The origins of the Wizarding race dates back to the fall of the Western Roman Empire, when Christianity took over most of Europe. 

The Eastern Roman Empire, however, survived. It came to be known as the Byzantine Empire and lasted for another thousand years before it fell to the Ottoman Turks, but there was a problem, as this empire was more Greek than it was Roman. This fact created a rift between our Greek and Roman children later in the future, but that's a story for another time. Our point here is that after the end of our rule, every single person who worshiped the Olympians or wouldn't convert to Christianity were hunted down till the last person. Our legacy was destroyed, our history burnt down and the Flame of power gone from our home. We began to fade and would have faded lest the Fates allowed us to once again, create mortals and breathe life into them. We searched for the Flame and moved over to the new land, which is modern day France, and brought forth a new race of mortals, a new legacy that once again wrote down our history, worshiped us and preserved our culture. 

To convey our gratitude and to prevent them from mass slaughter, each of the Olympians bestowed upon them their blessing to be put to good use and to lead mankind towards a beautiful and peaceful future through development and new discoveries.  The blessing of an Olympian is never permanent if bestowed upon mortals. Every generation the Godly magic wears down a little until it comes to a static at one generation and remains the same henceforth. The godly magic in their blood could only be accessed and used through other elements of the same magical strength as their's. This was how Wands were invented. Different woods and cores that had magical potential were used to carve wands, each different from the other, and each made for a specific person.

The mortals who had migrated to France in due time dubbed these "magic wielding folks" as witches and wizards. In a few centuries' time, France became home to demigods, magical folk and mortals alike, while the Flame of West shifted to the next country: modern-day England.

Then again, nothing ever lasts forever. The peace in the world didn't last either.

500 years after the Olympian center of power shifted to England, France and England began to become a victim of a dangerous civil strife. The magical strength of the two communities was starting to become a social status and gave rise to a great deal of envy and jealousy to such an extent that in a decade's time, the two sides went to war with each other. It was an absolutely devastating civil war, the first of its kind, with heavy losses on both side, rather, at the end of this year-long ordeal, there were a total of 10 survivors left. Four on the wizarding side and six on the demigods' side, mere toddlers those ten at the time. 

Clotho, Atropos and Lachesis, or as they are generally called The Fates declared to separate the two communities, forever, and to erase all record of the Olympians and their legacy from the works of the Wizarding Race and vice versa. And so, the Flame of the West moved across the mighty Atlantic to the newly found land of the Americas, specifically, North America, and has been there ever since. All descendants of the Olympians were warned of the Mare Nostrum, the ancient lands, which also happened to be the land of the Magical Population while the wizards and witches have their own theories about lands outside of Europe. 

Coming to those ten toddlers, the four on the magical side comprised of two wizards and two witches. They grew up training in magic and honing their skills and founded the renowned Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Scotland. Their names were Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. The Titan Hecate, Wielder of the Mist and Goddess of Magic chose to look after this world and also blessed mortals who, in future could be excellent assets to this world. Out of the six demigods, three were Greek and three were Roman. While they trained together throughout their childhood, the hatred in Greeks for the Romans and vice versa could never be forgotten. They parted their ways forever, living on the opposite ends of the continents, growing there numbers and patiently waiting. Whenever they met, they fought. The hatred could never be dissolved, and gave rise to the bloodiest war in American History, the American Civil War.

The rest of it is history, but keep in mind, neither side, demigods or wizards, had anything easy for them. Demigods have had their own share of pain, misery, life-threats, wars, countless battles and loss. They might seem more powerful due to their physical fitness and reflexes, however, the Magical folk must not be underestimated either.

Hello again, dear readers. I know its been really long and I truly apologise for that. This is the only chapter which had me in a fix all year as I couldn't understand how to connect the magical history to the gods while keeping minimum distortion to the actual world history. This is the best solution I could come up with and I hope you guys will like it too. 

Now I am completely aware that I have manipulated world history quite a lot to fit my story in it so please, do not call me out on it. Fiction is hardly ever historically accurate, especially fanfiction XD. But I would definitely like to hear your views and comments on the story and as always, all suggestions and criticisms are welcome.

Thank you for reading my story, guys. Means a lot to me. See you next chapter! And its gonna be sooner than you think ;)

HAPPY READING!!
