Prologue

There was once two places called the Underground and the Aboveground. The Underground had many strange creatures of many different shapes, sizes, colors, and races. One of the main races was called the Fae. The Fae were a deadly race that many of the Underground creatures feared. The Fae were made of magic unlike the other races so this made them immortal, for magic never dies unless everyone stopped believing in it. The Fae were immortal but that didn't make them immune to everything. They could easily be killed by a blade which was made of iron and magic. They could also be killed if they brough harm to themselves.

The Fae ruled many of the Underground Kingdoms. There were many types of Fae like Angel Fae, Goblin Fae, Fairy Fae, and Dragon Fae. Many ruled over their kingdoms with a just hand and a kind heart. But they also had to be strong, brave, true, patient, and good hearted. This made their people and land a prosperous and growing place. But some Fae did not rule like that. They were corrupted and that made them evil. This made their people and land dead and dark, where evil could always lurk. But all the Fae had one thing in common in their ruling. They could be challenged for their throne and kingdom any time, any place, anywhere.

But the Aboveground was very different to the Underground. There was only one race up there that could speak in words like them. The Human Race. Humans were a lesser form of the Fae. They were Fae that escaped up there during the dark times that had lost all their magic and abilities. Humans were made of flesh and blood unlike the Fae which were made of Magic. But some humans still had the Magic in them. They either never really believed in the magic or never thought they would have it.

The Aboveground had countries instead of kingdoms that were ruled by governments of Humans. This was very unlike the Underground and to many of the Underground inhabitants, barbaric. But it seemed to work well for the humans for their lives were simple and nothing special. Too many Fae, the humans' lives seemed pointless and dull but to the humans, they found them very entertaining.

The Aboveground and Underground were too different to even try to get along. That was why very few Fae and humans contacted each other. But certain Fae checked in on the humans frequently and some even tried living up there. But it never worked out when Fae and human lived together. Always ended up in disaster.

But there is one legend in the history of the Underground that tells a story of a young Fae girl who was switched for a human girl that lived a successful life up there without distaster or trouble. It was said she was the only Fae ever to do it. But is it just a legend that the people of the Underground made up for they were bored one day? Or is it a true story that would forever change the opinions of the Fae and people of the Underground?
