Saint Anthony, Oklahoma was the kind of town you just passed by on the Interstate as you were traveling Route 66 from St Louis to Los Angeles. You probably didn't even notice you passed it, especially if you blinked.
But for some people, the small little town out in the middle of nowhere offered a special kind of safety. Far away from the prying eyes of the powers-that-be.
Saint Anthony, Oklahoma, also had the privilege of sitting squarely on the intersection of two of the strongest magical ley lines that crossed the American continent... although this was a secret few understood anymore. The native Americans had known it, of course, but they had long since been wiped out by the white man's Manifest Destiny.
Adrien Graves understood the secret, however. He had grown up in Saint Anthony, and had always felt a bit... different. He had been sixteen when his magical powers manifested themselves, in a most tragic way, under duress and defending himself from bullies; the magic had angrily poured out of him and burned Saint Anthony High School to the ground some six years ago. It had been late at night, thank the Goddess, and only a half-dozen of Saint Anthony's ugliest citizens had perished, but everyone knew that he had had something to do with it, although no one suspected magic.
He had been sent away to live with distant relatives in Chicago after the fact. His research into his "condition" led him inexorably to the occult, and he soon discovered his true heritage and power.
Now, Adrien had returned... And he was on a mission...
