Background

In a time where magic is real and Christianity never took solid hold as it is now, magic is practiced openly. Thousands of years ago, a war was raged predominantly between two species; witches and demons. Until this time, there were no lines between Good and Evil. Unlike our modern society, AML's calendar is based on this time frame rather than our Christian calendar. The years are not from January to December, but November to October, the New Year being our Halloween; known as Samhain. Since the original month names were from various gods and goddesses, this aspect remained the same. Magical beings do not only live for a few decades, but for a few centuries. It is normal to find people who are two or three hundred years old. As a result, there are not often children. Mortal beings are becoming extinct, and most mortals are Christians who want Magic to be destroyed. But with mortal life expectancy being so much shorter than a magical being's, the fight is not strong. The small town of Sekhmet has not been strongly effective. Especially with the most powerful sorceresses to have ever lived residing a few miles from town, Elara and Nola Bronté.

History

The earliest recorded history is of the Blood War between vampires and witches. The Lord Makrin, then ruler of the vampires, brutally abused mortals and witches. The witches finally banded together and attempted to rid the planet of all the vampires, thus saving themselves and their children from becoming their prey. But Lord Makrin was more powerful than anyone had guessed. Six years after the War began, he captured the most powerful witch living at that time; sixteen year old Corin Détroit. Corin was fed upon by the Lord and his servants for several years. During this time, she met and befriended Lavena. Another powerful witch who was born of a witch and a demon. She had also gained several allies who were more than willing to follow her in a coup d'etat against the Lord. But there was only one thing she required before she could execute her plan; be Turned by Lord Makrin. Being Turned by supposedly the most powerful vampire in the world would make her even more stronger than she already was and she would then have the strength to overcome him.

Lord Makrin fulfilled her needs when he captured her family and brought them to his underground lair. Her wealthy family was forced to watch as the man sucked the life from her. But Corin knew that he would not kill her. He had fallen in love with her. And, as she had suspected, the man later Turned her. Whilst in the process of Turning, the man was able to see everything that she had planned to do. She had to act fast. Now able to communicate telepathically with all the other vampires, she lead them all to victory, ridding them of Lord Makrin in a bloody battle.

Her family, who had been taken hostage in an attempt to prevent Corin from her inevitable actions, was freed. Corin showed her family what she was now capable of. Most begged to be Turned. Some refused the blood, dying of old age, other embraced it. This included her parents, her three sisters, seven brothers, and a few cousins. Sadly, the vampiric blood was too much for her mother. She went mad with the infusion and brought an end to her life one bright morning. Her father gave her her blessing and left for other parts of the world, taking with him her sisters and five of her brothers, starting a new family of Vampire-Witches. Her three cousins and one brother remained in Sekhmet to start their own family.

During this time of rebirth for all vampires, Corin and Lavena met Anastasia Brandt, Jasmine Ocean and Camille Bronté. The five had become fast friends, all holding the ability to lead their people. But Lavena and Anastasia became very close, both sharing many beliefs. They believed that magic was not something that should only be used when necessary, but something that should be used as a benefit to all. Including themselves. Personal Gain was not something they feared. Using magic as a personal tool was only logical to them. And they weren't alone. Many others shared their beliefs and eventually, there was a large enough group to rebel. Lavena and Anastasia decided that it was time to venture out on their own. They were also unsure of the other three. They were all very powerful on their own. They feared that they would one day see Lavena and Anastasia as a crutch; weak beings who would only bring them down. Lavena was also unable to forgive Corin for what had happened to her parents. She knew that it was not she who killed her parents, but it was vampires. And she held a deep hatred for vampires as a result. So they decided to try and rid themselves of the three.

During this time, Anastasia had become pregnant with a daughter. The father seemed scared by the thought of becoming a parent. Soon after the news, he was killed by a witch, leaving Anastasia to raise the child alone. This did not bode well for Sahari Brandt, future leader of Demonriders. It was the beginning of what would develop into a deep seeded hatred for all males. Anastasia raised her daughter in what would be considered a military fashion today. She watched as Lavena and Anastasia planned the rebellion against their supposed friends. Soon after Sahari's twenty fourth birthday, Lavena and Anastasia executed their plans, started what would be later known as The Black War. But their plans went horribly awry.

Corin had more diligent followers than Lavena and Anastasia. She also had Jasmine's powerful clairvoyance, who would later write down many of the prophecies of Sekhmet. Corin was able to defeat Lavena, humiliating her in front of all her followers. She killed Anastasia while Sahari watched, battling nearby. Corin then stripped Lavena and her remaining followers of their wiccan powers, leaving them blood thirsty and immortal vampires of old; powerless in any other respect. She then banished them to the caverns and caves below what would become Sekhmet in later years.

