AN: this first part is just like background for the story…so it may be boring but it does serve a purpose.

From the beginning of its existence the Wizarding World has concealed its secret from the muggle population. The community stood united holding power in the European countries and was rivaled by no other more powerful world. When the New World was discovered in 1492 the Ministry of Magic concluded that the benefits of sending a group of wizards to the New World outweighed the negatives. A group of 100 wizards was sent to the New World and settled on the island of Roanoke along with a group of muggles. However the wizards were ill prepared for the differences of the New World, and pushed for survival, they discovered something strange about the new land mass they now called home. The land held a power, a power that was raw, uninhibited, and soul deep. The wizards called this power Croatoan. Desperate, the wizards attempted to harness the power and they succeeded at first, but Croatoan was too much of a raw power for the wizards to handle. Some died, others went mad, and still others escaped from the island…

Not all of the original Croatoan Wizards were lost. Some simply merged into the appearing colonies or native tribes in the New World. As they lived they learned more about the power they had harnessed on Roanoke. They no longer required wands to work their magic so those were discarded. Each wizard had and elevated inclination to one or more "spells" than another. Realizing they were no longer a part of their old Wizarding World they remaining originals formed a clan which they simply called the "Council". At this time the wizards began to discover that the Croatoan power was passed down to their children and that time no longer affected them. As their numbers grew the Council decided that only original Croatoan wizards would be allowed to serve on the Council leading their descendents and muggle families to call them Elders. As their society progressed their magic evolved even father from the Wizarding World counterpart. The Croatoan magic was specialized in each individual and connected directly to ones emotions.

The Elders began to shape their civilization. They divided the descendents into two groups, those with offensive powers and those with defensive powers—the first would protect the muggles, or mortals as the Elders now called them, from innate evils or rouge Croatoan wizards and the other would guide and protect the first group. The first group became known as Witches the protectors of innocents and the second became known as Whitelighters. Recognizing the powerful temptation the power of Croatoan presented the Elders initiated strict rules on the use of its magic. Witches would only be allowed to use their magic for the good of others not for personal gain. Any use of magic for personal gain would result in terrible consequences for the Witch who cast the spell. Whitelighters would guide the Witches to help them avoid the temptations of Croatoan and would answer directly to the Elders. Witches and Whitelighters who disagreed with the Elders retreated underground where they evolved overtime into the opposites of their good halves—Warlocks, Demons, and Darklighters.

Through all the years apart neither the Wizarding World nor the Wiccan World interacted with the other. Few in the Wizarding World knew of the Wiccan's existence and knowledge of the Wizarding World in the Wiccan was fading fast. It was just as well however as such a union between the two worlds would result in very powerful and ancient magic…

Now in present day one dark and powerful wizard will seek the power of Croatoan to obtain that which he so desperately wants and has been trying to achieve for many years…

Well now the next chapter will begin the actual story…r&r :)
