"Did this mean every impossible fairy tale was grounded somewhere in absolute truth? Was there anything sane or normal at all, or was everything just magic and ghost stories?" -Bella Swan, New Moon.
Before we can start my story, I have a question to ask you all. Do you believe in magic, fairytales, supernatural things? Do you believe in vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches, mermaids, and voodoo queens? No, I bet you don't. I mean, why would you? It's all just bedtime stories, right? Wrong. Oh, so very wrong. Ignorance can be both a blessing and a curse, however, I am far from ignorant.
I have never had the luxury of living a sheltered life. I have always known about the monsters lurking in the shadows, waiting to prey on ignorant humans. I have always known about the protecters waiting in the wings, ready to destroy the monsters and save said humans.
The monsters were not meant to turn out as evil as they became. No, that was not the intent at all. But free will is an unpredictable thing, and it can sour a person very easily. And once you have monsters, you need something to have the upper hand. Something to restore the balance of things. That's how the protectors were born.
Of course, not every 'monster' race is completely evil. Just as not every 'protector' race is completely good. There's good and bad in everything, yin and yang, night and day. And every creature has a natural enemy. Some even have natural alliances.
There's the classics, like vampires and werewolves being enemies, demons and angels being enemies, but then there are the ones that aren't mentioned in fairytales; like how fairies and mermaids have been at war with each other almost since the beginning of their creation. The amazons have been enemies with the elves ever since the elves found out they could increase their powers by eating human bones.
Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself. After all, there are countless beings that exist that humans are blind to. Even a quick crash course would take all day.
But it doesn't matter what I tell you, does it? Because you won't believe me anyways. Supernatural beings, they don't exist. There's no mystical beings out there waiting to kill you, with other magical beings waiting to aid you. No, that's just crazy, isn't it?
And you definitely wouldn't believe me if I told you that my mother was the person who created it all.
let me know if I should continue.
