Now this is going to be one of those long ass chapters where you get ALOT of explaining.

Now this the history for this universe:

The Age of Piracy

Centuries ago, pirates ruled the seas; rampaging trade ships, stealing and looting, and drinking up rum. They lived with their ships with their own rules, which were NO rules. They thought that they were the true royalty of the sea. Until, one obstacle got in their way...

Calypso.

She believed that the pirates ways were foolish, so she destroyed their ships and their lives. This allowed the royal navy to have a chance at catching the pirates and putting them behind bars... or worse.

But then, an unknown band of pirates formed together in a patch of land known as Shipwreck Cove. With the help of the notorious Davy Jones, they conceived a plan to bind the goddess into human form.

And so they did

But before they did, they tricked the goddess into a grand celebration in her honor. Calypso, for a moment, saw the pirates in a new light; that behind all the looting and rampaging were honorable hearts. So, in a rare circumstance, she offered the pirates gifts of their own.

The powers of Aura.

The pirates were suprised by the goddesses actions, as their bodies flowed with energy people thought only the gods could feel.

Calypso told them that they had three ways in using these powers.

For the elements.

For the balance.

And for the seasons.

The pirates thanked the goddess for her gift and promised to cherish it with other generations.

However, they kept their plan alive and used their newfound abilities to attack the goddess and bind her in human form.

Calypso, now Tia Dalma, was angered by the pirates betrayal and for giving them the powers of Aura. She vowed to one day be free from her human form and unleash her true wrath upon them.

The pirates, now with the powers of Aura, shared their abilities with others around the world.

Some accepted it, but most denied it. The people knew the pirates were reckless creatures, but now they were convinced they were spawnes of the devil himself. For you see, the citizens thought that magic was a sin, a terrible plague to be brought upon the human body.

Now the pirates lives were truly terrible as they now they knew that Calypso had not only given them a blessing, but a curse.

But that did not stop the pirates from using the powers of Aura. They placed a law that from now one, pirates shall be the only ones to use magic; but for their own purposes.

And thus the Brethren Court was born.

However, the British navy found out about this and hunted for not only pirates, but other magical entities such as witches. They also hunted for citizens who had received a bit of magic from some of the pirates.

When the navy would catch witches, they would force the women to take away any magic a citizen would have.

The people would be stripped off their magic, amd then hung.

Magic was gone from the people, but pirates still held the powers of Aura and they were passed on from generation to generation. But not many families lived to pass on the magic and there for, magic was lost to piracy.

Now, magic was more rarer than ever, until a saying went around:

Only those born of piracy are born with magic.

However, this wasn't exactly true.

As the decades went by, people were finding different ways people could have magic. So, far there are only three:

Being born of piracy.

Being cursed.

Or studying it.

But so far, pirates have been the only ones known for magic abilities.

And the more magic was being found, the more pirates were being hunted.

And no pirates, meant no magic.

So, I really hope this isn't TOO much. I really hope I explained enough, but like i said, you can leave a question and I'll try and answer as best as possible.

Also, sorry if this sounds silly, but it's my imagination.
