Witch is Magical: Meridian Arc Review
This is a story of five young girls who are given extraordinary powers to serve as guardians and to maintain peace and order in the different worlds. And if that is not tough enough, they also have to face the qualms of being thirteen! Friends, love lives, bullies, family problems, you name it! Good thing they have powers to make things a lot easier for them!
Meridian Arc
This is also known as the Meridian Arc or the premier saga where the girls are introduced. They are slowly noticing that they are able to do extraordinary things, "Magical" things that can't be explained any way else. Everything gets cleared up when Yan Lin, Hay Lin's grandmother, told them about their role in the universe as guardians and how they must protect the veil stitching that separates Meridian from the rest of the universe. This was put in place because Meridian is ruled by an evil king named Phobos who will stop at nothing to gain the universe even if it means sucking Meridian dry. It is the guardian's task to defeat Phobos and restore order in Meridian.
Slowly though, Meridian citizens have gotten weary from maltreatment and wanted to cross the veil, and there are 12 portals all over Heatherfield (Witch City) where they can pass through. Part of the guardian's task is to close these portals as if there are a lot who cross, it will break the veil permanently.
One of their best friends, Elyon, just found out that she was the Queen of Meridian and took Phobos' side. She is said to be the Light of Meridian and have more powers than the Witch combined. Has she really turned evil? Will they be able to convince her to become friends again?
Cedric is Phobos' messenger and henchman that returned Elyon to Meridian so that Phobos can such her powers. He is very loyal to Phobos and would one day want to be his whisperer or mystical servant.
