The History of Maji: Escape from Earth
In the midst of the 16th century, a committee of power kings and queens gathered together to discuss a problem. They all had one thing in common, they were magical people. Dwarves, Elves, Fairies, and beasts all filled the room.
The problem they were discussing was humans. The humans had declared war on all magical peoples, due to the human’s fear of magic. Innocent people were dying and the magical people didn’t stand a chance against the superior technology and weaponry of the humans.
A plan was created during the meeting, all magical people would be evacuated off of Earth to find a new home. Where this new home would be and how they would get there was not yet known. “The plan sounds ridiculous,” said some people, “it will never work!” The magical people didn’t accept this plan and it was forgotten for nearly one-hundred years.
In 1639, Jakob Jackson was born. Throughout his childhood, he found magic interesting and wanted to learn how to use it. He was shunned by his family and everyone around him. Magic was not accepted by humans. He grew up to leave his family for a magic school. He wanted to learn the arts of magic more than anything else. Mostly magical people attended this school. The Elves and Dwarves would not even talk to him, because he was human. But he did make some friends; he had become friends with the Spies. Spies are a taller variant of men, able to wield magic. They were generally accepted into this school by the other magical people, but not by the Dwarves, who believed that all men were bad and shouldn’t be accepted into the culture of magical peoples.
Jakob became one of the most powerful human wizards ever to exist. Soon after graduating, he learned about the plan thought up of one-hundred years ago. He wanted to, and believed he could, put that plan into action. He had an idea to create a magical capsule that could transfer the most important magical people to another realm, where they could live happily without the humans.
He would need endorsements and people to transfer for this to work. He would also need help, this plan would require much more magic than he was capable of using. First he traveled to meet with the king and leader of the Spies, Fear-Eye Landon. Landon was a powerful king, so it would be great for Jakob if he could endorse him. “Your majesty,” Jakob bowed, “would you kindly agree to endorse my plan to evacuate magical peoples from Earth.” Landon looked him up and down, “What would gain from this plan?” the intimidating king responded; “Well, if you decided to come with, you could give your son a life without the constant oppression of the humans,” Jakob replied. He knew that Fear-Eye Landon had an adopted son, named William-Spy Gunther, whose family was murdered by the humans. Fear-Eye Landon would give anything for his son to have a good, human-free life, including leaving Earth if he had to. Landon agreed, they decided to build the capsule in North America, it had not been mapped out yet and was not well known to the humans.
Next, he traveled to the Middle-East, the home of the Sandsmen, a subspecies of Dwarf made for the hot, desert climate. He was afraid that the Sandsmen would not let him into their palace, and he was right. The guards would not let him in, no matter what he did to convince them. He was human and the Sandsmen did not like that. Eventually, he found a way to sneak into the palace, he crawled in through an open window.
From here he had no idea what to do; getting caught could have him killed. Soon enough, he found a little boy wandering the palace’s halls. It was the prince of the Sandsmen, Plite Snad! He told the little boy to get his father, the king, and tell him that I have something very important to say. The little boy rushed back with his father and two guards; the king, Plite Guma, shouted at him in the most terrifying voice, “What are you doing in my palace!?” Jakob was frozen in fear, he thought he would surely be executed for trespassing. “Speak now, human!” the guards ordered. “I know of a way you and your people can escape Earth, and get rid of the humans,” Jakob told him. Guma froze, it was obvious that he was now interested but still didn’t trust Jakob. “How can I trust you?” Guma asked. “I’ve already got Fear-Eye Landon endorsing me and planning to come along when we leave,” Plite Guma smirked when hearing that name. “Okay, I will come, as long as my people can live peacefully with a large amount of land that fits our needs,” Jakob agreed to the deal.
After this, Jakob traveled the world to find people to come along; he went to the elves, fairies, angels, beasts, and any other magical peoples that needed his help. After finding everyone that wanted to go with him, he and his new friends, returned to North America, and the capsule. He was greeted by Fear-Eye Landon, and his strongest mages and wizards, working hard to make the capsule.
“Fear-Eye Landon! I didn’t think you would show up,” exclaimed Plite Guma. Landon and Guma were rivals and were always trying to outdo each other. Landon was not pleased to see the Sandsmen here, Spies and Sandsmen had the most powerful kingdoms in the magical race world, they also had the largest rivalry. “You two know each other?” asked Jakob Jackson. “Barely,” Landon responded, “the Plites don’t care anything for me or my people, they only care for themselves, it’s a surprise they even trusted you.” Guma stared him down with hate-filled eyes.
Soon, the capsule was finished. As everyone was going into it, Plite Guma turned to Jakob and said, “Thank you, for giving my people this opportunity. May you live the rest of your life peacefully.” Once everyone was in, the wizards and mages used their magic to blast the capsule into another realm, this was Maji, the realm of magic.
Magical creatures flourished here; dragons, wyverns, sea serpents, and more called this place home. It was beautiful, like a painting come to life. There were no humans here, they would be free from the human’s oppression… but, a greater evil lurked in the darkness. It watched their every move, planning the attack.
