Nobody ever believes a child. ~ ~ ~ There has always been superstitions with witches, but the most infamous of times for it was in 1692 in Massachusetts. Some called it a lesson learned, some a waste of time and people. Yet most people called it one thing; the Salem witch trials. From 1692 to 1693 there were fourteen victims; most consisted of women, all hanged except for one. It was a time of unforgiving paranoia; people pointed and unconditionally believed what was said for the sake of security. Afterall, anybody could be withholding a dirty secret from you without your own good in mind. To say the least, those two years were incredibly dark times that all would hope to leave in the past. Unfortunately history repeats itself. One scrambled date later, in 1926, the superstition rises again; but this time it is not in a crowd, but in a single man. Reynold Hawthorne. ~ ~ ~ Witness the revived witches from the infamous trials of 1692. Nobody died on good terms all those centuries years ago. Chaos with a side of snarky, passive aggressive hexing is due for all of the resurrected women - unfortunately, they get walked in on. What's to be done with the man who's seen their witchy business is to be debated.

Robin and Lindsay are both completely average teenagers, or at least until a car accident kills Lindsay. She wakes up a few days later… In Robin’s body. However, the amount of energy it would take to keep another mind alive in a single brain is incredible. Experts suspect Robin might even be a god. In an attempt to fix what has happened to them, Robin and Lindsay accept a full ride scholarship to one of the few parahuman colleges in the country qualified to teach potential gods, the California University of Supernatural Abilities. There, the two best friends meet other students like themselves, whose powers greatly outstrip the average parahuman. For every few hundred humans born completely normal, there are those born gifted. Most of those with abilities are just average people who can do something amazing, but there are a few parahumans whose ability transcends all others. Known as gods, these individuals can manipulate vast amounts of energy to their will, even bending the laws of the universe itself. The average parahuman simply exists alongside humanity; a god can reach far beyond it.
