Prologue
The Return
"In The Year 2022 A.D on Planet Earth a singular event changed the world The Appearance of the Black Towers. They had just appeared out of nowhere. The governments had no answers, the scientists were baffled, the Religious leaders trembled and the Nerds awaited the dangers to come. A week after their first appearance nothing happened until the summer of that year."
"Where over 20,000,000 people disappeared. This caused panic and turmoil. The age group of the disappeared was diverse the oldest being 40 years to the youngest being 12 years."
"You know in my younger years this would have been a great start to either an Isekai, Manwha or a Disney Cartoon that had two awesome seasons and three specials that sneakily placed a Thanks for Watching on their title cards and I would have loved it. I still can't believe I spent 10 years in that hell while only one year had past. I bet my time there would an awesome story."
"But no this story. Well My story is about the aftermath of those Torres Infernales. You may asking why well it's simple."
"Our World wasn't the only one affected by those towers."
Excerpt from The Official Biography of Archmage Luz Noceda-Blight
Saturday June 7 2023
Gravesfield, Connecticut
We find ourselves in a small town known as Gravesfield in the state of Connecticut in the USA. Where we see several people gathered around a large black tower just a few feet away is a small brick wall where dozens upon dozens of photos, drawings, flowers and missing person posters are on it. Among them is a singular woman holding a bouquet of flowers, a book and a framed photo.
She is a Dominican-American woman with tan skin and a medium body frame and brown eyes. She has long curly brown hair with a streak of gray has appeared on the side.
Her attire consists of a pair glasses with red and black frames, green overshirt, dark blue capri-style jeans, pink sneakers, and black earrings.
She is known as Camila Noceda.
She walks up to the wall as she sets down the photo.
The Photo is of a teenage Dominican-American girl with tan skin, dark brown short hair that is usually styled in a pixie cut, and brown eyes. she is wearing Her clothing consists of a pair of ebony earrings, a short-sleeved half-white and half-indigo hooded shirt with cat ears attached to the hood, high-waisted jean shorts, dark gray capris leggings, and a pair of white loafers.
Camila begins to cry a bit.
"Hola Luz it has been a year since you disappeared and esas malditas torres appeared. Dios I still can't believe you're gone. I came here to leave these for you and to apologize." Camila said as she sets down both the photo and flowers.
She wasn't the only one crying she sees other parents, siblings, friends, lovers and families. Also mourned the lost souls taken by the towers.
Camila took a deep breath and began to speak.
"I want to apologize for everything I did. I just wanted to protect you. Because I had a hard time growing up and was worried it would happen to you too. My biggest mistake is protecting you by changing this beautiful good witch into something you aren't." Camila said as she started to cry.
Unknown to Camila a bright light shined from the tower and everyone was gasping and tried to tell her but she ignored them.
"But I can't y este será el mayor arrepentimiento por el resto de mi vida." Camila said as she cries.
"Mamá no voy a perdonarte porque no hay nada que perdonar." A young woman's voice said.
Camila looked up when she did her eyes went wide.
In front of her was a young woman in her early 20's she is dressed in purple robe with brown pants, boots and on her shoulders was a beautiful white hooded cape with gold details. There was also a crescent moon pendent around her neck.
On one of her hands was a simple black staff with an amethyst gem on it. On the other hand was a lantern with a fairy with purple butterfly wings and on her hip was a sword with a red gem on the handle.
The young woman puts down the Lantern and lowered her hood to reveal herself as…
"Mija?" Camila said.
The woman revealed herself as Luz Noceda.
"Hola mama." The now revealed (and alive) Luz said.
"MIJA!" Camila shouted as she rushed to hug her daughter.
Luz did the same.
Mother and Daughter hugged each other were absolutely happy to see each other again.
"Dios, estoy verdaderamente agradecida por darme este momento." Camila said as she cries on her daughters shoulder.
"Igual yo Mama." Luz said doing the same.
Soon Mother and Daughter let each other go. As they looked at one another.
"Mija what happened in there?" Camila asked.
"I'll tell you later but first things first. Amelia can you keep Mama Company." Luz said as she opened the lantern and the fairy flew towards Camila.
Camila was a bit nervous at first but soon she saw how cute she was.
Luz turned around and shouted.
"Ok everyone you can come on out!" Luz shouted as the tower glowed as it revealed a massive crowd coming out.
Soon everyone near the tower realized what had just happened. Soon the rush began as those who vanished and their family, friends and lovers embraced one another. However they weren't the only ones to come out. Otherworldly beings came out as well.
Elves, Dwarves, Beastpeople and others came out as well. Some were offering food and drink. Those that knew how to cook helped out.
What was supposed to a day of mourning turned into a day of celebration and merriment, what a twist.
Luz noticed a man driving a carriage coming out of the tower when she called for Silence.
Luz tapped the ground two times with her staff which got everyone's attention.
"Everyone be quiet!" Luz said as carriage rolls towards Luz and everyone quiets down.
