It has been over a millennium since the war between the vampires and likens ended. But in all honesty it was never truly over. But sence then, two new species of creatures have been discovered. The weres and the mages.
The weres are not just werewolves but werecats, were-anything. Normally anything other than wolves or multi species cats are experiments gone haywire. But even if they are rare, you have met a were something at least once in your life.
Now, for the mages. They prefer to be called the Taren-theneras. They have categorized their abilities as to a people of their kind. The Faunan are mages who can speak with, call upon for help, and understand animals. The Florai are mages who mainly heal, but can use plants in fights. They are among the more dangerous of their kind. The Hahren are the same as the Florai but they can make more than flowers and other small plants fight. They have the power to bend trees to their very will. These, originally thought to be possessed, trees are known as Syvilians, pronounced civilians. Next are the Melanans. They have the ability to bend time to their will in a way. They can speed some things up and slow others down and only those they wish to notice know they are doing so. Finally the talvashoth. They have the power to control any element at will. If it is a form of matter, then they can use it.
Once, long before the vampires even existed, they even controlled the air. But most of the mages don't believe in such a legend. Do you believe, because I know I do. Nothing is impossible. As my mother always said, always be aware. Or is it oblivious, I can never remember.
Let me tell you an even older myth.
One day, long long ago, the supernatural creatures of the world where United. The weres and the likens where not just brothers and sisters at arms, but in some cases, lovers. No one was killed because there was a hybrid recently conceived. Wether they be mage, were, vampire, or liken, they were excepted. The hybrids were a rare occasion as it was so when there was one, they were treated with the best of the best. Until that peace was destroyed by a hybrid.
A hybrid vampire/liken, otherwise known as a viken, fell in love with a rogue mage. He helped her escape but they were caught. He turned, as expected, and tore the entire prison apart. Even his love. He was killed, as where all other hybrids. The mage was the mage king's sister. He banned any hybrid breading for the safety of the people. 'Twas then that the creatures separated, banning each other from their lands. The likens became slaves for the vampires. The weres and the mages stayed separated for many years.
That is, until word of Celene and Michael's daughter. The weres were terrified, fearing the battle the two might start. The mages stayed put. They wanted no reason to have to deal with hybrids, bitten or born. The weres and mages stayed connected, besides their disagreement, as they call it. It was the year 3456 that the likens rediscovered the weres. They attacked, and the weres went to the mages for help.
But I highly doubt that, even as many of everyone's people disappearing every century or two, that they expected the legendary royal blood to be born by then.
I didn't tell you about that little legend did I? No, well keep listening. Once a human is bitten, wether by vampire, weres, or liken their sences would be doubled, if not tripled right. Imagine if one of these creatures bit one of those not lying psychic people out there. What if it was one who could see the future. It did happen, once , but only once.
"Once the blood of the royal lines is reborn the world will crumble at her feet, as she saves the people, and rules our own. On the verge of extinction, the triforce shall re emerge into existence. One day, the true Phoenix, the true grey one, shall rise" they say the woman had said.
