Introduction

It began as an ordinary day. Perhaps you were hurrying to work, or walking down to the local market. Perhaps you'd pulled an all nighter in the pub, and were just going home that morning.

Whatever you were doing, you noticed the shift in the world. The sudden burst of electricity in the air, or the fleet of dragons soaring overhead, spreading across the world. Maybe you even suddenly manifested power yourself. Whatever has changed in your life due to this, you know one thing. The magic, the myth from your youth has found it's way into the real world. Scholars have realised that the fairytales and legends of humanity's youth are, in fact, truths and history. The ancient books of apparent nonsense, in languages none still speak, are books of spells and sorcery which only few can read. What doesn't make sense is where all this magic and myth went, and why it has returned so suddenly, so now people must rise to the challenge of finding out why all this happened and who may have caused it.

We join you as your world is turned upside down by the Great Return of Myth, as it's being dubbed. Now you must refind your feet, and find your place in all this upheval. Were you born great, and it's just starting to show itself? Will you achieve greatness through tireless work and study? Or will you have greatness thrust upon you?

Re: [OOC] The gates have reopened... (Open)

Name: Sarah Moore
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Image: Image
Description: Sarah has mousy brown hair, usually up in a ponytail so as not to get in the way. She has very striking, pale, grey-blue eyes. She is an average size, 5'4", and an average weight, 117 pounds.
Clothing: She wears her maid uniform most of the time, and variations thereof, as she's not very afluent. She does have one other dress, which is a very dark blue, but only comes out on special occasions.
Personality: Curious, and a bit of a dreamer. She often entertained the thought of her being able to do magic, and, when alone, would sometimes just experimantally/jokingly say nonsense words to see if anything would happen. It's almost as if she knew what she was on some deep level. She enjoys cooking, which is her main job in the household she works at, and knows how to make all sorts ofluxurious dishes.
History: Sarah was born the seventh daughter of the Moore family, whom had a small farm before it went bust and they had to move away. She was unaware that her mother had also been a seventh daughter, and there is much magic significance in the seventh of a seventh. Perhaps this is what caused Sarah's huge interest in magic, legends and fairytales.
How the return has affected them:
Sarah stepped around the door nervously, peering into the vast library of her workplace. This was her favorite place, and she always used the excuse of cleaning to go in and while away a few hours. She tapped along the rows of books, running her finger along their spines. She did dust some that looked like they needed it, but mostly she just looked at them. She reached up to her favorite book in the whole library, a book of nonsense, which she didn't understand but felt a kinship to. She took it down, and looked through it's pages. She didn't notice the change when it happened, until she stopped flipping the pages, and realised she was looking at english letters. She read a word out loud, phonetically. And nearly jumped out of her skin when sparks of wondrous colours started spewing from the page.