But what Corin didn't know is that Lavena had power on her side. She had married a powerful sorcerer by the name of Dace. Together, they were able to lift the vampiric curse, and regain their stripped powers. The process nearly killed Lavena, which awarded her with the respect of everyone under her. They quickly named her queen. She began to build Kauket; a section that was hidden magically from the rest of the world. She built Kauket Castle for she and her followers to reside. She founded Dragons Lair and named Sahari, who'd become the rider of black Seth, the Demonrider Master. Sadly, the two never really got along, but they tried in honour of Anastasia. Sahari, however, was under an enchantment, cast by her husband, Bryan Draste, who was a Sorcerer. His initial plan had been to overthrow Lavena, but when they were given Dragons Lair, his plans changed.

Things begin to finally settle down for the side of Good, but Camille had been having some strange premonitions. Her premonitions had always been powerful, and were always right. She began to write them all down. They would later become prophecies. She gave birth to first Elara and then Nola, two sisters who would become a fierce force for the side of Good. But when Lavena heard of their prophecy, she wanted to rid herself of the risk. She attacked the home of the sisters, killing their parents, Camille and Dorian Bronté. The sisters were able to stop them from going further, but their parents were lost. As a result, their powers developed slowly. Their aunt, Jasmine Ocean, attempted to help them, but she was busy with her own children, Eve and Lilith.

The sisters did not want anyone else to have to struggle as they did. They purchased Dark Haven and turned it into a school for all Good magical beings. All were welcome. Shortly after, Eve and Lilith opened Twin Magic in honour of their lost family members. Elara and Nola did not know who it was that had made the prophecy about what was known as the Dark Haven curse:

When two worlds in one collide
This will be the final tide

Severed between, ties unclasped
Till one hundred years have passed

This dwelling shall be closed until
The ties be made as one with will


Had they known it was their own mother, they may have heeded its warning. But they did not. They passed it off as something they could avoid.

This came to pass in 1905 ABW in the form of an attack on Sekhmet and Dragon Cove by Lavena and Sahari. Lavena led the demons and warlocks and dark witches in the town and Sahari kept the dragons from protecting the town with her own legion of dragons and riders. For just over a hundred years, dragons were not welcome in the town of Sekhmet. Relations were strained between riders and non-riders because the townsfolk believed that the dragons and dragon riders should have protected them. It was their job. No one believed that they could not get to them. As a result, no one wanted to attend Dark Haven because the school was for riders and non-riders alike. Therefore, as the prophecy said, Elara and Nola were forced to close the doors of Dark Haven.

Plotline


Overall:
There is not a main plotline that only follows the main characters. The main characters are simply in place as guides for the Original characters. All plotlines involve ninety nine percent of the Original Characters. Even individual plots are linked to other characters in some form.

Current:
The Curse of Dark Haven has recently been lifted. Dragons are once again beginning to populate Sekhmet; both Good and Evil. But there is tension in the ranks. Lord Dace, Lavena's husband, has been slain in a rebellion on the night of Samhain. She has gone mad and many fear being near her. But some fear what would happen if the rebellion fail.

Meanwhile, there is fear of a past beast being resurrected. They were once welcome and normal amongst humans, but suddenly turned into bloodthirsty killers. Werewolves were banished and thought to have been hunted into extinction. But the recent attack on a family suggests otherwise.

Dark Haven still remains under the control of demons Christopher and Katina Ford, Katina's soul still within Nola Bronte's body. Chris's fiance, Star Rosery has ended the life of Katina Ford's body, setting Nola's soul free, whichnow lies in a vial protected by her sister, Elara. She and her cousin, Lilith, are currently trying to find a way to get their rightful home, Dark Haven, back.

The arrival of the fifth Elemental, Cassie Wentz, has all the others in a frenzy. Having been found in the Hathor Sector, populated by evil, with the dark priestess Morgana has set doubt in the hearts of the other Elementals; Nena Ocean, Jonathon Matthews and Matthew MacFhionnan. However, she seems to have won Jewel Price, the youngest of the Elementals, which is causing the others to be very concerned for her well-being. Nevertheless, the arrival of Cassie fullfilled a prophecy that there would be a Chosen Five who would come together, summoned by the Spirit Elemental, to form a great power and remove a great force of evil. But with the tension between the Chosen Five, Eve and Morgana, along with the dark sorceress Lucilla, have their doubts if they can come together in time to defeat Lavena.
