Thebooksofbeginning Stories

Years after the events of Dance of Magic, the Wibberly siblings and their friends are all grown up and have made lives for themselves in the magical world. Emma hunts down magical threats as a warrior, Michael works to unify the magical races, and Kate helps both of them while doing charity work and raising her own three children with her husband, Rafe. It's a time of thriving lives and happiness. But the past has returned to threaten their future. An unexpected enemy wants them destroyed and will do anything to make that happen. The Wibberlys find their old alliances crumbling. And Lili, the eldest of Kate and Rafe's children, is discovering her own power and darkness in the midst of all this chaos. They must race against time and in some cases, through it, to find the only thing that could save them from the evil threatening to swallow them whole. To save everything they hold dear, all generations of Wibberlys, and a few new friends, must come together and fight to ensure history doesn't repeat itself. But will they triumph, or will their worst enemy be the one within?

A new world rises, born from the combined books of beginning, wielded by the magician who had sought after them for millennia. Finally, the Dire Magnus has infinite power in the palm of his hand, the power to to build himself a throne and make the universe kneel at his feet. For those who stand against him and fear his rule, it's a desperate rush to flee from his control, and to search for the hope that seems to be lost forever. Kate Wibberly stands by the Dire Magnus's side. She managed to free her siblings from his claws, but she herself remains in the belly of the beast, trying to gather information and find a way to fix this for everyone while avoiding the suspicions of her enemies. She's balancing on a tightrope with no safety net beneath her. And yet, even while walking this line, allies and magic are still within reach. As the Dire Magnus expands his rule, Kate builds her own coalition, determined to make things right and protect her family, at any cost. This new world is not like the old. The clear divides of good and evil have been blurred, and no longer can anyone win anything by sticking to their morals. This is an age of dark magic, of plots and death, lies and tragic motives, and children who double as the monsters under the bed. For those who have always been careless, it's a playground, for those who live by a noble code, a nightmare. And for Kate, known for her kindness but also her ruthless fighting for those she loves, it's something entirely else. She plays her game well, but eventually, she will have to pick a side. Will she fight alongside the resistance and her family? Or will she accept the crown that her enemy - who is also Rafe, the boy she loves - offers her, and become the queen of his universe? All she knows is once again she has to carry the weight of the world, and whatever choices she makes, there will be sacrifices to go along with them. The clock is ticking, and when it stops, one way or another, Kate's heart will break yet again.

The town of Cambridge Falls is no stranger to the unnerving. For over a century, people have gone missing, and the townsfolk know who to blame. The Dire Magnus, they call him, a sorcerer who rules an enchanted forest, one that's a dark mirror of the woods surrounding their home. He snatches away residents without warning, and now his terrible shadow has fallen upon the Wibberlys. Kate, Michael, and Emma have had a hard life. When they were small, their parents left one day and never returned. Put in the care of their godfather, Gabriel, who moved them to his hometown, the trio has spent years relying only on each other, and their steadfast guardian, all while wondering what happened to their parents. Little do they know their troubles have just begun. After a late night escapade, Michael and Emma become the latest missing locals. The Dire Magnus has taken them to his realm, from which none have ever returned. But Kate and Gabriel will not accept that they are truly gone. Setting out on a rescue mission, the pair venture into the dark, magical domain the town has long feared. No matter what surprises await, they are determined to save their family. Even if, to do so, Kate will have to bargain with the Dire Magnus himself.

They began giggling, Emma saying how a murderer seeing Michael simply wouldn't be able to help himself, he'd just have to murder him, he might even murder him twice, and Michael replying how there was probably a whole bunch of murderers waiting for Emma to get off the train and how they'd have a lottery to see who got to do it. ... Kate just let them go. - John Stephens. A continuation of the original TBOB incorrect quote book, Wibberly, because I insist on making so many of these. Enjoy.

"The Gods don't care about us Nicole! They never did! Use your powers because they're yours, not HERS." The Greek Gods exist, monsters exist and, for unlucky of many, demigods also exist. For their protection, a camp was made. Trained and taught by Quiron, the centaur. And the director being Dionysus, the greek god. Quiron knew the most famous greek heroes, Achilles, Jason, Heracles... The list goes one. He taught the big and only Perseus Jackson, son of Poseidon, Olympus Heroe. He taught Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, Olympus Architect. He met the 7 of the prophecy, Jason Grace, Leo Valdez, Piper McLean, Hazel Levesque and, obviously, Percy and Annie. He met everyone and everything... He saw the world change... Quiron saw everything... He just didn't expect half a dozen teenagers to try to erase everything related to Greco-Roman mythology....

It's been a few months since the books of beginning were destroyed and the Wibberly siblings were reunited with their parents. A few months since they each lost people dear to them. In the aftermath, their parents have tried to adjust them to a normal life, and a normal family dynamic. But the children know that it just doesn't feel right. They can't heal or live like this. Something inside Kate, Michael, and Emma craves the world of magic and their friends in that world. When their parents go out to the store one day and by nightfall have not returned, the Wibberlys become fearful. And a startling attack causes them to have to flee their home in the dead of night and return to the magical world. It turns out the ghosts of the past have come back to haunt them. And while these new loopholes in the boundaries between life of death allow the siblings to reunite with and seek help from some beloved friends, it also means their deadliest enemy is roaming the world once more, hungry for revenge. And so the three are launched into another quest to save their family and discover what could possibly be causing the very foundations of the world to shift. Michael investigates with a fervor, seeking guidance from many friends and allies among the living and the dead. Emma trains to fight to protect her family, helped by the ghost of her dear friend and mentor. And Kate begins to unlock the magic inside of her, magic that could hold the key to saving her family, defeating evil once and for all, and maybe even changing destiny to bring the boy she loves back to her. Together, Kate, Michael, Emma, and their allies are strong. But will that be enough in the face of the Dire Magnus and his overwhelming evil? And do those helping them really have their best intentions at heart?

Together they will learn: 1. Magic is real. 2. Emma knows the word please. 3. Only they can save the world. - John Stephens. A separate place to store the incorrect TBOB quotes I insist on making, so they can finally stop taking up more and more space in my oneshots book. Enjoy.
