Eight years ago Morganthe regained possession over her Deck of Shadows, and the Spiral braced itself for a potentially world-ending blow. With an army of unkillable shades at her command, her sights were set upon Wizard City, bringing death and destruction to old mentors and hometown. In the resulting struggle Merle Ambrose is killed, leaving five young wizards the burden of sealing the sorceress away and slowly rebuilding what remains of their home. This is not the Spiral you knew Inter-realm hostilities threaten relations between Wizard City and the Spiral, a world well known for producing two of the most dangerous mages known to the realms. This is no longer a game Battles between wizards and the monsters that now freely walk the streets are just as deadly as they are dangerous, with no protective charm warping defeated students to the safety of the City remaining. This could be the beginning, or this could be the end With no new wizards emerging from Earth in over eight years, David Milos' abrupt appearance sends shock waves throughout the Spiral as a potential harbinger for a change in fortune in the ongoing battle between harmony and chaos. A weak-willed personality masks a staggering aptitude for necromancy, whose potential David has only begun to tap into. But danger lurks at every corner, and death might dwell closer than within the binds of his spell book... Note- This is a work of fanfiction, based off of the world of Wizard101. The world, its city names, and a few of this work's characters belong to Kingsisle Entertainment. All rights go to them; It takes place around 8 years after the wizard "beats" the game, so it's based off of possible future events.
