The Academy is silent.
Until it is not.
“Return.”
A loud booming sound suddenly echoes throughout the concrete walls of the looming Academy, students grasping at pillars and screaming with sharp voices as the structure shakes, a bright violet light shining from the Great Hall. The silence is swallowed by the pleading cries of first years and alarmed orders of teachers.
From where the light originated from, a black haired boy watches through a crack in the doorway with wide, dark eyes. Six familiar figures fade from existence, right in front of the keystones that gave them their strength, the island’s beloved Wardens transforming into little white lights and spirits the color of their element, flickering off to their respective areas just as fast as they appeared. The Keystones dim and shudder, and the boy runs away, fear guiding his limbs to an exit.
In the same room, a seventh, darker figure allows themselves a wide, victorious grin.
“Reawaken.”
The floors tilt and the building shakes, the screams of hundreds of wizards rising as the Academy falls, no longer suspended by magic they took for granted. The rocky edges of the floating island slide into place at the crater just underneath, sharp ridges slotting into deep grooves and the ground trembling with the sudden change. From around the island, wizards, merlings, fairies, slimes–anyone that inhabited it could feel the earth quiver and see the large cloud of dust rise from the center, dark clouds slowly circling towards where the Academy once floated proudly.
“Revolt.”
Back in the hall of an Academy long since evacuated, six trainees stare at the empty space their mentors once stood in, horror etched into their faces. They turn to the Keystones, waiting for a power to save everyone, but the circle of gems disappear in a flash, scattered away. The figure turns to them, and they can only shrink back.
Nearby, an Academy Keeper is strewn across a bloodied floor, snapped golden chains and scattered blue dust of what was once an amulet next to his fallen body.
At the edges of the island, a thin violet layer begins to rise.
The barrier goes up.
The world is forever changed.
“Restore.”

okay, first and hopefully last attempt at getting back into the rp groove!!
wb:
-gale dead
-storm is puppet
-trainees in hiding and likely separated
--abner, vanessa, and lucas are also probably in hiding but im making that child commit the runaway to find the other children
---greenie is in like, extra hiding because he is warden. must be fun.
-barrier around island stopping magic
-warden kids separated from each other
-people know what magic is and stuff and people can do little sparks/flickers/droplets/sprouts/frosts and it's only been 15 years since the whole thing started so i believe the concept of "wizard" and "element" still exists, it's just not. applicable in any way.
-wardens kids do not know they are wardens. im sure ian will figure it out again tho
-korathius and lillian are pearl's relevant characters and children's link to trainees
-im just going to assign ansat and ben to lane & chase, felix to Lucas, and olivia to samantha. sorry Vivian, you've got an orphaned loner.
plot:
-kids have dreams about each other
-chase becomes a puppet somewhere down the line (save him!!!)
-go on a mission to meet each other (probably happens before the chase rescue so the gang can rescue him as a group)
-learn about trainees from chase who learned through storm and then find those guys through kora n' lillian
-learn about disaster that was the shadow v warden battle
-timekeeper or some kind of timetraveling thing appears!! (somehow)
-warden kids + ansbenfelivia go back in time n' defeat shadow with the ol' wardens.
--we'll make warden characters later because all we have are Florian, Ada, and Anton, with storm n' water being a little bit known and literally nothing on fire.
---im also asking for this because my brain is whirring with the idea of rping with earlier generations in rotw again and having established character would. help. with that. a lot.
-ending. after that sort of giant change their return to the present should be different but idk how we plan on making it different. we'll figure that out if we ever make it to that point tho.
anyways, rp!@Forbidden Lloyd @AlyssSolo @EuphoricandVibin @Xansatsuken @Ameythst @Pearl of Prodigia