Everyone sees the carriage as those that returned stopped celebrating and mood became somber. Those with hats placed them on their chests.

"What going on Mija?" Camila asked.
"Not all us made it back Mami." Luz said in a somber tone.
Camila knew exactly what she was talking about.
"Dios Mio, how many were lost?" Camila asked.
"It's not the total amount but in the North American sector over fifteen thousand have passed away." Luz said.
Camila was speechless as she hears the sounds of sorrowful cries and silent gratitude. A priest that was with the returning group gave a small prayer for those that had passed away. Soon however the festivities came back to honor the dead.
Though there was a soft somber tone people still celebrated. Soon police cars, ambulances drove in and helicopters flew by. News crews are filming the festivities.
"I am here in Gravesfield live. Where we witnessed the return of those who disappeared due to the Black Towers have returned to Gravesfield Connecticut. We also see some sort of Fantasy creatures hanging out with the Gravesfield citizens." A Reporter said.
She then sees a human in what looked like a hunters garb and next to him was a… catgirl yes an actual catgirl in a similar garb.
The reporter walked up to them.
"Excuse me sir can you tell me about your time within the Tower?" The Reporter asked.
The young man looked at the catgirl who nodded.
"Our time in the tower was hell." The young man said.
"Any specific reason?" The Reporter asked.
"Well… I can only think of one thing was the day I met my wife Lily." The young man said.
"Thank you Charles. But yes it was the best day of my life especially after he freed me along with the others from their bondage." The now named Lily said.
"Bondage? You mean Slavery was legal there?!" The Reporter said as the both of them nodded.
"Yeah my party and I were pissed at this so we raided the caravans and freed them. Lily stuck with me ever since." The now named Charles said.
"I was born into chattel slavery but Charles gave me new life and it wasn't long until I fell in love with him." Lily said.
"Um I need to ask how old are the both of you are?" The Reporter asked.
"I was taken to the tower at 13 and we spent 10 years in that place so I'm 23 years now." Charles said.
"I'm 21 win- I mean 21 years old." Lily said with a smile.
"Oh well I hope you have a happy life together. Just one more thing what was in the carriage?" The Reporter said as she pointed at the carriage with a cloaked man passing out urns.
Charles and Lily's faces turned grim. As Charles said only one words.
"Ashes." Charles said as the Reporters eyes went wide.
"I see… how many?" The Reporter asked.
"I overheard Archmage Noceda saying that in the North American sector that over 15000 had died." Lily said.
"Archmage Noceda?" The Reporter said as Lily points to Luz who was talking with her mother.
"Yeah Archmage Luz Noceda was the one that got us back home." Charles said as Lily nods.
"I see I'll speak to her later but any other comments from either of you?" The Reporter said.
"Yeah I hope that I and my people are safe and that they are adapting well." Lily said.
"As for me Mum, Da and to me siblings Charles O'Hara is back and married." Charles said as Lily chuckles.
The Reporter is walking towards to the Noceda's who were eating a thick and hardy stew.
"Dios mio this is so good. I can't help but feel that this taste familiar." Camila said as she takes another spoonful.
This got a smile from the Dwarf woman that made
"I sure hope so because your countrymen made the recipe this stew is based on. What was it call San-cu-to Domine?" The Dwarf woman said.
"Ah Sancocho Dominicano that's why it tasted familiar. It reminds me of my Abuela's Sancocho. Que en paz descanse." Camila said with a smile.
"My word that's high praise. I hope I honored her." The Dwarf woman said.
"I know so miss." Camila said.
"Call me Yuran Miss Noceda." The now named Yuran said.
"Thank you so much Yuran." Camila said.
"I thank you as well Yuran. You've not only honored your ancestors but mine as well." Luz said.
"Hey Luz!" A voice said.
"Masha, Vee we're over here." Luz said as the two women.
Masha is of medium height, a slim build, medium-tan complexion, and has a chin-length black bob cut in their debut appearance. Masha's nails are done up to be almond shaped and painted yellow, white, purple, and black, in reference to the non-binary flag.
They are dressed in a sort of school uniform with a graduation cap. They have a large book on their back. They are also holding what looks like a mace.
Vee is a basilisk beast demon that has a small, chubby serpentine body with two arms and a tail in place of legs. Her face is round with wide eyes and a turned-up nose. She has a catlike mouth in a "W" shape with two small teeth poking out from her bottom jaw with her lower lip being a dark maroon color. She has pale, swamp-green scales with cream-colored spots on her head, tail, underbelly, and the bottom half of her face. There are tufts of navy-blue hair on her head, back, and ears. Her eyes consist of yellow-gold pupils, black irises, and aqua sclera. She has off-white fins or tufts of hair on the sides and tip of her tail, along with a dull peacock-blue piercing on the tip. She also dress in attire that a thief or assassin would wear.
Camila looked a little shocked about Vee's appearance.
"Ah Vee maybe you should change." Luz said.
"Oh right sorry about that." Vee said as she transforms.
