It's been twenty years since the government decided to ban all uses of magic, every wizard, mage, and spellcaster in the country have either been thrown out our executed.Everyone fears that it is slowly spreading throughout the world, inch by inch, taking root and growing with every country Central has taken over.What makes it even more ironic is that soldiers are specially trained in some magicks in order to kill anyone who practices it.They get the right to kill for any reason, and because they directly serve the king, they get no punishment and the residents are the ones who have to fear for their lives.One day you could be walking to a local bread bakery and get shot between the eyes point blank just because someone felt like it.Now, it's your turn to fight back, and restore Central to it's rightful glory, but you can't do it alone.
(Tenzin's own thoughts overlapping the overview.)
Personally, I have no idea what to think.I can't go anywhere near my own country because of my clan's past without being threatened.I, am genuinely afraid of facing things like this alone.I don't know what might happen to me or the world.Sometimes, I just sit under a tree curled up under the stars, cold from the freezing winter nights wondering when I'm gonna die, or if it's going to get better and we all survive.Either way, it's not going to be pleasant, and that is why, I won't be doing this alone.I bet I can find more, yeah more.More people like me, who are tired of being afraid, tired of being constantly at risk, tired of just being out cast for doing something they love, or even were born with.It's not our fault we chose to be this way, we were born like this.I will rise, no, WE will rise, from the depths of the shadows, rip apart our dark curtains and take root against Central, and take back what's our's...our freedom and our lives.If we die, we might as well go down fighting.

Last night the snow began to fall, covering about 6 inches of the ground all around.Trees began to change color, the smell in the air became more, "wet".The sound of trucks and men marching out of the massive steel gates of central could be heard from nearly a mile away.Whenever the platoons of armed men and trucks passed by they shook the earth and made it smell like gasoline and gun powder.Inside the armored trucks, faint banging could be heard from inside the vehicles, and wails of the innocent mages dubbed "sinners" were all kept, being transported to their deaths a couple miles away to the east posts, where they would be shot by firing squads or be forced to slave away in sweat shops and ore mines.The inside of the armored trucks were a thin layer of sheet metal coated with a polymer that was specially made to negate any sort of magic activity, so no one could escape.
The growling of a large man inside could easily be heard, making his banging noises dwarf that of the others.He was captured in his sleep, being exhausted from the previous two days, he was captured in the middle of the night and awoke inside the camp, where he was transferred to the trucks.His name, was Tenzin Kurayami.His long time friend, Raze, was captured around a week before, and was put inside the same truck.One of the guards used the back of his rifle to bang on the wall, yelling from the outside.
"Hey mutt!Sit the hell down and shut the fuck up before I skin you alive and make you into a fur coat!"He groaned, staying at the side of the slow moving truck and keeping an eye on it.
"Oi lad, why don't you make me?"Tenzin teased, quickly cracking a plan and smiling.His sharp teeth poking from his lips.
"What did you just say?"
"You heard me laddy, but what are you gonna do about it?"
(Raze, lemme control your character for a few sentences, I won't do it again it's just for context.)
Raze poked Tenzin, not aware of his plan."Hey, listen to him or you'll get us all killed."He whispered in a low tone to avoid being heard.
"Aye, I got this.You'll see."He smirked, banging on the wall harder."Oi!If you're so tough, and you want me to shut up, you're gonna have to come in here and make me lad."
The guard snapped, taking his rifle and a white glove, placing the glove over his right hand and then placing his hand on the back door of the truck."Fine!I'll put your furry ass back in it's place!"
Tenzin smiled, clapping his hands together quietly, as the door slowly opened completely and he stood in the middle of the truck, facing the open door."You really should think more often."He slammed both hands on the metal floor, causing the walls to change shape, pushing the passengers to the middle of the truck, and energy flowing into the ground causing large stone spikes to rise from the ground, impaling the unsuspecting guard from behind in a wonderful display of Alchemy, a special non-magic.He turned back to the passengers, knowing he only had a few seconds."NOW RUN."
Everyone seemed to not think, and just rushed out of the truck, going their separate ways. Tenzin and Raze stayed behind, surrounded by guards as they seemed to be the main focused targets."We'll get the passengers that escaped later, right now we kill these two for lettin' 'em out!"One platoon leader spoke out as the barrels of guns pointed at both of them.There were only a one platoon and 3 trucks, since each branch off to separate roads to go to separate ways, depending on what the new prisioner's fates would be, so Tenzin and Raze didn't have to deal with much.
"And now for the fun part."Tenzin smiled, raising one hand and looking towards Raze.
(Now post!May the odds be ever in your favor.)
