." Tamiyo waves her hand and she shows the future plane to the two.
"What are you doing?" snaps Chandra, alarmed the the Moon Sage might trick her. "Simply giving a bit of inspiration."
And then, they see it. A vibrant sky with a bright, yellow sun. Busy cities but also peaceful lands. Life everywhere and one would think this place would be flowing with mana with the strong mountains, stretched plains, dank swamps, pristine islands, and cool forests.
"The potential of this plane is enormous. Mana sources are everywhere. Yet… the nature of these cities…"
"Yes," said Tamiyo. "This plane houses a 6th color of mana." Chandra's eyes widened and Jace simply acknowledges.
"That is extraordinary. And I believe we already know what to call this plane." Jace points everyone's attention to a large piece of paper that a person was reading, in bold letters, 'Greatest Scientific Leap on Earth.'
That's it. No fight yet, cause I want to know who would like this idea. Don't forget to review and I'd love it if you would follow or favorite this story.