Vee changes into her human form. Her hair is green with blue tips, resembling her fins, and she keeps her basilisk ears which blend into her hair. Her skin color is lighter, though still similar enough to easily pass as a member of the Noceda family. She also retains her basilisk eyes, but the sclera is now white.
"My goodness. Luz who are they?" Camila asked.
"Oh Mami these are some friends I made. The one with the Non-Binary nails is Masha and the girl that transformed is Vee." Luz said.
"Hey there Ms. Noceda I'm a fan of your work. Oh I go by They/Them." Masha said.
"Hi Ma-MS. Noceda." Vee said.
Camila noticed the hiccup and looked at Luz. Luz who was nervous spoke.
"Uh Mami don't be mad I just need to tell you this but I may or may not have adopted Vee as my Sister." Luz said with a blush.
"MIJA?! Why would you do that?!" Camila asked.
"I have saved Luz's life and she saved mine. We became fast friends and soon she and I bonded. After a few years knowing one another Luz adopted me as he sister." Vee explained.
"I see so all of you have been trapped there por diez años." Camila said.
"Indeed it's due to my past of being a prisoner in my world." Vee said as Masha touched her hand.
"Your world? Are you from the Tower?" Camila asked.
"No Mami and this is actually a good Segway to tell that well. Our world wasn't the only one affected." Luz said.
"Que…QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?! ARE YOU SAYING THAT OTROS MUNDOS FUERON AFECTADOS POR ESAS JODIDAS TORRES?!" Camila shouted.
"Mom, mom! It's ok only one other world had been affected by those towers. From what my friends told. The other world that was affected is called the Boiling Isles." Luz said.
"The Boiling Isles? Mija do you need to do a magic ritual or something to get there?" Camila asked.
"No, in fact theirs a portal just behind our house. You know the old cabin in the woods. Which reminds me to buy it so we can secure it." Luz said.
"Vaya, that's convenient." Camila said as the Reporter walks up to them.
"Excuse me but where can I find Archmage Luz Noceda?" The Reporter asked.
"That's me what can I do for you?" Luz asked.
"I'd like to ask some questions about your time at the Black Tower." The Reporter asked as Luz nods.
"Sure ask away." Luz said.
"Ok first Question how old were you when you disappeared?" The Reporter said.
"I was 14 years old when I entered and now I'm 24 years old." Luz said.
So old enough to drink right? The Reporter joked with a small grin.
"Mija." Camila said as she pulls out a green flip-flop or La Chancla.
"Mama tengo vienticuarto anos." Luz said with a flat look on her face.
Camila sighs.
"Just don't get addicted alright." Camila said.
"I won't mom. Anyway anything else you want to ask." Luz said.
"Right I overheard people calling you Archmage. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't Archmages like super old or become court mages." The Reporter said.
"Yeah I know. But not brag but I'm considered to be both the youngest Archmage but also the fifth Archmage back there. Also it's illegal for Archmages to enter the political world or enter into wars unless provoked." Luz said.
"Um thank you? Excuse me if this sounds stupid but why?" The reporter asked.
"From personal experience Archmages are considered to be living WMD's." Luz said as if she was talking about the weather.
Vee and Masha already knew this. But both Camila and the Reporter were horrified at this knowledge.
"Ok one last question I've noticed a ring on your finger. Who's the lucky one?" The Reporter said as Luz's widen.
She now noticed that the illusion on her hand was gone. Revealing a simple gold ring.
"Damn it… Well I wanted to tell mom privately but yes I am married mom." Luz said with a blush.
"Dios mío, mi bebé está casado. When did it happened?" Camila asked.
"5 years ago and you're also a grandma." Luz said with a blush.
Camila squealed at that. Excited to be a grandmother.
"When can we see them?" Camila said excited to see her grandbabies.
"Soon but I need to finish this first. But yes my full name and title is Archmage Luz Noceda-Blight." Luz said.
The Reporter's eyes widen.
"And I'm here to tell that it wasn't just our world that was affected by the Black Towers." Luz said shocking the Reporter.
With that the improvised interview ended and the Reporter left.
The festivities continued well into the night.
But soon the festivities ended and what little hotels in Gravesfield were filled. Those that lived in the town went back to their homes and everyone else camped near the tower.
Luz, Masha, Vee and Camila went back home.
"Luz I am so glad you're home." Camila said as she hugs her daughter.
She then looks at Vee.
"Vee Bienvenida a la familia Noceda Mija." Camila said as she recognized Vee as her daughter.
Vee hugged her new mother as she turns into her Basilisk form.
Luz goes to her room the room she hadn't been in for 10 years.
"Heh I'm so glad I got those bunk beds." Luz said.
Soon the three of them goes into their night clothes. They went on the bunk beds where they would sleep.
Masha and Vee slept on the bottom bunk while Luz slept on the top.
"(Don't Worry Batata I'll be there soon. Manny, Azura wait for me ok)." Luz thought as she slept with a smile on her face.
