how many people does it take to rule the world?
[justify] Most humans are just that - humans. So blissfully ignorant, living their simple lives, day to day, with no concerns other than that of tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow.
Very few of those humans, and I mean very few - less than five at a time - aren't actually humans at all. We call them conjurors, and there's almost no way to tell humans and conjurors apart, unless you know something. But knowing something is usually what gets you killed.
Allow me to explain: Every conjuror can use magic, while no human could ever dream of possessing this amazing ability. In the old myths, conjurors discreetly directed the events of the world simply by existing. Their presence would bring happiness, wealth, and prosperity to all. However, there is a catch, of course. For every conjuror born, there is also a nova. Novas and conjurors are essentially the same, and when referring to magic people in general, we use the term "magus," and "magi" when plural. But, there is a single difference between conjurors and novas. It is this: While conjurors radiate positive energy, novas emanate negativity. Hate, despair, and desolation. It is the sole purpose of conjurors to kill novas, and novas to eliminate the conjurors. When a magus dies, a new magus of the same type is born immediately. This way, the numbers remain even. But because a child cannot fulfill the duties the world demands, the opposite race has more power, for a time.
Unfortunately, this is only the way it used to be. The magi have not been so secretive as of late, and humans are starting to notice some strange activity. All they do is interfere, unaware of how much it hurts them.
And, for a reason I can't explain, there's an odd number of magi.[/justify]
