EVERYONE KNOWS OF THE RIVALRY THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE TWIN MAGICAL ACADEMIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THOUGH, IT IS EASY TO THINK THAT THIS RIVALRY STEMS FROM PURELY WHIMSICAL MEANS THE FACT IS THAT IT IS A DEEP ROOTED HATRED RATHER THAN A FRIENDLY RIVALRY. IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE LUCKY OR UNLUCKY NUMBER SEVEN. THE SEVEN FRIENDS THAT RULED THE ORIGINAL MAGICAL ACADEMY OF THE STATES. IT WAS THESE SEVEN FRIENDS WHOM THE EVIL THAT NOW THREATENS TO RISE ONCE AGAIN FIRST ATTACKED. THE SEVEN BRIGHTEST MINDS IN THE WIZARDING COMMUNITY WERE ATTACKED AND SEPARATED. THE FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN GALBORIX, PONTALON, VENVIR, ZODICO, GRANE, POWELL AND MARLOW WAS DESTROYED. TO EVERYONE IT SEEMED THAT THE GROUP HAD SIMPLY SPLIT IN TWO DUE TO A DIFFERENCE IN IDEALS AND MORALS. THE TRUTH, HOWEVER WAS A MUCH DARKER ONE. WITH A FEW WELL PLACED WORDS AND INSULTS THIS EVIL HAD DESTROYED THE ONLY ONES WHO WERE CAPABLE OF STANDING IN THE WAY. THE TWO GRADUATED AND WENT ON TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN SCHOOLS, AND THOUGH POPULAR NONE COULD RIVAL THE ORIGINAL ACADEMY. GALBORIX, ZODICO, PONTALON AND VENVIR FOUNDED EAST COAST ACADEMY OF MAGIC CALLED ECAM FOR SHORT. GRANE, POWELL AND MARLOW FOUNDED WEST COAST ACADEMY OF MAGIC TAKING IN ONLY THE WEALTHIEST AND MOST TALENTED. WHILE THE YEARS PASSED THE EVIL HAD BEEN BIDING IT'S TIME GROWING IN POWER AND NUMBER TO TAKE OVER THE WIZARDING WORLD. THIRTY YEARS LATER IT STRUCK IT'S FIRST VICTIM THE UNWORTHY STUDENTS OF THE ACADEMY OF MAGIC. KNOWING THAT THE ONLY CHANCE THEY HAD TO DESTROY THIS EVIL WAS IN THEIR REUNION THE SEVEN FACED OFF AGAINST IT. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DESTROY IT BUT BOUND IT TO THE WALLS OF WCAM. THE SEVEN WERE KILLED IN THE ATTACK AND THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAD OCCURRED WAS LOST. EVERYONE BELIEVED THAT THEY HAD SIMPLY KILLED EACH OTHER OFF IN A GREAT DUEL. IT WAS A TRAGIC MOMENT WHERE NO ONE KNEW OF THEIR SACRIFICE. YEARS LATER THE EVIL THAT HAD BEEN IMPRISONED IS THREATENING TO RISE ONCE MORE AS THE BONDS THAT HOLD IT TO THE WALLS GROW WEAK. A NEW SEVEN ARE NEEDED AND ARE THOUGHT TO BE FOUND AMONGST THE STUDENTS. RUMORS RISE THAT SOMETHING IS ATTACKING STUDENTS ON THE GROUNDS AND THE FEW LEGENDS THAT REMAIN OF THIS EVIL ARE QUICKLY KILLED. WILL THE NEW HEROES RISE AND ARE THEY READY.IN A WAR THAT ENCOMPASSES EVERYTHING ONLY A FEW CAN REMAIN NEUTRAL. ARE YOU READY?
