Origins
Evolution. It has shaped the world to what we see now. It has given life the ability to live and prosper. We have been using these abilities to our best advantage. We have grown, expanded, and advanced all over the planet, discovering great treasures to use for a better world. Evolution has helped us become the dominant species.
But, unknown to many, evolution has also taken us on another road.
Ever since humans have been on the planet, there have been those who had evolutional breakthroughs. Beings with abilities that are beyond a regular person's understanding. For thousands of years, their abilities have been manifesting and advancing, becoming more distinct amongst one another, much like we have. Soon, people have begun to discover these beings, these Specials. They have given those people names over the years, such as sorcerers, witches, mutants, necromancers, even gods. Some praised and worshiped them, but most feared them. That fear led to hate. And that hate led to destruction.
One by one, the Specials have been sacrificed, burned, poisoned, beheaded, drowned, and hanged. There was no end to this massacre. Seeing the truth that no one will accept us, we went into hiding. For a long time, we have lived side-by-side with the humans, keeping our talents hidden to avoid more unjustly deaths. No one had any idea who the person was standing beside them.
But it was anything but peaceful. Some Specials weren't as forgiving as others. They thought that the humans were inferior, and the way they discriminatorily killed their fellow beings, have only fueled their rage. We call them Fallen. Many times, they have tried to rid the world of what they thought was pests. The humans fought back, but many lives were lost because of their ignorance to our abilities. The only thing that have kept the Fallen from obtaining world domination have been us; the only people that can match their powers. We fought back, helping the humans to keep the common enemy back. The struggle continues between the Specials and Fallen. Many have died on both sides. Yet, despite our assistance, the humans still fear us. They still discriminate us, and some continue to murder us. So we continue to hide, and soon, our abilities have gone up in myths. Now, in modern society, we are considered a fantasy, stuff people believe is made up and can never be possible. And we're okay with that. It keeps the humans from hunting us down, and we can have normal lives.
There are small organizations of Specials that continue to fight the forces of evil. The government, and the world, has no idea we're making sure their home is not taken over. We have kept the people safe from the Fallen for years, while staying hidden from the humans. But our numbers are diminishing. Recently, there has been a greater evil at play. It has been picking off the Specials. The reason remains a mystery to us, and we have tried everything to figure out its plan.
My name is Elsa Arstider. I have been all over the world, looking for Specials to join my team. The Great Evil is moving, and fast. Whatever its plan is, it must involve the extinction of Specials. Any Specials I find, I protect with my life. I also train them to use their abilities. They're good people, but I fear I will fail to protect them. The Evil is crafty. It appears that it has no weakness. But I will never stop until it's gone. In fact, I may have found the solution.
A Special. The strongest I have ever known, yet I don't think she even knows. I've kept an eye on her for a while, observing her. She's rambunctious, to say the least, but I believe she has potential. She could be beneficial to us. But I need to hurry. I believe the Great Evil is onto the girl, as well. And I don't think it wants some of her cookies.
