An excerpt from the very long history to my magic, just in case the first two weren't enough.

Origin: The flow of time is a peculiar and often paradoxical thing that is far too complicated to make sense of if one wishes to retain even an ounce of sanity. Countless timelines exist separately alongside each other, never colliding or mingling. In one such timeline, perhaps billions of years into the future of our reality; the world is radically different and history has taken a course for the unexpected. Or perhaps it is to be expected and we are flowing towards it, setting the events in motion even now.

In a world where mages make up only a fraction of the population, the two kinds of people had gotten along reasonably well over the ages. Of course, there had always been voices of protest and dissent - even during the ancient times - but they were few and far in-between enough that no one paid much attention to it. Still, ignoring something doesn't cause its existence to cease. Over time, these voices grew in power, ever so slowly that no one noticed it until it was far too late - exactly like the snowball effect.

No one knows when and where the pebble started rolling, but a series of events led to an all-out war between mages and non mages eventually - far, far in the possible future of this particular timeline. The Sentinel program had secretly been put into effect, even before the hostilities. Their design was worked and reworked to perfection over the centuries until finally, with the greatest creation of magic and science fused together gave birth to the perfect soldiers.

The Sentinels were created from an offshoot of The One Magic and engineered by mankind's greatest scientific minds with one goal. To hunt down mages.

At an age of terror where mages weren't even considered to be human anymore and were retaliating in kind, the tides of war finally turned in favor of the humans. Designed to morph right down at the atomic level in order to counter and destroy their targets, the Sentinels were the greatest enemy a mage could ever face. It had a counter for anything thrown at them - as well as a high resistance to all magic. Their abilities changed to better suit the situation, as expected of a super weapon. Needless to say, it was a massacre. The few mages who survived were forced into hiding. Even then, it wasn't enough. The Sentinels were then reprogrammed and upgraded once again, to lock onto the genetic code of any race that wasn't purely human. It was an unfortunate time to be alive. But that's where this story stops and another begins.
