Long ago beings us humans claimed as myths, legends, folklore, beings that we couldn't fathom to be real.
However, what has never been recorded, that humans would never admit too. The war between humans, and the world of magic. Mainly, the great fairy war. It was a long strenuous, death inducing 10,000 year long war. Many loved ones were lost, and many were traumatized.
But, alas all things come to an end I suppose. During battle many claimed to have seen a great big explosion. Confused, but relieved the war had finally come to an end. Their war Chief Lunaria and her commander were nowhere to be found. Thought to have been dead they erected two statues in their honor.
After the 10,000 year war they signed a treaty with the humans to live peacefully. A huge celebration was thrown and many alike celebrated for their victory. No longer was the wait for the end, but a joyous night for peace.
One thing that should be noted. Fairy's age slower than humans, 100 years for a human is akin to 1 year for a fairy. However, if a fairy's orb were to be taken from them they would age like a human. A fairy can only willingly give their orb away, if forcefully taken it would explode like an atomic bomb. If consumed the person would turn to stone, unable to handle the power from the fairy's.
However, humans came to find that stealing a fairy's wings. Their wings if taken and consumed gave them strength beyond measure. If crushed and made into a powder or paste it can be used as a healing ointment, or as power pills.
Over time the humans and fairy's were able to grow a prosperous relationship. Trade was established between the two, and slowly over time the fairy's allowed humans to come to the magical land, and fairy's came and went to the human world. The humans helped with building certain structures, planting crops from the human world, and breeding new types of cattle. The fairy's helped the humans in building certain structures in trees with little to no support, helped with planting and cropping plants from the fairy realm, and introducing new forms of poultry.
Over time new parts of the magic world was explored, and in that exploration new beings were discovered. The harpy's, mermaids, trolls, gnomes, and pixies. A huge amount of subspecies were also found. Among those being; Dragons, unicorns, Pegasus, kitsune, fae deer, and plants that were alive.
One thing that was noted from the royal family that seemed to spark hope in their hearts. Their daughter's fairy orb still stay shining brightly. It had not dulled in any way, meaning she was still alive.
So they sent their army out to search. Until she was found, no one would stop searching for their long lost daughter.
