the beginning of the change

I was outside on my front porch when there was a bright flash of light and from that moment on everything would slowly start to change. at first everything seemed fine but strange things began to happen first it was the animals and then the insects and finally it was us, humans began to change. it was simple things at first like better eye sight and a clearer mind but as time went on the changes got strange some people were faster some had a better sense of smell but we weren't the only ones to change everything else did to. animals gat smarter and faster some new types of animal species were even appearing. as time went on though we started to lose our foothold as the top of the food chain a new human like species had appeared. when we first found them thay looked no different than us but we soon found out that thay were far more dangerous than we thought and that thay had some type of control over a force that we couldn't see. after a year had gone by in relative peace a war started between us and what had become known as the wanderers. it wouldn't take long before the wanderers got the upper hand in the war as thay had magic and we did not. as the war went on and we managed to capture some of them alive we were able to study how they did their magic. eventually when we finally got the hang of how the wanderers were able to do magic we ourselves were able to do some magic but as in all things some people could do it while others could not. out of all the 7 billion people on the earth only 2 out of every 10 people could do magic. as time went on the military set up training camps for those special people who could do magic so that thay might have a chance at winning the war. so at the age of 20 I got sent to one of these camps to be trained in magic. as I arrived at the camp, on my first day I was assigned a room and shown where my classes would be held. later on in the day as I started to try and learn the simplest of magic I found that it was a lot simpler then I had thought it would be. in the week that followed I would learn not only simple magic but I would be classified as a natural magic user. soon I would start to learn more of the magic that was used in battle so that I could be sent out to help in the war with the wanderers. that night while I was asleep the wanderers attacked the military base that I was in and before I knew what was happening I was thrown into battle to defend the base. after hours of what seemed like endless fighting it was over we had won but many lives were lost and the base had been destroyed.
