Hirunus, the senior male archmage was becoming increasingly suspicious of the council of archmages and more specifically the women on the council. There were numerous times when the archmages had met but the two male archmages weren't invited. Typically he never even knew a meeting had been held. The Magistra had him off doing tasks and travelling. Too many coincidences. When he had confided with his male colleague they both realised that they were being deliberately excluded... and only because they were men.
They needed more information. They ran through many scenarios but couldn't come up with any rational reasons explaining their omission. The women were planning something that required secrecy and from men. Fortunately they usually met in the same large theatre. He instituted a plan to make a small hole through the wall to an adjacent room. The sound from their meetings could be magically amplified in the other room and so no magic would be able to be detected in the meeting room. The female archmages were taking precautions to maintain their secrecy from all mages except female archmages. They began to refer to them as witches.
They both agreed that it was vital to find out. They were both staggered once the scope of their plan was discovered. The plan was going to be implemented next year in Cantra first and then in Monagon. It would mean the loss of magic for them and to be changed into small, weak, submissive and passive men with the body of a woman, although they would retain their cocks and balls. Once the change was instigated they would be changed forever without magic and with no way to change back.
They knew Minnerv was ruthless but they didn't realise how ruthless. Even her partner and son had been part of her trials on men! The culmination of her plan was to subjugate and convert all men continent wide and instigate female mage rule forever. If they were discovered, they were sure to be disposed of or prematurely altered. He secretly travelled to Minnerv's estate to do a final confirmation when he knew she was away with the legions. The enlarged women, the smaller men with breasts. Even her own children altered. The chilling reality in front of him was imminent. Her plans were well advanced and close to being commenced in Cantra.
Depression set in for a few weeks as they couldn't see how they could prevent their plan and their own demise. The witches had the numbers and the power. There were hundreds of witches and only two of them. Depression slowly turned to anger. How dare they presume to make such a monumental and permanent decision for all men without their consent or even knowledge. He believed that Monagon was close to being the perfect society. Men and women equal, a meritocracy, programs for science, health, education and much more. They were spreading their culture slowly over the continent, only using violence if they must. There was much work to be done but they had ideals and laws which the witches were ignoring. Perhaps they even believed that they were doing the right thing to eliminate male violence and aggression. From what he knew of Cantra, it was the last place on earth you wanted to be born a female. However to implement a change on all men was an amazing act of hubris.
They had a few options :
- drink the water, loose magic and became a feminised, submissive male : NO
- set up a counter conspiracy of male mages (far fewer and less powerful than female mages) : UNFEASIBLE
- tell the king (mages have all the power) so only likely to cause conflict and unable to prevent the outcome : UNFEASIBLE, but see below
- leave for an offshore island or the far frozen north / south of the continent. Two of the few safe places on the continent : ONLY SOLUTION
- take as many male mages as possible
- research counter magic (need a long time)
- tell the King and High Council later
Their only option was to escape. Once the waterways were contaminated they couldn't avoid drinking tainted water directly or from livestock and plants. Taking as many male mages as possible would be the only way they could form a sustainable society away from Monagaon and the witches. Faking their demise if possible so there would be no pursuit. Minnerv would be implacable if they tried to escape and they couldn't defeat her as an individual let alone with a party of witches arrayed against them. All the male mages on the loose and not neutralised would be far too great a risk for the witches to allow. They would follow them to the ends of the earth in an unrelenting campaign.
They had a year to make their escape. They started regular male mage only expeditions - sailing, hiking, mountaineering, etc. The witches had been doing women only events for decades. The increasing numbers of mages, both male and female made their male only events possible and drew no suspicion. They even ran events for both sexes also which were very popular, to arouse even less suspicion.
Research and maps about islands remote from the mainland were studied and they asked naval explorers about their missions. They were the only two who knew the whole story of what the witches were attempting. Junior mages were not involved.
They planned a week long sailing expedition along the coast to the south. Every male mage except one who was sick was on the boat when they sailed. They had secretly put in substantially more food and fresh water than they needed. There were some mundane male sailors onboard under the pretext of using their voyage as a training mission. Not one woman was aboard, mage or mundane. They were planning to find an island or larger landmass to settle to the far west. If it was unpopulated they would have to sail back at some stage to find women to expand their renegade society.
The first night they moored off shore and explained the situation to everyone onboard. To a man they were outraged and supported their actions. They continued to sail south and at the planned point, away from any populated areas, with no vessels in sight, set sail to the west. They were lucky that there had been a severe storm on the fourth day but they stayed safe in a sheltered bay until it passed. They threw some planks and clothes overboard, including several items that would float. There would surely be a rescue mission to search for them when they never returned.
