Description (Plot):
In the world of Wizards and Witches there are three types of people: those whom kill to purify, those whom kill to justify, and those whom choose not to kill.
Nowadays, it seemed as though everybody had been affected in one way or another by the non-stop “Purification” process. They thought it would end after the Dark Lord Voldermort was killed…but it only made things worse. The Order remained, and so did the ministry, but every time they tried, it seemed as if a person who was not involved directly in the war was being killed. A casualty of war, they called it. But every time? It seemed as if more bystanders were being killed than actual Aurors or followers of the Dark.
So those who chose not to kill, and wished not to be killed for not choosing a side, fled.
There was nothing else we could do.
The Great Wizard Exodus, as it would soon be called, was led by Elsa Timbeck, a witch so scorned by the war she swore never to help it nor hinder it, but instead pay debt to those she lost by helping others flee from their misery, and destruction. Many would follow her not knowing that even though in theory this was an excellent idea, there were those among them that plotted to take over and take revenge on those that would not choose a side.
With magic far beyond many in the mass, Elsa was said to open the barriers that hid the island of Avalon that was supposed to have been laying dormant, sleeping…awaiting for those who needed her to arrive and claim sanctuary from her. What the community of homeless wanderers were not expecting to find was a mass of muggles that were beyond the doors of Avalon.
During this time, the Wizards/Witches were not the only ones fighting amongst themselves. The Muggles too left their homes and broken family histories behind them, escaping to an unknown world, following an old Wizard by the name of Alec Barnwell, unknowing of his magical abilities before they had set out on their journey to Avalon. Alec was their leader after their flight to Avalon. And when they needed guidance and help, he was the one they turned to, still unknowing of his magical abilities. When Elsa, and the great community of Wizards and Witches arrived, many things had to be discussed including the use of magic in front of those who did not know, for Alec feared the easily corrupted minds of Muggles, and believed in the stereotypes that the wizarding communities had of them. After everything was dealt with and compromises agreed on, Elsa and Alec found that both their people could live together in as much harmony as any other beings as long as certain rules were followed. However, in most cultures…rules never stay unbroken for long. Bubbling within the walls of Avalon, a hidden hate waited its time to arrive to the surface, and to everyone’s great misfortune, it would.
Avalon itself, however, was safe. Or at least, it was safe from outsiders. The island, Avalon itself was not a normal island, but instead it floated with the current in the British Isles, hidden from spectators peeping eyes by magical barriers that made it completely invisible. Only certain people had ever known the secret of finding Avalon, and most whom knew the secret never bothered for fear that the only magical and non-corrupted place on Earth would soon find corruption and evil. Elsa and Alec took that chance. After a few years of peaceful inhabitants between the two people, Alec fell ill. He was very old, and in every man’s life a time comes where he is called to the plane above his path of existence. He passed at the age of one hundred and five, leaving the whole of Avalon under Elsa’s guidance and protection.
Even Elsa didn’t know what was really behind Avalon’s doors and within the barriers of protection that for years, many had called their home, and even began making families with one another. Some of Avalon’s residents are just as evil and twisted and are just as corrupted as many feared would be the case when let into the great midst of Avalon.
However, now is our time to rise and show those who bring corruption into our home. Violence never solved anything, but this time will we really have the choice to leave…or even want to?
