A Magic Mystery

Chapter 15 Athene in the Human World

In the human world, Athene resumed her old life, working at her job and spending time with her non-magical friends. However, she never forgot about the magical world and her friends there. She kept in touch with Irene and Owen, sending them updates on her life and asking about theirs.

One day, while going about her daily routine in the human world, Athene began to feel something strange. It was a tingling sensation, almost like a pull towards something she couldn't quite understand. At first, she brushed it off as just an odd feeling, but it persisted.It turned out that there were more magical individuals like Athene in the human world than she had ever imagined. These beings, known as "the forgotten," had been living in hiding for centuries, afraid of being persecuted for their abilities.

Athene was both shocked and thrilled to discover this hidden community. She was eager to connect with them and learn more about their lives, their powers, and their struggles. Over time, she became an advocate for the forgotten, helping them navigate the human world and find their place in it.Athene's discovery of the forgotten changed her perspective on life.

She realized that there was much more to the magical world than she had ever imagined, and she felt a renewed sense of purpose in helping others like her. She continued to work at her job while also dedicating herself to supporting the forgotten community, teaching them about the human world, and connecting them with the resources they needed to thrive.

In the years that followed, Athene became a vital part of the forgotten community. She used her own experiences and knowledge to guide others and help them overcome the challenges they faced in the human world. She also continued to stay in touch with Irene and Owen, sharing stories and updates about her work with the forgotten.

Despite the challenges and dangers that came with their unique position, Athene and the forgotten were determined to live full, fulfilling lives. They formed strong bonds with each other, supporting and encouraging one another through thick and thin.

As time passed, Athene and the forgotten community grew stronger and more integrated into the human world. They formed alliances, made friends, and even started families with non-magical individuals. However, this newfound peace was short-lived.One day, without warning, a strange phenomenon occurred.

A crack appeared in the wall between the magical and human worlds, allowing a small but potent amount of magic to seep into the human realm. At first, it was simply curious and exciting, as humans began to experience brief glimpses of the magical world. But soon, the cracks widened, and the influx of magic became dangerous and unpredictable.

Panic and chaos spread throughout the human world. Many people turned to Athene and the forgotten community for help, asking them to contain the magic and protect them from its untamed power. The forgotten were more than willing to assist, using their combined strength and knowledge to try and control the situation.

However, the task proved to be much more difficult than they had anticipated. The magic was wild and untamed, resisting all their attempts to control it. As the days turned into weeks, the situation grew more dire. The humans were becoming increasingly scared and confused. Some even doubted the existence of magic altogether.

With the fate of both the magical and human worlds hanging in the balance, Athene and the forgotten community knew they had to act fast. They gathered their strongest mages and combined their powers, channeling all their energy into closing the crack between the worlds. It was a risky move, as the influx of magic had already taken a toll on their strength and endurance.Despite their best efforts, the crack did not close. The magic was too powerful, too unyielding.

Realizing that they could not defeat the magic alone, Athene reached out to her siblings Irene and Owen for help. With their combined knowledge and experience, they formed a plan to harness the power of the crack and use it for good.
