umm, I'm bad at summaries. Two countries are at war. One of them doesn't like mages the other manipulates mages to do their evel bidding and a Prince must try to convince his country to trust mages or they will all be killed. The prologue will tell you wh

Untitled So Far
Prologue: The Mysteries of Terra

Hello, everyone. This isn't exactly a prologue in the way that it doesn't really have anything to do with story but I wanted to explain a few things that will be in the story so that everyone reading it will know what's going on most of the time (hopefully).
First of all, the test that Serenity is doing in the first chapter is a test that mages take once they reach a certain level. This level usually takes fifty years of magic study and practice to reach but for some unknown reason, Serenity has reached that level in ten years. If the mage passes the test the Goddess will appear before them and bless them and give them gifts and basically make them the most powerful mage alive. Not many mages have passed this test. At this time on Terra there is only one person who has.
There will be two main countries in this story (so far I might make up more later). The one where the story starts is Atlantis. The people of Atlantis believe mages and everything magic related to be evil and think that they will destroy their country. So, when anyone is born a prophet (who is not magical but scientifical) tells the parents whether or not their child has the potential to be a mage. If the child does have the potential then they are usually killed right away. However, some people in this country do have consciences so instead of killing their child they can send them away to the neighboring country where, if they are lucky enough to survive the trip they are usually taken in by some school for mages.
This other country is called Olympus. This country believes mages should be trained to use their magic abilities as well as they can because if they have strong mages their army will be invincible and theirs defenses unbreakable. These beliefs set the stage for invasion and force Atlantis to come to terms with its distrust of magic because they will have to get magical help if they are to defend their country from Olympus.
Well, I think that's all the background information you'll need to know for now. I might update this later if there is anything else of importance that you need to know about the cultures/people/things in this story. Also I happen to be extremely bad at coming up with names for my stories but I don't want all my stories to known as "Untitled So Far" so if you are reading this and you have any suggestions to what the story could be please email me, it would be eternally appreciated. Thank you.
