Prologue
In the past a war between the magical folk or the magical folk and non-gifted folk would not have bothered the community for we could retreat to the Hidden Realm until it was done. This war was to be different. For over ten years it has raged between the Dark Mage Riddle's forces and those of neutral or good magics. Ambushes, fights in the streets, and duels occurred regularly with the neutral and good mages losing far more often due to the ethics that the dark mages lacked.
Eventually, a neutral mage Seeress spoke a prophecy that foretold of the Dark Mage's and his forces fall from power. A young dark mage heard the prophecy and retold it to his master. However, because he had only heard half of it, he was only able to relay that half. Perhaps if he had heard the rest, the Dark Mage would have reacted differently to it. Instead, his actions after hearing the prophecy would bring about the beginning of his end, though it would be years in coming.
Soon after hearing the prophecy, the Dark Mage sought a small family known as the Potter's. He had decided that they were the ones referred to in the Seeress prophecy and sought to destroy them before they could fulfill their part of the prophecy. He never realized that his actions are what gave their small son the power to fulfill that prophecy by doing so. A battle ensued between the Dark Mage and the Potters, with the Dark Mage killing the father first as he tried to defend his wife and child. Once he was dead, the Dark Mage moved on to kill the mother who was protecting her son, but when he went to kill the child, his magic was backfired casting his body into the void while his spirit was set adrift.
Many of the magical folk celebrated even as they mourned the loss of the family, most of them believing that the Dark Mage was gone but there were some who realized he was not. For those few, they continued to prepare for the day when the Dark Mage would return and the war would begin again. To those who were preparing for when he returned, this time after the Potter's death was the calm before the storm.
For those within the Community, it was a time of caution, because around the same time that the Seeress spoke her prophecy, one of the Communities prominent precogs of great renowned had also spoken of a vision. Her vision would be the cause for the Community to enter a conflict it would otherwise avoid and carefully observe events within a world they cared little for. According to the precogs vision, a female child born the fall before would have two different gifts instead of just the one, she would have an effect on how things would occur in the world. The message was sent out, along with a copy of the vision to all of those with children of the right age.
For the next ten years all of the families that received the message carefully observed their daughters in their development but none could notice any difference.

In her hands the Future, for she will have effect
