A Magical Diary Book One: The Trials

Prologue

Long ago in ancient times, people worshipped gods and goddesses. These gods and goddesses were not perfect as you may expect from such a word, they were far from it. They were as human as they possibly could be; they had feelings, made mistakes, they weren't perfect, and they especially didn't know everything. Once a year these gods would take the form of a human and come down to the land of the people and meet their worshippers. However, there were people with an obsession for power, people who did not care for good and evil. People whose only desire were to be feared and all powerful.

These people planned to overthrow the gods, capture them and seize that power. Such as the fate of Karma their plans had been informed to the gods by a traitor, these all powerful being were enraged. They released their anger in the form of a curse, affecting not only the megalomaniacs but hundreds maybe thousands of innocent people, to bring damage and destruction wherever they ventured. Sadly those whose soul and body were incapable of processing such a thing were changed, changed into creatures of the void with their only thoughts being consumed by a hunger for their former brethren.

Most people under this curse fell into a constant state of sadness from fear of themselves. Most died from either their own power or from the creatures who have an empty void to fill in their soul. However some with a talent for magic and the dark arts put a stop to this curse, learning and mastering ways to control it. They each realized that every curse was different, each had its own specific destructive piece of power and figured out ways to control this curse into a way to favor themselves. These people taught others who thought that it was all hopeless and helped them to learn how to fight against this curse. Sadly many died to the creatures of void leaving few who had the talent to fight them off for themselves. Each soon realized how much fear they could put onto the people of this world, hiding away their powers from the world and separating to different parts of the world and attempting to live as normal lives as possible. These people passed on their powers for generations, hiding in fear of discovery. Few people banned together in order to create a place in which people of these abilities would be safe, where they could sharpen their skills without fear of the creatures or mortals attempting to capture them.

At least that's what they told me. I'm still not sure if I believe them or not, it's all so much to take in. This information flies through my mind a lot since I was given it and I got to say it's really distracting. What are these people on about? And what power do I have..?
