038 - Human Factions

"Hey there, champ, miss, whatever. This is a pre-recorded message. If you're seeing this, congratulations, you've just awakened as a Witch and we estemate now is about when the guidance ritual triggering this response has just finished going over some "Factions" of witches."

Allow me to introduce ourselves; Humans. Or "Mortals" as some witches say. As you may have noticed, we, and I, have some tricks of our own. Contrary to what most Initiator or "Guidance" witches say, such as the witch that guided your awakening just now or you wouldn't be seeing this message, I'm sure you've heard some speil about surveilance and "They nuked our library" or some such, fact is humans and witches have gotten along fine for over a century now.

Sure the nuke thing was more recent, but it's what firmly shook some sense into the broader witch community. That library held some of the most insidious tomes of magic ever written that could- and did -make demons weep. Facts are, we're not some weak incapable sheep to be herded anymore. Not all of us. We're aware of the Treaties of the Masquerade, and we at the O.R.C.... and those suits at Alphazon, act within the bounds of the masquerade to represent human interests. There are some others, but lets keep it simple for now, and we aren't just humans, we just don't isolate ourselves and pretend that we're not. I'm a witch the same as you, but we're still human too, our gifts don't have to change who we are.

Help us, and we help you. We don't relish having to make enemies, but some witches let power get to their head, and they start viewing ungifted humans as pawns or resources to be used or spent.

There are two major "factions" of us, so we'll present it like those you've seen so far.

Rolling film, lets take a look.
