In the mid-1800's a boat full of Spanish sailors sailed was sailing through the Bermuda Triangle. As they traveled across the cursed waters they encountered a storm that no one had ever seen before. As hard as they tried, they were unable to save their boat. They plunged into the waters, they were pushed by the waves to an island that no one had seen the day before. It was as if it had appeared out of nowhere.
They spent the next two months on the island, seeing things occurs around them that would question all they knew for the rest of their lives. When they were rescued, they described the island as "La Isla de Espejismos," The Island of Mirages. As they tried to described what they had been and encountered, they glory turned to shame. They described blizzards in the middle of July, rain during the below freezing temperatures, and events that even they could not describe.
For those who believed their tale, the Island became a place of fear. What could happen on it could also spread to other parts of the world. For those who did not believe the crazy tale, it became an joke between friends. "You're acting strange, been to Espejismo Island lately?" As the joke became more popular, the name stuck, and the island became an urban legend.
After some time, in the same area, people of all ages and races, both gifted ad non-gifted, became stranded on an uncharted island. What would happen there would change their lives forever.
((Edit: This plot is not my original creation. At least the mysterious strange island isn't. I've tweaked it quite a bit. The original plot that I know of was Mirage Island, hence the name I almost kept in a way. Just know that.))
