Twenty three years have passed since the Ultimate Battle and during that time the magical community as a whole has been at peace. Confined to the Underworld, demons were left to lick their wounds and organise themselves for the next wave of attack while for the Charmed Ones, the peace gave them each the chance to do something they had always wanted - to live their lives to the full following their dreams and raise families of their own. Piper was able to open her own restaurant while Leo went on to become the Head of Magic School where he was able to mould the young minds of the next generation of witches, including his own sons and daughters and his nieces and nephews, and still does to this day. Phoebe went on to write her own book and became editor of the Bay Mirror while Coop continued his work as a Cupid but gave up his immortality so that he and Phoebe could eventually grow old together. Paige was the only sister of the three who actively continued practicing magic aside from dealing with the odd demon or creature that came into their lives and needed to be vanquished. She finally learned to embrace her Whitelighter side and became a full time Whitelighter as well as a recruiter for Magic School while Henry continued his work as a parole officer and eventually took over as head of the department.
While all of this was going on, the Elders had plans of their own. As a reward for winning the Ultimate Battle, a month after the Charmed Ones were triumphant Prue and Andy were returned to the sisters but there was a condition attached. Having four Charmed Ones would upset the balance of the Power of Three and could result in it being destroyed forever so the condition, which all willingly agreed to, was that Prue would not hold onto her witch powers and would instead become a Whitelighter like Andy although remnants of those powers would remain in her meaning that they could be passed on to any children the two might one day have. The Elders, now more open minded having seen the positive results that can come from the union of a Witch and either a Whitelighter or a Cupid, are now much more relaxed in their ideals and have been known to occasionally encourage Whitelighters and Cupids to pursue love for themselves although they are still vigilant when it comes to one falling in love with a charge.
Cole was also returned a year after the Ultimate Battle by an unknown force and has since been on a quest to redeem himself. Now married which children of his own, Cole is finally happy but the wheels have been set in motion to bring him back into the lives of the Charmed Ones once more. Two years ago a new Source of All Evil was chosen although unknown to any of them the demon chosen has more ties to the Halliwell and Turner families than any of them could ever imagine. Cole and Phoebe's son is the new Source and, after being raised by demons his whole life, he is now finally starting to question who his biological parents really are.
Now all of the original Charmed Ones and their partners have retired from the fight for the greater good and it has been passed to their children. The demons have slowly regrouped and found their way out of the Underworld once more and the citizens of San Francisco are in more danger than ever before. Wyatt and Chris, the eldest children of the Charmed Ones, have taken up the fight against evil while their siblings and cousins, or at least those of them who chose to, complete their education before being thrown right into the thick of the fighting all the while trying to help Henry Jr adjust to a dormant magical gene being awakened in him and the powers that have come with it as a result of a spell gone awry. Rumour has it that a new prophecy has been discovered about certain members of the next generation of Halliwells but this has so far eluded Wyatt and Chris although the two boys are desperately searching for the answers they need if they are to stand a chance against what is to come.
