Story Idea

Just irritated that this story idea was rejected when it looked so good to me and I spent a bit of time researching how to write it. But oh well, at least I can turn it into an article I can expand one of these days

The world was divided into 3 factions. The humans, the pure witches/warlocks, and the impure ones which were classed as the weaker witches. For the past 300 years, humans believed that the enemy was the weaker witches. They never knew of the existence of the pure witches… or more like, the witches removed themselves from human memories when the king of shadows divided the world into how it is.

300 years have passed. It was the 19th century and humans relied heavily on machines and animations. They have also been battling with the weaker witches with the wrong idea. The history humans knew was all wrong. It was only corrected when Audrey Greames met Cooper Holte. She discovered that there was a much bigger enemy than they originally thought. Luckily Cooper was willing to show her the historical scrolls so that she could clear her doubts about what he told her.

When she found out about the truth, she and Cooper thought about how they would get their factions to cooperate. The solution Cooper thought, was to lead them to the border the pure witches had made, to segregate the world. When the humans arrived there, the witch guards threatened the humans to go back or they would be killed. The humans fought back, yet it ended up with a few of their men being killed within a matter of minutes.

After the humans returned to their faction, the leaders tried to find a way to attack without sacrificing so many lives.

Cooper and Audrey snuck into the leader’s office and tried to convince him of a plan. The leader was reluctant at first to listen, but he eventually did when Audrey was the one asking him to listen (The leader was a close family friend of her father).

After the human leader, they tried convincing the leader of the weak witch faction. Luckily, he was more willing to listen than the human leader. Both leaders met and agreed on a temporary ceasefire and cooperation. The wall that divided both factions got torn down and the people started fighting. That’s when Audrey and Cooper came to stop the fight and asked the people to listen to the history of their fight. Audrey made a projector that could show the historical scrolls that showed the real history that was removed from the human mind.

The humans still questioned it but they helped the weaker witches by teaching them technology that could amplify their powers while the witches taught humans the fundamentals of magic. The information exchange made both factions stronger. When they finally managed to coexist without the discrimination, the leaders decided that it was time to plan their attacks. The community was divided into magic classes and the inventors that worked well with each magic class. There was the offense team which consisted of the witches with nature manipulation and inventors that handled explosives well. There was the defense team which consisted of the witches that can perform rune magic and ones that can make powerful barriers, as well as the humans that were skilled with long-range weapons and those that could make animatons to fight for them. There were also the healers. The ones that could heal were sent to the back for support. On the longest day of the year, they planned their attack. But the key players were those that had the ability to neutralize powers.

While they waited for the day to come, they all trained together, the witches and the humans. They at least had information on the pure witch population and the shadow king to formulate a good plan. When the day came, the ones at the front were the defensive team, followed by the neutralizers. They were the first wave of the plan. When the guards became powerless, that’s when the offensive team started their attacks to tear down the barriers and the walls.

When the barriers fell, the people charged in and started attacking the citizens, most of the citizens had their magical abilities taken away so that they would be unable to fight. The fight continued until they reached the castle where the king of shadows was. The king was weak because of the sun. It got easier to defeat him that way. It was the two leaders that defeated the king. When the king died, they carried his body to the plaza to show the citizens that their king was no more.

The citizens were given the choice to live harmoniously with them or they would be stripped of their powers and sent to the dungeons so that another revolution would not start. A lot of the pure witches tried to live harmoniously with the new system while they reformed the world to one where there would be no more discrimination.
