Hello, and welcome to my story!
'Just Another Day' is a Magistream Story based around an old OC of mine. I'll be using this first post as sort of a Lore keepsake, where world building and backgrounds are stored and updated as the story continues.
The second post will contain more character history, for a better understanding of who you're reading about! This will only host human histories, and only with the characters I own.
The third post will contain the story's table of contents, and a small update log. After that, it'll be story posts! You're more than free to comment and post after a chapter has been made (: If you have any questions you can always PM me and I'll be happy to answer them there.

Worldbuilding Bullets:
Spoiler
o. No one is pure Magi. It takes generations upon generations of Magi-blood to be strong enough to produce someone considered "pure magi", and pure magi isn't something to be proud of.
o. Any Magis regardless of their blood lineage will either receive their Keep Letter on their 15th birthday, or come into possession of it through 'Desemnare' which is a similar to The Hunger Games' 'Reaping'.
o. Magi's aren't able to enter their Keep or live at their designated Keep until they've received their Letter or have been selected to do so.
o. The Magistream world (Nehkra) moves differently than on Earth. No one knows how much different, some don't experience a shift in time at all.
o. Magi's are only allowed to live in their Keep for a maximum of two Nehkra years at a time, which is why most Magi families remain on Earth.
--- Some Magi are able to 'bind' themselves to the Nehkra, but it requires things no one is willing to speak of.
o. Each Magi is born with a little bit of selective magic. Tiny traces of it that can be strengthened and built upon once they're able to live full time at their Keep.
o. The world is expansive and so very lonely, and there aren't enough books or explorers to fill in the blanks about it. There are no cities, you are a Keep onto your own. Other Magi's visiting is unheard of unless they're seeking riches, creatures or worse.

If you don't receive your letter, you're automatically entered into the Desemnare. Twice a year, once during the Spring Equinox and the Winter Equinox, a letter from Thane will be sent out to only two Magi's, and they'll have to go to their Keep immediately in order to keep up with those who have already received their letter, as there is much to learn and teach with their generation of Magi. They'll have exactly 24 hours to collect, gather and sort any belongings with their respective parents/guardians, and once those 24 hours are up, they're sent to their Keep for the designated two years.
Spoiler
Keeps are generally huge fortresses much like the one seen in the banner. No one knows how they're made, if they're created by magic or humans, or if they simply pop up, or move around when a Magi passes on. Some are stylized a little differently. Some look like watch towers, others look like castles, others are simply built into whatever environment, grown in over time. Some Keeps are kept in families, passing down from generation to generation whenever possible. Some keeps are new, and unfamiliar and absolutely need a Magi to tame them. All Keeps are different, but all Keeps are meant to home and shelter their selected Magi.
