Sapphire Legion

The Sapphire Legion was/is a group of sorcerers lead by Alistair Huntington who opposed his wife Sylvana Huntington in her campaign to rid the world of Nonbloods by turning them all into women with the Gender Curse. Originally, they were a group of sorcerers who followed Alistair and helped him in his efforts to stop Sylvana, but they were disbanded after her original defeat. Currently they are a reformed group of his apprentices and allies fighting to stop Sylvana once again following her freedom from her imprisonment. 
== History ==
The original legion aided Alistair in his efforts against Sylvana and her Enlightened when she first went mad and began efforts to wipe out the Nonblood populace of the world by turning them all into women. Eventually Alistair triumphed and cursed Sylvana into a statue form who would come to take the name Ruby. However, she had anticipated his betrayal and jinxed him so the curse he cast on her would be replicated on him thus her too was cursed ad became the Sapphire Fox. Following this the legion took him away to recover and sealed Sylvana away to ensure she could do no more harm. They then worked with the other sorcerer governments to clean up the mess she had made but were unable to fully transform her victims back to their proper form thus leaving them trapped in their altered bodies. Unknown to them however the victims now carried the Gender Curse that would be passed on to their descendants making them born as the wrong gender. While Alistair knew of this, he chose to take it upon himself to fix the problem his wife had caused and disbanded the original legion beginning his centuries long mission to cure all those afflicted by the curse. 
=== Return of Ruby ===
Over 500 years later two ignorant archeologists unknowingly freed Ruby from her prison in a long-forgotten tomb and once her power was awoken she began her efforts again and made the two her first new Enlightened. However, at the same time Alistair had continued his mission and at last found a new apprentice in a distant descendant, Isabelle Arrington and allies in her friends and family. In his efforts moving into the 21st century Alistair took Isabelle as his apprentice Isabelle greatly furthered the progress in his mission and in time recruited others to their cause. Isabelle's best friend Claire Dupont was recruited for her technical skills but was not made an official apprentice of Alistair. Ashely was recruited soon after she was cured of her own curse and with her own skillset in magic eventually became a secondary apprentice. Chris Young, Isabelle's boyfriend, joined as a third apprentice upon Isabelle's recommendation, though he did have a rough start. His sister Jessica Young was eventually recruited after her drive to better her own skill in magic and vigilantism against sexual harassment caught the eye of Alistair. 
At a later point, Ruby made an effort to restore her own human form by killing Isabelle's mother Norah to use her blood for the necessary ritual. This not only resulted in Alistair and Isabelle hunting down Sylvana but also Isabelle's father Sebastian joining their efforts as well effectively reforming a new Sapphire Legion. Their efforts eventually lead them to Sylvana's hide out where Alistair and Isabelle faced off against her and managed to free her initial thousand few Enlightened from her curse with the help of Chris and Claire, but the resulting battle left Isabelle severely wounded and forced her and Alistair to retreat. Once back on the island Chris was able to heal her and they began efforts to regroup and move against the now restored Sylvana by helping to restore Alistair's human form. This unfortunately required Isabelle donating her blood to Alistair resulting in her losing her power to wield magic for a prolonged period and giving Sylvana time to build up her forces again and recruit more sorcerers to her side. 
=== The Battle of Fox Island ===
After about a week of preparations the legion had formed and regrouped on their base of Alistair's Island where the ritual to restore his human form was to take place. However, the day the final needed blood was collected Chris was tricked by one of Sylvana's followers who had been posing as Isabelle to leading them to the island and thus lead Sylvana and her loyal forces there as well. This resulted in an all-out battle between Sylvana and her followers and the New Sapphire Legion. Alistair and Isabelle were forced to flee into the lower caves of the island to perform the ritual and the rest of the legion stay to fight. Ashley and Sebastion move to face Sylvana head on with little success and Chris, Jessica, and Claire face off against her followers. While Chirs eventually succeeds in killing off most if not all of her followers in a massive explosion caused by detonating power crystals, Ahsley and Sebastian are wounded by Sylvana. The resulting explosion also breaches the curse vault on the island and Sylvana is drawn to the curses. She then uses her own dark magic to unleash them back out into the world to reinfect all those Alistair has cured who then become more Enlightened who begin to spread the curse like a plague similar to the T1-G1 virus. She then laughs in victory and leaves soon after her Enlightened plant an arcane bomb set to destroy the island. Alistair however succeeds in restoring his human form and manages to get to the rest of the legion and teleport them to safe harbor before the bomb goes off. 
=== Retreat to Cinder Isle ===
The Island is destroyed by the bomb leaving the legion devastated but alive to fight another day. In an effort to regroup and recover from the battle Alistair teleported the legion to the nearby Cinder Isle where they met up with some old friends of his, the Houltons who offer them shelter to recover after Alistater helps Gaela, a former cursed and re-cures her. While Chris remains badly wounded from the blast, the rest of the legion manage to mostly recover and head rest for the night. The Next morning there is a bit of animosity in the air due to Alistair being forced admit the truth about his being involved in the creation of the original gender curse the Legion still plans their next move. Director Zephys of the DSC arrives to confront Alistair and admits she and her agency has been keeping tabs on them for a while but now with the outbreak of Sylvana's new curse she asks for their help. Alistair agrees to help prepare himself and the rest of the legion and join the DSC and SPF forces on an attack on Sylvana's new base that they have now learned to be located in the ruins of the village she and Alistair once lived over 500 years ago.
