Invictus Academy for Young Mages
Invictus Academy for Young Mages started the new term off as usual with a week for new and returning students to arrive at its gates. The academy was situated far from civilization as much of what the students would be learning could be seen as dangerous by the outside public. The history of the school dates back centuries to a group of beings born with magical abilities. These abilities don’t run in their families and it is rare for a child to be born this way. Each one born with a gem that they held in their palm. News travelled fast and each one learned they were not alone. When each of them came of age in their respective cultures they sought each other out. Together they created a small diverse group who decided to travel together to discover their powers. On their journey they had discovered new lands untouched by any other civilization. After a few years they decided to settle down and create the New Order of Magic. This was where they could freely explore their new magic. It also served as a home for the group, some where they could go to after coming back from worldly travels.
A few years after their founding one of the mage’s had returned from a long journey valiantly riding on the back of a dragon. He told them of islands made from great mountains. It was home to dragons. When the mage arrived on the island the dragon approached him. This dragon had a gem located on his shoulder that matched the gem the mage now wore around his neck. Both gems began to glow upon the moment of the meeting. After the phenomenon he felt stronger, more confident. He could also sense the feelings of the dragon, as if they were now connected. After hearing this story he had taken the mages to the mountains and they too were greeted by dragons and they were able to experience what the first mage did.
Over the years, rumors and stories had reached across lands drawing those who were born the same way. Now a days it is more understood that those who are born with magic ability are born along side a dragon egg. The egg hatches when the individual first comes into contact with the magic inside of them, a couple years after they are born. The academy helps those find their dragon, but only when they are ready. Every year the school grows and many of its students go on to powerful mages.
