《New to Magic》Prologue

Prologue
This story all starts in an alternate reality in the distant future where space travel is a daily occurrence. Magic became the dominant power source after all the non-renewable fossil fuel sources were used up. With more and more people being educated in magic and starting to believe, thus started a magical renaissance. The masses found themselves able to learn and manipulate it. Humanity began to expand through space with the now more flexible power source. They began to colonize and explore space in all directions. During the humans, expansion through space, they encountered various races of humanoid beings. Elves, giants, trolls, fairies, and other strange beings were themselves spreading through the stars.
Ninety-eight percent of all races had learned how to wield one or more of the five elemental affinities. Humans were the most advanced in the magic arts and so the dominant lifeforms in general. The human mages were born gifted with three elemental affinities more often than any other race. On top of that, their magic wells (the amount of magic power they could store within themselves), were also far greater in size.
Some humans in their arrogance of the power they held tried to subjugate the other races after many magic battles and wars humanity established themselves as the dominant race of magic users. They managed to use their superior power to be the ruling force to all the races in known space. Thus, starting the Imperial Order to control all the know space. Only after hundreds of years the different races started to work together and co-existed to a point. If small skirmishes broke out between two races regardless of who, the Imperial Order would step in. Peace was always forced between any fighting factions by the human ran Empire.
Only after hundreds of years, humans started to accept co-existing with different races of beings. It happened only after finding they could procreate with most of the other species. Much like they did their races of colour from the past and truly became multi-cultured. The human hybrids usually kept some of the dominant traits of both parents and furthered interspecies relationships. Many of the influential politicians considered themselves puritans and refused to co-habituate with any of the other races. Unfortunately, many of these humans were powerful mages who held high places in the Imperial Order. Still, it was becoming less of an issue for other races to hold office in the new stronger Imperial Order. For hundreds of years, they had an easy time overpowering the other races with their stronger and more abundance of magic.

The human dominant Imperial Order ruled supreme, that is until they encountered the Titans. During explorations after crossing a vast expanse of space they explore further into another universe they called Unknown Space. They found a race of colossal giants, standing between sixty to seventy plus meters tall (197- 240 ft.). Their weight almost doubles that of your average size ratio to that of a human being. Their skin is tougher than any plate steel found on old Earth. The fact that they were found to be one of the two races known to hold no magic was insignificant because they were the embodiment of magic. For their size, weight, and skin density they were stronger and could move much faster than one would imagine. The ships that made the voyage were escorted back into the Imperial Order space, and a few Titans joined them to start diplomatic talks before being granted access to Titan occupied space, aka Unknown Space.
It was during this time rumours of some elite mages tried to subjugate a few Titans co-existing on a large planet. That is when they found out about the Titan’s ability to nullify magic. Both sides found after the magical attacks that Titans could nullify magical power around them. Most magical attacks didn’t even tickle their skin before fizzling to nothing. The Titans once attacked found a reason to retaliate against the puny human mages. These few Titans thought they should be the gods of the Imperial Order. Thus, started the five-year Mage War. These different series of events leads to where this story truly begins.

Souls of Savagery
Souls of Savagery is a series of short stories intended to function much like a comic book series. However, to experience the complete story in a logical order you should read the volumes in numerical order, starting of course, with Volume 1: A Bloodbath by Any Other Name. Each volume is told from a single point of view and that will change from volume to volume. Though, the narrative will require later volumes to return to characters that have been featured previously. I hope you enjoy.

Three Hundred Years After The End Of The World
Three hundred years after the end of the world as humanity knew it, the gears of an old plan slowly begin to move again, as a group of self-imposed reincarnators, along with their equally unlikely companions, gather once again to set things right... but does the world they plan to restore need, or even want, their help? Follow the misadventures of an eclectic bunch of genius misfits as they attempt to assemble and fix the world they accidentally devastated in the past. ~~~ Author's note: This is actually the first volume of a novel I wrote nearly a decade ago for the VNDB discussion boards, taking inspiration from the random off-topic ramblings that characterized the golden age of the community. After sevear years and countless rewrites, it is pretty much unrecognizable, but while it is not fit for professional publishing (due to the fact that several fragments and older versions are still out there on various forums and blogs), I decided it is a waste to just let it sit idly on my hard drive forever. As such, I decided to share it somewhere where people could maybe appreciate it, so here it is.

Avine: The Journey
Avine, the name recorded in the oldest records of faith concerning the creation of the world. The lands of Avine are in turmoil. A lengthy war recently ended. Casualties were terrible, but not limited to the dead alone. Breakdowns occurred in society, and kingdoms struggled with civil unrest and a never-ending stream of refugees. Mariel Bluegale has lived a relatively uneventful life. Largely sheltered from prejudice by her parents Serin and Arwaro, she grew up in a kingdom that prospered thanks to its strictly neutral policy. But the winds of war are once more on the horizon. Peace is merely the prelude to a new, even bigger conflict, one which may be decided on the identity of one. Release schedule: One chapter a week for the forseeable future. Reality caught up with me, this means I have to scale back my writing time considerably. I promise to finish it, but it will be in pieces, and likely around holidays. As always, any -painful- errors (spelling, flow, consistency or time) please let me know.
