Prologue
Witches, Wizards, Children of Magic, or even "Freaks" or the possessed aren't all fairy tales but they also aren't as bad as everyone says because they're really not mystical or supernatural, they're regular people with extraordinary powers. Nowadays we call them Xiniths or Gifted, evolved humans who have, for lack of a better term, powers. Although superpowers sound so far-fetched, that's how to explain it to average people or even teenagers.
Long ago, Xiniths showed up in different societies and kingdoms at the beginning of the medieval ages, that's where most of your witches and wizards come from but orcs and everything else is still very fake and fairy tales. Anyways, Xiniths were considered outcasts because of they were something no priest or pope could understand so therefore they were sent out. Any settlements they made we're burned or sieged by mercenaries for gold or Templars in the name of their religion.
Xiniths suffered throughout the years and were always crossed from history, covered up and killed or chased away. Some of those conspiracy theory videos of "a higher race" weren't fake, they were real. Xiniths aren't a superior race but they're the evolution of mankind, a subspecies.
Eventually during The Great Depression and during wars when soldiers and authority were less present, Xiniths took opportunity and formed around a leader. A human leader who believed in equality for all, James A. Baker. James A. Baker had been studying for most of his younger years on Xiniths and their uncanny events of popping up in the news then being covered up several times until they vanished from the media.
On April 1st of 1964, James took it upon himself to search out and live among them, that's exactly what he did. After bumping into a Xinith, a fair maiden who needed a lot of convincing to trust him, the Xinith led him into an underground society of many other Xiniths. Minerva Fairavey was her name. Minerva had convinced the others by the end of 1964 to let him stay and study them and to his surprise, they were like any humans in the way they acted. Their culture was the same as other human Americans, their slang, their race, all of it was completely normal. This made him stay, scheming and he started planning protests that would succeed in Xiniths being treated equally because they weren't any different.
Under the city of Detroit, they gathered and planned on marching one last time. Genesis, the underground city withheld the majority of the Xinith population, ready to protest their hearts out. They already made headline news and cracks in society had started to show, citizens started doubting their own countries and started to protest themselves. Xiniths had made a national movement and were confronted. National guard and the military marched towards the movement horde and formed a blockade, they wouldn't move and neither would Xiniths and so a five day, silent standoff took place until the world leaders relented.
James A. Baker being their representative, helped the world leaders pass a series of laws and bills to ensure the proper treatment of Xiniths and finally, from all over the world, millions of Xiniths came out of hiding and intergrated with their countries. Because of the success of the movement, a new government was made.
New leaders were appointed and the World Council was established. The criteria for being a member was that you had to be unbiased to either specific species, a citizen of the country for a year, and had to have a clean record except minor offenses, this ensured that the Council had the best interests in mind for both groups. Asia, America, Canada, and all major nations had a leader that still kept their own political system yet collaborated in a democratic way.
But peace didn't last for long, discrimination ensued and took over in a few weeks of the Xinith acceptance event. Xiniths of all races were kept down in society and punished by the human population. Turf wars began, beatings, some didn't even receive jobs or education, that is until Xiniths were needed to fight fire with fire.
The chaos came with the establishment of The Legion, an extremist Xinith group led by a woman named Zoe Knight. Knight had gathered up her followers slowly for a decade until her people unleashed a terrorist attack in Georgia that spanned the whole state.

2. 16. 1980
Canberra, Australia
Headquarters of the United World Council
"What are you talking about 'Virgina is being attacked?' By who?" Councilman Vernon asked in a rather panicked tone, he had just gotten his usual morning coffee and headed the Board room. "You've got to be kidding me! You mean that nutty James A. Baker was right? Well wait for the Council to respond, in the meantime I want the national guard and all the military on site now!" He slammed the phone down and ran into the Board room and into his seat. He held his mug and swiveled in his chair anxiously, looking around the room. The Headquarters was a dome-like structure with marble and wood being the primary material for the interior. The Board room was like any other council or judicial room, the Council sat above all and faced each other in a half-circle formation.
"Vernon! We need people in Europe! That damned Terrorist group is real and is destroying Paris and advancing into other countries!" Councilwoman Rosetta Stacy ran into the room, her long, curly, red hair bouncing all over the place. Vernon sat up and threw his hands up in the air. "I know! They're in America and destroying Georgia as we speak!" He exclaimed and frantically reviewed reports over his papers which the secretary just brought in.
James had waltzed in, a tall and elegant man with a crisp European accent. His blue eyes gazed at the two who frantically skittered about. He flipped his blondish gray hair out of his face and slammed his cane down. "Councilmen! This is not a time for frantically chasing our tails in desperation it might do something." The two stopped mindlessly freaking out and their attention lied with James. "I have a proposition to The Legion problem." He non-chalantly spun his cane around then took off his hat and slapped papers down on their desks as he walked behind them.
"Minerva and I have been discussing a little bit of a," He paused to think. "A solution to the problem and a way for Xiniths to completely merge with society seamlessly." Vernon and Rosetta read over his supposed proposal and had a silent agreement with each other. "The only terms I have is that Xiniths and Humans are both on the same level as of tomorrow and that the students are treated like kings and queens since they'll be putting their lives down after this comeback." They both nodded and signed it. "We both pass this on behalf of the whole council, now go round up your people and drive them back." James grinned and waltzed out. "Gladly, this will only take a few days." The big dark oak doors slammed shut and wouldn't open until four days later.
******************************
The Xinith forces from all over the globe had rendezvoused at the edge of the warzones and marched over the war torn lands, clad in military uniforms and armed to the teeth. Reports from all over the globe broadcasted live as the Xinith force crushed The Legion's army. Soon Korea, London, Liberia, Georgia, and Moscow had been liberated and the enemy threat retreated back to South America, where they would scheme for the next twenty years.
This story isn't about the liberation and acceptance of another species of humans, its a story about one young man who will bring peace to the world at last after thirty years of war, it's about me.
My name is...

Hey guys! Thanks for staying with me thus far! It's been a ride and I'm sorry for the lack of detail, I'm doing these things in school or at home swimming around in homework.
I'll have an upcoming encyclopedia chapter to explain how things are in this universe!
Signing off,
Peter
