Chapter Two: Marie
I am not a monster. In fact, we have been on the earth as long as humankind. We were made when humans were in contact with a certain substance that is rarely seen and not heard of within humans. The last of the substance is being stored and protected by us.
There are four types of us. There are what is called an animutation, which is when one of us is made containing characteristics of plants, animals, and such. This type also contains shape shifters, like Kat.
Then there are what we call a magimutation. That is when one of us contains a special ability using magic, like breathing fire, or being able to cast spells, like what humans call wizards, which is an entirely different thing (we don't wear magician hats or pull rabbits out of one), like me.
Then there are the elemental mutations, or elemutations, for short. It is basically one of us that can control weather, fire, earth, wind, water, air, metal, and such. They people who possess this are known as benders. For fire, there are fire benders, wind is wind benders, and so on.
The last have what we call a semimutation, which are those who didn't exactly change, but whose skills or abilities that a human acquires has been multiplied in strength. It would take lifetimes for an average human to reach the strength of a semimutant. Semimutants are able to do a variety of things like lift up trucks and punch a person straight through a car.
