What Happened Here?
Welcome to Holy Oaks City. There are no adults here. Those that lived in or around the city previously either died of a disease known now as An Tarra Dubh (The Black Tar), or disappeared randomly. On the same day the disappearances occurred there was a massive power surge. As it was later discovered there was now a barrier around their massive city. Despite having a radius of hundreds of miles, the citizens are still trapped. Over the course of the following weeks the kids began to discover new powers and abilities. Their beloved pets changed colors and grew strange mutations. Even the wildlife was changed. Some did however remain normal, mortal. Or so they thought.
For some time there was great panic and mass fighting. However; When the newly mutated wildlife began attacking those in the outskirts both sides came together to fight back. The people were able to then settle their differences, at least enough to rebuild the city accordingly. Those who gained abilities were labeled Draiochta "Magic".
Upon reopening the town library it was discovered that these "new" abilities and mutations were not in fact anything new. An entire new wing had been revealed full of strange, magic filled books. As it were, the kids with powers were simply coming into their own. Their parents and those before them also had these abilities but they were able to shield them behind the veil. Those with powers had been able to remain incognito to the mortal eye. Children weren't told about this until their abilities surfaced. So, when the veil was destroyed by one of the elders in a fluke wave of power, it released a horrible disease meant only for genocide of a certain age. The end result was this secluded little bubble of the world. The name Holy Oaks wasn't just a name after all and the ancient trees in the dense forest had released an automatic protective barrier. The question was, was it to keep them in, or keep others out?
As time has gone by many more insane, unexplainable events and surges have washed over the city. New Human Species have been discovered including shapeshifters of viking descent and even freshwater mermaids. Mortals are still discovering new powers and abilities.
People are still looking for answers. Maybe you will be the one to find them.
