"To Summarize the Veela

By Odishen Deeven

This script was created to inform a specific audience, the Veela, mates of the Veela and anyone who is related to one, but not for pure curiosity (in which I advise you to put this book down if you do not wish to be hexed).

A Veela is, in very short words, a magical creature who is sentient and very sexually oriented. That is not to say that the Veela would rape anyone who crosses their path, in fact they rarely engage in sexual escapades with anyone but their mates. However, the complete meaning of 'sexually oriented' that I mentioned will be further explained in the reading. Now I will separate this brief recapitulation into seven sections; the origins of Veela, the physical aspects of a Veela, the genetics of a Veela, reproduction, the mates of Veelas, the customs and consequences of suppression.

The Origins:

Many have speculated that the Veela come from Sirens, there is half truth in this theory. We have origins that connect to the mer people however not from Sirens specifically, we have aspects of birds, and a great deal of magic, also most Veela's are cunning; this is do to our parentage. The Veela came from the union of Morgan Le Fey and Merlin himself. Although most people who are not Veela would be very spectacle about this claim, this claim was never written in any other book for it is a Veela's secret. Veela's pass this knowledge to their young so we never forget, but not to outsiders (so do not speak of this to anyone else, because from this point on you are enchanted into secrecy). The magical world have speculated enough about us, and I tire of hearing the most obscene and utter rubbish theories many have made about us and our beginning.

Now, as many of you probably (and very well should know) Merlin and Morgan do not have a nice history, in fact there are countless books that can describe the many reasons and forms they hated each other.

There is no concrete proof of Merlin's heritage but many say he is the offspring of an incubus and a human. Merlin was very righteous, powerful, loyal, vindictive in some ways and cunning in others, he is arguably the most powerful sorcerer. Although, some books say that Salazar Slytherin taught him some magic, I believe that they exchanged information instead of one just teaching the other, for Merlin was born and practiced magic before Salazar. He was also very manipulative in fact he actually engineered the birth of King Arthur. Although he cared for many he would turn against anyone who became a threat to Arthur. It was no wonder he was sorted in The House of Slytherin.

Morgan was very much like Merlin, but there were some aspects that clearly showed there differences. Her heritage is very obscure, although one thing is clear she was the product of rape, Arthurs father with his generals wife. It is said that Morgan could shapeshift easily, some saw her as a 'fairy', a mermaid, a beautiful young women who could age at will, some say she was evil other that she was a savior. Some don't believe her mother was human or that she might have been half of another species. She was one of the first to find her Animagus, which is a bird. Morgan held onto grudges, she was very emotional, she would do anything for the people she cared for and would seek revenge for anyone who would wrong her. Morgan was a seductress and a witch of the dark arts, a very powerful one at that, she was also an expert in healing magic. Morgan is a mystery to many even to us, her children.

Morgan at some point in time was Merlin's apprentice, they had a few escapades here and there but nothing solid. It was in the final moment of Merlin's written history that both of these individuals came together.

Merlin was trapped by The Lady of the Lake, many have speculated on who this lady might be, and how she would have trapped Merlin. Many have come up with the most complicated theories and very outrages ones too, but the answer is a very simple one, love. Morgan hid her identity from Merlin when he found her, as the enchantress that she was it was easy to intagle Merlin in her web. Before he knew it he was trapped under the lake with her spell, there she revealed herself to Merlin. Outrage they engaged in battle but stopped when Morgan told Merlin that as she was deceiving him she too fell in love.

Their union birthed the first Veela, no one knows for sure if we were product of their different heritage or if Merlin and Morgan had created a spell that would commemorate their love into their child.

Physical Aspects of a Veela:

A Veela must be to the common eyes the 'Perfect' being. By, perfect I mean no blemishes on their skin, birth defects or anything that would push away a possible mate. Veelas normally have pale skin and fair hair, do to Merlin (fair hair) and Morgana (pale skin), although some might have darker hair.

Males tend to be very tall and Female tend to be slim, both are very strong. However, they are not very buff (to not hurt their mates) or have a large build (so that their mates don't feel intimidated), women have medium sized hips for better birthing. Females tend to have medium to large breast to catch (keep) their mates attention and to ensure that their young have enough to feed.

When the Veela feels threatened their eyes turn completely black to enhance their sight, grown fangs, claws, magical feathers that act as shields to any harmful spell, as well as to flee if it is needed. Other changes include their enhanced sense of smell for poison, their sense of touch is numbed to make sure that any injury does not cause distraction, there is no change in their sense of hearing or shape of ears. A males feathers are larger than a female because their build is larger. The female on the other hand has larger claws and fangs, to hurt their enemy since they do not have such a large build so they rely on speed and tactic.

Genetics of the Veela

Not much is known of the genetics of the Veela due to the fact that the species came to exist because of magic. However, it is safe to safe it is a magically enhanced mutation within the magical human DNA. It mostly affects the skeletal system as well as the magical 'charge' a person can hold.

There is also a mysterious but vital genetic factor that concerns reproduction and our mates.

Reproduction

Males have a larger genitalia than normal males, this is so that their female mates are satisfied and do not stray from them. It also helps with conception, the penis is large enough so that when mating the sperm is always released into the uterus and so the chances of impregnating their mates are higher.

Females have longer menses, to make sure that the days to conceive are longer and the rates much higher. The female Veela menses are different than that of any other female, while she bleeds it does not flow heavy, but just a small stream. In fact the blood is barely noticeable at all, this way their mates will not turn them away.

Reproduction to a Veela is vital, this is the primary reason why we look for our mates so ardently and do anything for them. Because there is a low rate of reproduction, one or two children to each Veela the population is low. Although we do have a much more extensive life span than normal magical beings.

A Veela can only reproduce with their mate, if for whatever reason a child was conceived from a Veela and a non-mate than within a few years that child would self-destruct.

There needs to be balance within the Veela that will help find their mate, with this abomination such a balance is disrupted and doesn't know who is their mates. There is also the fact that this Veela would be born sterile, ending the family line. Still they will try to find the characteristics of there would be mate, they will themselves believe it's truly them. As there are many females and males, many of them would have some characteristics of their future mate, this abomination would want to mate with all, protect all, please all, be faithful to all. As this can not be done the Veela will die.

Mates of Veelas-"

Nope, with that I close the book, it was interesting at first but now it was just boring, mates really?

I'd rather let Dobbie hang me from my knickers.
