Onwards Until Forever

The light that shines through the years, and those that see it. "You make it sound as if we're at war." She lifted her head. "Perhaps we are." Silence, and then "A war needs soldiers." Her eyes never left the distant shore "Then we shall start the muster." A tale of the magic that through the years has been hidden and shrouded in darkness, and those who will set it free.

Onwards Until Forever

by LeviosaLove

---

After all these years, you have to look back on the world and say 'What has changed? What have I done to make this a better place?' The Golden Trio and their beloved offspring's time has come to an end, and they died knowing that their world was all the better for what they have done.

But the inspiration and peace and glory of a war well won cannot last forever- after all, we have human nature to consider. And that is something even magic, it seems, cannot overcome. Slowly the self-destructive pride, prejudice and hatred of millennia began to seep back into the Wizarding world. Their heroes were dead and gone. And all they had worked for slowly crumbled to dust, as all things do, in the end.

But aren't there always new heroes rising to the challenge? Isn't there always something to mend, and someone to do it? After all, what was the noble war but an attempt to fix all that is broken, all that is wrong? But isn't that what both sides believe that they're doing?

No man believes himself evil. No matter how terribly wrong he is.

And now, the evil comes in a subtler way, but one that is perhaps all the more bitter and destructive for it.

From within.

The magical world needs someone to save it again. But this time, from itself.

So only the keen of eye and the true of heart and the strong of spirit will even dare to try.

Perhaps the greatest evil of all is the one that lives within the ones, the people and places that touch our hearts and souls. The one that we all must confront within ourselves.

But all philosophy aside, our world is in danger- the one that has shaped our very dreams for so many years. The world of magic- and the danger lingers just below the surface. So I beg of you- come and unmask it. Discover it and vanquish it from our world, and find within yourself the light that shines through all ages- the very same light within our beloved heroes of that last war, and the very same light that shines on your path now.

Please.

We need you now- you and everything you are and everything you could be.

All of you.

I sincerely appreciate it.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everything means something, and the things that are the most difference, the furthest from what we know, mean the most of all, for better or for worse.

And yet somehow, everyone carries on as though they don't realize how terribly uniform and monotone the world has become. Less and less are our hearts and minds ruled by kindness and wisdom and the urge to do the right thing, less and less do we look beyond the surface to what lies within. But maybe that all can change.

An epiphany has happened— lost in their minds and hearts and words and promises, this group of students, this extraordinary conglomeration of young witches and wizards felt something change. Some kind of barrier broken down, a dam giving way to a flood, and an abrupt awakening from a slumber that has gone on for far too long.

A clock chiming the hour of destiny, the moment of realization and awakening- It's time. Time to begin, time to grow, time to start speaking after all these years of listening, start standing up instead of stepping back, and above all seek out what is true and not hide behind comforting lies. The slow fade into grey is the thing we fear and dread the most- and it's time to start fighting for the right to be something other than ordinary- because every single one of us here can be ever so much more.

And it's not just empowerment of the insecure teenage population we're fighting for.

We're fighting for magic, we're fighting for love, and we're fighting for passion and empathy and every feeling and spell and power that has been denied all these years that we've labored under these delusions, thinking that this is all there is. What else could there be?

Infinitely more. More than you can ever imagine.

Maybe we can start to.

And maybe this collection of long-shots can light the way.

Thanks for reading.

Love, Leviosa
