Groggily and what she supposed was sometime later, Sara came back to for
what sounded like a tale told to the rest of 'Circle Daybreak' by Lachlan.
As much as she tried to lapse back into the blessed blackness she had
found, it seemed impossible to regain, and so in silence, she ended up
being drawn into the story as woven by Lachlan almost against her will.
"It's a popular perception that Mortals were the first life form on this planet; if not in their current form, then as Witches or some other like it. This is gross misunderstanding which I am not sure how was started.
"However, it is catalogued fact that it was first the sprites and elemental spirits that first walked the planet, before even the existence of basic animals. Of course, there are almost no remains of the large numbers that died out early on in evolution, for one; they are far too small to register and as another; while alive they made barely a notable perception on those not of their kinds. In death, it would be almost impossible to identify what was left of them. Even so, they did live on through the beginning of the Mortal and Animal stages, but as a sort of Underworld, always present, and indeed quite parallel to the one your kinds inhabited, but at the same time, unreachable by any known or recognized means.
"These creatures, while neither good or evil, are intensely curious and without Mortal knowledge have had great impact upon magical creation. Almost all spells made by a witch, big or small, is aided by bunches of these creatures at any given time. When Maya made herself the first Lamia, they were there. As Thierry passed through this world, part of it yet lost to all he had known, they were there. Curiosity will bring them to any sort of power; they have no reason to distinguish it and it has been so since their dawning of time.
"As time went on and the Mortal and Animal populations grew to dominance, further back did these creatures go into their own places known only to them. Less and less magic was practiced as a result, and even when cast, there could no longer be guarantee that any result would come of it. Blind religions took the place of visible magic and those seen to dispute this new way by clinging to their old were seen as threats and killed.
"I'm sure you will already know much of this. It is hardly hidden in your books of history and the like. At this time, I now only offer you the previously unforeseen happenings beneath your recordings.
"More time passed, and the Nightworld was established. Really, there could be no fault in this, in accordance to actions that had been made against people of your type. Fear is a great incentive. It has always been thus, regardless of your kind. At first your laws were in perfect working order, but like all things, it would not be long before this too changed. All things change. It is the natural way of this world and most others. Prophecy has also been a great definer, and of course, your kind was in possession of a great many of these, even from the beginnings.
"Obivously, as you have seen, the one of most particular importance was that of the Millennium Wild Powers. The arrival of them and what they could bring would be one of the largest changes this side of. well, a long stretch of time in either case. Temporarily, it has succeeded in bringing more kinds into the mix rather than less, although I do admit that both my kind and the demonic were aware of this as a side, and prepared for it long before its happening. There are again different times. All that I have told you remains true today in these new times, only now, there is added confusion. New battles that must be waged. You must not think that this is the end now that you have found and kept all four Wild Powers. Indeed, this is only the beginning!"
