Prologue:
Fire, Earth, Water and Air, for years we have held the control of the elements and been protection to the raise of man. Silently watching in the night and hiding during the day in the safety in the forests. We never asked for anything in return and didn't receive anything. For millennia we kept our distance from man in hopes to keep ourselves in secrecy but all of that changed in the travels to the new world.
A man found one of us in the woods while he was hunting and she fell for him. He brought her back to the village where he lived but many feared her for no one knew her or where she came from. They didn't care and he took her for his bride. One wasn't happy with the couples union and did everything in her power to bring them apart. Then one day after her last attempt didn't work she fallowed the woman into the woods and found their secret.
Burning, that's what awaited our kind after that day. The woman accused the girl from the woods of something much worse than what she saw. After that day those of us that were caught in the woods were burned alive. Many innocents died in the days that fallowed and those that lived were never the same. Our efforts to stay a secret became even more urgent than before and after a while we were able to blend with the forest when man was afoot.
In the years that fallowed the hunts for our kind became less and less known until one day they passed into legend. The raise of man it seemed wanted to forget the burnings and deaths in that little village. They stopped hunting us for a time and the legend of Salem became nothing more than myth. Years had passed and it seemed that the raise of man had taken a better view one the ways of our kind.
We could now come out of hiding and practice our rituals in the open without question. A century passed in peace between our raises and we were happy with the way the world was accepting us. Neither of our raises knew what was brewing in the dark places of the world. Our harmonious existence was about to be ripped apart.
What none had predicted soon came to light and it was planning our destruction. My kind had feared this would happen but hoped for the better. The raise of man, whom we had protected for centuries and millennia past, had betrayed us. What we thought had ended in Salem had come back to hunt us again. Only this time, we were in far greater danger than before. Because this time, there was no where to hide. Or so we thought...
