Rune Magus, stage name, is an up and coming magician and has just been given his first featured show at Ceaser's. What no one knows is that his magic is not illusion; he has two friends, Api and Peri, brother and sister, that no one else can see. Api, female, whose true name is Aphelion, prefers to use the darker side of magic and the more dangerous arts while her brother Peri, real name Perihelion, draws more on the light magic and the healing arts.
Rune wants nothing more than to be the next Houdini, but Api and Peri have an ongoing battle with each other to be the one from whom Rune draws his power. Rune's challenge is to keep his magic from hurting others and himself and ultimately he must decide whether side with dark magic or light.
Will success lead him closer to or farther away from the Son?
Api and Peri are the only two remaining members of an ancient race called Zillah, a Hebrew words which means shadow. Being brother and sister of course they can't reproduce and part of their struggle is what will happen when they are gone. Although ancient, they are not eternal. About 100,000 years or so is their expected life span.
They draw their magic from the elements around them; for instance, Peri can pull water from air and water a garden or end a drought. Api can draw that same water and cause a flood.
They hide from the general population by simply bending the light around them. They chose Rune because he shows signs of being able to do magic for real, no illusion. They think he might descended from a Zillah/human relationship.
That's all I know right now. More research is needed.
