Many books tell stories of the magical world on the European continent, or as it has often been called the old world. Forces of good and evil have caused clashes for centuries between wizards, ordinary people and strange beasts of the many mountains, forests and caves. On that continent many diverse civilizations developed. Recorded history of the struggles and triumphs is long and detailed. Accurate stories are recorded back hundreds of years. In that part of the world integration between magical ones and ordinary people has been limited and discouraged. Contact with ordinary people is avoided. The lands in America have been called the new world; the name has stuck since those discovery days of the Europeans so many years ago. In the new world there aren't old castles and ancient treasures to fight over. There are no reports of caves with dragons. The beasts never made it across the northern land bridge between Russia and Alaska to inhabit America's vast lands. Wizards and others of the magical persuasion were slow to emigrate and join the early colonists. When Wizards did begin to cross to the new world they arrived sporadically and in small numbers. Everyone arriving in those early times realized that co-operation was necessary for survival. The new world became a great melting pot bringing together diverse cultures. Ways were found to work together, and mutual need built a trust relationship not seen elsewhere in the world between ones of the magical persuasion and ordinary people. A very different tradition developed in America between Wizards and ordinary people. This is a story of how one great instance of co-operation came about.
