Magus Wars : Power

**Magus Wars : Power** is a Story Arc of the Exteria
Multiverse. It takes place on Circonfix and follows the perspective of the
veteran Divine Servants Pyrrha Nikos and Anankos. It is a sequel to Magus Wars: Determination and is followed by Magus Wars : Control.

## Main Arc

### A Whole New World

Pyrrha is summoned by professional mage Iris Grima, who rapidly explains where Pyrrha landed : the plane of Circonfix, where the
next war has already started. She also explains that she summoned Pyrrha to protect her brother, Isac, who has been targeted by an organization, called Equinoxe, and its leader, Killian Hoover, for an unknown reason. Meanwhile, in a secret cave, Isac himself summons Anankos with a mysterious golden key.

While Iris calls Isac to meet up at the Shield headquarters, where Iris works, Pyrrha asks the secretary leader Liam for more
information. He talks about Equinoxe, whose previous leader, Patrick Hoover, has been killed by an assassin sixteen years earlier, and since, it has officially disappeared, split up in three independent enterprises : Scarecrow, a huge network of assassins, Loxat, a professional courtier specialized in disinformation and manipulation, and Merryweather, an excessive private army who likes to clean up the mess let by the other two.

When Isac arrives at the Shield HQ with Anankos, and
after he and Pyrrha recognize each other from a previous war, Iris decides to look for other Servants, hoping to find those Killian Hoover summoned. And to do that, she suggests the group should go to see the doctor Tockey Prower, who kind of knows everything about this world. So she should be aware of the war, and be able to help. The name sounds familiar to Anankos, who comes from the Cheshire plane, where Tockey has reputation and relationships.

### First Encounter

Barely out of the HQ, is the group attacked by an
unknown sniper, apparently aiming at the masters. Anankos summons minions to
protect the masters, as Pyrrha is scratched by a shot, and they both get closer
to the sniper. Pyrrha uses her Advent, using magnetism, and Anankos manages to
corner the sniper and make her go out of the shadows. She revealed herself as
Justine of Sagittarius, and says nothing except that she has a mission. Iris
used a mental spell on her, strangely efficient, and Justine admits that her
master works with Killian Hoover. She was supposed to shoot both Servants, but
she cannot say why, even under Iris’s spell. Anankos understands that she must
be under another spell, far more powerful, probably coming from another Servant.

So the next question was to know which Servant Justine knows. She mentions the
Taurus, a nice guy, the Aquarius, a powerful fire mage, the kimono twins and a
woman, the Gemini, who constantly hides. She also talks about Killian’s
Servants, a girl who never leaves him and another one, far more discreet. And
she is unable to talk more about the second one, so the heroes understand she
must be the responsible of Justine’s mental lock. Snapping out of Iris’s spell,
Justine attempts suicide but is saved by Pyrrha, who notices the strange color
of her wound. In fact, all of Justine’s bullets were enchanted by a strange
poison, which seems both chemical and magical. Anankos cures both Pyrrha and
Justine, and proposes an alliance to the Sagittarius, who accepts. Then, he
executes a ritual to change Justine’s allegiance and give her control to Isac, who has a huge stock of mana.

### Meeting the Doctor

With their new ally, the group takes a bus to go to
see the doctor Prower. While going there, Anankos spots a strange man on
another bus, smiling at him. After a quick analysis, Anankos guesses it is
another Divine Servant, with a colossal divine energy. He did not pay more
attention to it, though, as the group went towards the doctor. They found her
in a vast mansion in the Tropical zone – all of Circonfix lands being huge
microclimates – and she seemed to be more than willing to help the heroes.

Doctor Prower, asking people to call her by her name –
Tockey – was aware that a Magus War has begun, and was investigating on it
herself, despite not having any part in it. She already noted some important
magical signals all over the world, suggesting the group should investigate it.
One close to their position, in the same Tropical zone, one in the Aerial zone,
a whole region designed as an big warehouse, and one in the Submarine zone,
surrounded by water and sea creatures. Also, Tockey noted that all the radars
in the Desert zone, covered by sand, crashed at the same time, which was really
suspect.

### Bull in Garden

After a few minutes of bus, the group arrives in the
National Tropical Park, where they must find the first Servant. He was pretty
easy to find, since he has a pretty good mana and all the animals seemed
attracted to him. The group went to talk to him, and he welcomed them in a
really cool and calm manner, not hiding his identity : Ashley of Taurus. Pyrrha
is the first to propose an alliance, and Ashley accepts. After a quick sparring battle, Ashley recognizes Pyrrha's valor and makes a deal with her : he can help if the alliance of heroes get rid of the Aquarius, who is a thorn in Ashley's master side. Ashley also makes clear that the way the Aquarius is neutralized does not matter. Pyrrha and Anankos accept, despite the strangely accurate request, and go to the next zone.

### After Credits

After Liam is being arrested, there is a quick glance
at Killian’s hideout, where he apparently wakes up cured from his possession.
He looks around him, a little frazzled, and sees that the Tragoedia Seed
disappeared.

## Trivia

• This is the first Magus Wars taking place in
Circonfix, and probably not the last.

• Even if Helena is not seen in this version of the war, her role is still important, since she is used by Liam to achieve certain goals. Like bribing the arbitrator to make him pretend he is in the war, and torturing and almost killing Richard Castle.
