Hello everyone, so, I'm not exactly sure how well this story is going to be received, so i hope you all enjoy this bit of insanity i came up with.
Prologue
This is the true story of what happened centuries ago. Before the great disaster that whipped out the First Civilization, before the Ones That Came Before came to Earth, Earth was inhabited by the magical creatures who called themselves the Fae. The Fae where magical creatures who lived in peace with the beasts of the land, waters, and sky. They loved the planet where they lived and cared for it, and in time, the earth became a beautiful place, filled with beautiful cities crafted in such a way that the land was not disturbed. It was a beautiful land, and this brought it to the attention of the Ones That Came Before. They saw that the land was fertile, so they decided to take the land for themselves. At first the Ones That Came Before lived in peace with the Fae, but soon their greed got the better of them. The Ones That Came Before wanted more, so they took the land from the Fae.
The Fae saw that the Ones That Came Before were destroying the land to build their cities of metal, a substance foreign to the planet and thus deadly to the Fae. Faced with the possibility of extinction, the fae went to the twin kings of the Fae and asked for help. But the twin kings disagreed. Illumi, who was a peaceful man, thought they should stay out of the Precursor's way and they will eventually stop expanding their empire. However, Sam Heil, Disagreed. He argued that they would not stop until they forced the precursors to leave the planet. So the Fae court was divided into two courts, the Seelie and Unseelie courts. Sam Heil sided with the humans, giving them knowledge that the precursors had kept from them. Knowledge that they have a choice, live a slave, or fight with the Unseelie court and live as a free race.
He gave a weapon stolen from the precursors, a golden sphere, to two humans, Adam and Eve, as a gift of good will. Telling them that he was going to eliminate the Ones That Came Before in a sea of fire. The humans agreed and fought the Ones That Came Before alongside Sam Heil's army. But in the end, the humans turned on the Fae and in his rage, Sam Heil unleashed what was to be known as the Toba Catastrophe. Realizing what he had done, he begged his Brother to help him stop the destruction. But was too late.
While the Ones That Came Before were trying to use technology to stop a disaster that only magic would save them from, Illumi and Sam Heil took the humans underground with their own people, placing them in a deep sleep until the danger was over.
Once the sun's rage had been satisfied, the twin kings went to the surface, and seeing the destruction, decided to never use that spell again, and burned the only copy and scattered its ashes to the wind. For 60 years the humans slept, not ageing, frozen in time, until the fae had restored the land to its original glory.
Finally, the humans were awakened and lead to the surface.
"This land is your home now, as well as ours." Illumi said.
"care for it and it will care for you." Sam Heil advised.
The Fae and the Humans lived in peace, for a time. But eventually, the humans forgot the twin king's advice. They started clearing the land for homes and fields, killing each other to gain more. Forcing the fae into hiding to escape the human's greed.
Feeling the humans had betrayed him, Sam Heil vowed never to help the humans again, and withdrew into his castle deep within the mountain forests of his kingdom while Illumi took his people to the magic forest of his land to protect them, both placing wards to keep unwanted humans out and splitting their land apart, Illumi getting the majority of it while Sam Heil got less as punishment for his actions.
While in Illumi's kingdom, the Fae were allowed to interact with humans, Sam Heil prohibited it. Thus the knowledge of the Fae in his kingdom faded from the human's memories.
Centuries passed and the humans evolved, learning new things from remnants of the precursor cities. Wars were fought, and the Fae faded into legend. Only interfering when a bargain with them was made or when the fighting intruded into their lands.
But then the humans found the cursed iron and made them into tools and weapons. Humans from Illumi's lands traveled to Sam Heil's domain and brought war with them. The Fae of the Unseelie court escaped the war, but the bullets and cannonballs left in the land began to slowly poison them. With a plague on the horizon, Sam Heil's wife begged Illumi for help, but to no avail, revealing that there was no cure for the sickness that was killing her people. Broken heart-ed, the Queen returned and entered the temple of the precursors, asking Juno for help. Juno, knowing that the Fae did all they could to help, and seeing that the Fae would be needed in the future, told the Unseelie Queen that one human might be able to save her people. Elated that there might be hope for her people, the queen told her husband what must be done. But her husband felt that the Humans had betrayed him and refused to let her speak to he man. So for the next year, the Fae continued to die from the Iron sickness.
Unable to see her people suffer any longer, the Princess of the Unseelie court covered her wings with glamor and suck out of the Fae city of Sidhe in search of the Human who would save her people. Hoping that he would be willing to help .
So that's the beginning. Connor comes in later. Hope you enjoy this. leave comments below.
