Hello dear reader, it's Fred. It was a bad idea to start writing this because I'm already busy working on my other two fanfics and with my real life, but I couldn't stop my fingers from typing. I got this idea from a dream that I had (well at least some of it) and I've had the idea since March this year. I wrote half of the first chapter but ended up forgetting about it, and now that I found it through my files, I'm eager to continue it.

I'm still deciding whether or not to keep the rating at T (13+). I have some scenes that may or not be used that are 'M' material. Ehh...I'll just keep it at T for now and change if I decide to use those scenes.

Enough chit chat, time to start reading.

"Baa-chan, baa-chan!" A little boy calls. He pulls on his grandmother's dress to wake her up.

And so she did with a bolt. She looked down at her grandchild, surprised from the sudden tug but smiled. "What is it my dear?"

His blue eyes twinkled and a grin broke out. "It's story time!"

The old woman looked at the ticking coo-coo clock on the wall then back to her eager grandchild. "Oh, why yes it is. What should the story be tonight?"

"Anything that I haven't heard from you yet." He was picked up into his grandmother's embrace and was rocked back and forth in her old rocking chair. He cuddled into her body further to keep warm.

"Anything, hm..." She paused to think about which story to tell this night. She looked around the room to find an object that would help her come up with something to satisfy the little boy in her arms. Her eyes rested on a painting of a man and woman holding hands, and a sudden idea popped up in her head.

"Five hundred years ago there lived a nymph named Clestia. She fell in love with a human –"

"Ehh! Baa-chan, I don't want to hear a love story."

She chuckled. "It's a real story and it's not the sappy love stories you read in romance books. Trust me, you'll love it."

"Fine." He said, trusting in the elder's words.

She waited for anymore talking the boy was going to do, but found none. She cleared her throat to begin her story once more. "At the time, it was a disgusting action to love a human. Creatures that wielded magic were on the top of the monarchy, while humans were merely peasants. It was common to see many humans scouring the rubbish bins the magical creatures threw away. They were discriminated; being reduced to slaves because of the differences between the races."

"What? I don't understand those words, baa-chan." He was only four, still learning how to read and understand.

"It means that the magical creatures didn't like the humans because we were different. They treated them like they were trash and beat them up sometimes."

"Oh no! That's not nice. What bad people." His face grew solemn. Instead of looking up at his grandmother's face, he drew his attention to his small hands. "Does that mean I'm a bad guy too?" His voice quivered.

She patted his soft hair and gave it a kiss. "No, not at all dear. Just because you are a Fein (pronounced as f-Ain) doesn't mean you're bad. Feins and humans are friends now so you don't need to worry." She reassured him with a smile. "All the magical creatures are."

The grin returned to his cheeks and his orange fox ears twitched with delight. His small orange and white tail swayed from side to side. "I don't like awful people like them and I don't want to be like they were."

"It is awful – yes, but we are getting off topic here. Now let me tell my story without any more disturbances or off to bed you go."

He nodded his head immediately. The boy didn't like to sleep.

"Anyways, Clestia's loved a human male named Zerek. He was a brave man and wanted equality as did she. He soon also fell in love with the nymph but their love was forbidden. Not knowing what to do to get people to acknowledge their love was pure, she went to a witch. The witch was known for being crazy and tricking people, none-the-less Celestia went to her. Clestia decided to take a chance with the witch because there weren't any other people that would be willing to help. 'You won't know until you try' is what she thought." She looked down to see if her grandchild was still with her. And he was, peering up at her without the slightest hint of drowsiness. He was silent meaning that he was interested. "Once she went to the old lady, she asked for a potion that would make her a human so that she could be on the same class as her beloved. She paid a lot of money to the woman and you know what she gave her?"

"It was a frog potion, wasn't it baa-chan?" He said with certainty.

The old woman chuckled once more. "No, even worse!"

"What's even worse than being turned into a frog?! A rat? I'm not too fond of rats."

"Instead of being turned into a human, a frog or a rat for that matter, the potion made the nymph lose her sight. She was as blind as a bat because she drank the blood of an angel."

"What a scam! All of her money was spent on blood and she didn't get what she wanted." He frowned and crossed his arms to his chest.

"It was a scam, but you did know what good thing happened to her after drinking the blood?" She received a shake from his head as an answer. "The blood didn't sit too well in her stomach. It mixed in with her DNA and caused her to be blind, but it also gave her an ability that no other magical creature had. She was able to do a certain trick with her eyes then she was able to see into the hearts of others. She knew who they loved, their truest desires, or the deepest darkest secrets they held."

"That's a pretty cool ability, but what happened to their love? Zerek and Clestia?"

"After finding out what Clestia did, Zerek decided to run away with her. Her parents wouldn't approve of their relationship and he thought that her parents would end up killing her. It was different back then; if one had a disability, they would kill the child. Plus, what she did would have embarrassed her family; she would bring shame to their household. Clestia would have died if she went back home and so they ran off to a village far from their homeland. They lived happily ever after and had a few children. The end! It's time to sleep for you. Hustle into bed now." He was light making it easier for her old bones to carry him off to the large king-sized bed.

"No, but wait, there's more to the story isn't there? You rushed the ending, and you usually don't talk so quick unless there's something to hide. Come on baa-chan, tell me. I won't go to sleep then." He sat on the large bed with his arms crossed and his feet crisscrossed. He was a stubborn child and so his grandma had no choice but to tell him.

"You must keep this a secret though." They pinky promised. "The angel blood actually cursed her family. After every hundred years, there is another born blind, all with a different ability. It gets dangerous every time, they say."

He got up from his sitting position and into the warm blankets. He looked like a mouse compared to the bed. "Does that mean that I can meet him? Can I be his friend?"

She thought for a moment. "Why yes, you can. I think the child could be roughly around your age now. And keep in mind that it is a she; the child is always born as a female of any race. Now, it is time for you to sleep, young prince."

The Fein yawned. His ears dropped as did his eyes. "G-good….night, baa…chan…."

She whispered "good night" to him as well. He was as abrupt as a volcano; a burst of energy, happy as can be, then one second later tired and can no longer move. She closed the door and headed down the halls towards her chamber. "Hohohoho." Her laughs echoed through the castle. "Perhaps he will meet the child one day, who knows?"

Well how was the prologue? Confusing? Yes? Sorta?

Everything will be explained in the next chapter, so look forward to it.

Please note that I will only be posting 2 more chapters of this story to see how this goes. If I receive positive feedback then I shall continue it after those 2 chapters, so leave a review or pm me if you want more *wink wink*

You can check on the progress of my pieces on my profile. I update it after I write every time.

Thank you for reading! And please read my other fanfics if you've got time to spare. Have a nice day minna-san!
