Definition Essay: The Myth Of The Gifted
Millennia ago, two kinds of humans walked the earth, side by side: those who had been gifted with magic—and those who had not.
Most of the Gifted felt it their duty, and their privilege, to protect their ungifted brethren. Most, but not all. Those who would rule over all disguised themselves and sowed seeds of distrust in the minds of the ungifted, knowing distrust would lead to fear, and fear to war. They who scorned the way of peace planned to be the only beings of magic left standing.
Refusing to take up arms against their ungifted brethren, the Gifted created a realm that would become their new homeland. Some of the gifted chose to stay behind, live in secret, and protect where they could. But there was a consequence to this choice, and
the time would come when the Great Separation would end.
So was born the Prophecy, that one day three women would leave the homeland, each seeking her two destined mates. And the children of these triads would be ready for the earth and her inhabitants, when they were needed the most.
Meghan Clark’s introduction to life in the big city of Indianapolis turned traumatic when she was targeted by a conman and threaten with exposure as a witch. Licking her wounds, she relocated to the small town of Paisley North Carolina, where she finds a comfortable life. With her jams and creams and small glass figurines, she’s content to use her magic only in secrecy.
Ryan and Jeremy Jones experienced a miracle when they were in their teens: somehow, they were able to prevent a tragic accident from taking their father. As adults, they continue to seek the truth of their power through their popular television show. They know when they meet Meghan that she holds the answers to their questions. But can they convince her they mean her no harm? And can they stop the two warlocks sent to destroy them all?
