Humans and Witches, two totally different world yet on the same planet. One side of the world was part of the witches domain, Magic was abundant and mechanics almost unheard of because there was no need. Using magic, they explored what there was to know, experimented with life and preserved it, Buildings reached the skies in some cities, but in others it was a simple countryside cottage. Both sides had cities and plains alike, however they were built upon their preferences, such as art magic or mechanics. art was mixed into both. The magic world was stuck in the past, IF one stepped from the human side to the witches territory, which was rare, they would note that they were sent back to the old Renascence era, though much more wild free and full of life.

For the human side however, Mechanical things and technology reigned supreme, from their medicine to their daily lives. Much like modern times everything was either computerized or steam punk style. Making lifestyle easier for those who knew mechanics. though there was some taint for business and money, their peaceful exploration of what the world had to offer was much more abundant.

The witches world and the human world's Government were the only ones that were "Allowed" to interact, you see, humans and witches never meant to mix. They HATED each other, it was rare that the two would even become friends. Usually there was always some sort of conflict with some witch and some human over how the two sides should cooperate to accomplish even a small scale goal.


Eventually however the two decided to cut each other off from their worlds and so split the world, the humans laced barbed wire on its borders and the mages held a barrier, though not ever little space could be covered.

Leon, was thought to be a mage, born in a small family in the suburbs, he grew up knowing he would be able to wield magic eventually, but it would take time and growing into, He was a late bloomer and so people were starting to wonder if he was even going to be able to use magic at all, maybe he was the type that didn’t need a wand, or maybe his power just hadn’t awoken yet. It was predicted he would hold that of either the spirit of wind or water because of his calm and understanding personality, meaning he would start of knowing one of the two elemental groups and so would be best in said group, if he was water, he could not control fire at all, and if he was wind he could not touch earth.


On Leon's eighteenth birthday however it was time for a ceremony, one where witches and mages alike would gather and be presented a gift from their families and sent to wander and find their own way in life, it was a bit of an adventurous project but the world was wide and new, some would start new towns and some would simply get a job and maybe even a girlfriend and settle down into the land and train in magic. One by one they would all go to a magic pole, and a gift from the very essence of magic (or what one would call a gift from god) would be bestowed upon them, usually just a new spell they could wield, before seeing their family to be released on their own after a gift from their parents.
Leon was nervous however, he was tall and somewhat muscular. Dressed in simple stretch jeans and a long sleeve shirt he went up to the pole. He still had not even awakened as a mage yet, he hoped he could now. finally get his power. But as he walked up and his parents held their breath a splinter of wood shot out into Leon's hand as he stepped closer, going through his hand as a warning.

His parents and everyone else was aghast, this could only mean one thing...he was human!
The magic world had its own little spells cast on objects to protect them, one being the pole of coming which Leon had nearly touched. Since the pole was irreplaceable and filled with strong magic it was WELL protected.

Leon looked around as everyone now had either an open palm towards him or their wand pointed right at him, a few of his friends and even a few of the girls he had grown up with had a tear or two rolling down. His parents were pointed at to, but both tried to explain "you know, we raised Leon for a very long time now, we hoped this day wouldn’t come but it was inevitable....Leon, we honestly don’t know how else to put this, but son, you are adopted, we found you near the border on a family trip and took you in, you were abandoned and in bad health. we had you hospitalized and claimed you as our own... We have been meaning to tell you, but we had faith that you may not be a human..." his parents pointed their wands at him too and said "please, just follow us...we will take care of you"

Leon not knowing what to do put his hands in his pockets, a little in denial this whole thing was happening, but a bright idea came to his head as his fingers ruffled in his pockets and pulled something out of his walled with a finger. he walked to his parents but in a swift movement he smashed a vial of mist potion and made his escape, leaving everyone to take flight on brooms or whatever they had to search for him...there was nothing he could do but run, he had heard what happened to humans and was not ready to face a unjust punishment.

So, Leon now walks the forests on his way to the border, looking for loopholes on his map along the way, all he had was a endless wormhole like backpack that could carry anything in one pockets while the other pockets were regular cloth. All he had with him was that backpack and a wand his parents had given him, he continuously tried to use it, trying to prove he had magic in him before he made it to try and turn things how they used to be, but to no avail.

Soon enough, he arrived at a river, looking around and seeing no one he undressed and slipped in, listening for any howling of the winds of a scout that was looking for him...that or something else that may want to harm him. Trying to relax he enjoyed the cool waters and listened to the earth as the creatures seemed to go about their business, for the first time in three days he was at peace.


(Looking for maybe a mage scout or a witch that is willing to take him in. KTHX!)
(species other than humans such as Mermaids, Nekos and such are welcome! [and yes they can be accepted in the witch world but will get weird looks in the human world]
