The bearers of magic

'We do not accept', declared the ones who look after the magic of nature. 'We do not accept', declared the ones who lurk in the shadows and the darkness of night 'We do not accept', declared the ones who walk on two feet but also all four. 'Then we are doomed', declared the ones who wield ancient magic, 'doomed'. In the beginning magic was all around. It was used freely and wisely. Humans and magic bearers lived in peace and harmony. There was no judgement, only wonder. Then humans decided that all magic bearers were evil. They would curse your children and ruin your crops. They must be punished, so magic bearers hid themselves and their magic from the world. Then most humans forgot. They forgot what was once real and it became stories and fables for children or horror stories and warnings for the Ill behaved. Magic no longer had a place in the world as it was forgotten about and unseen. To all except a small group who would never forget magic existed and never allow it to be so. Sutibius (Tib to his friends) looked in his 40's, Tib however had looked in his 40's since the 1930's. Tall and handsome, other than a slight purple tinge to his eyes it was easy to pass as a human. That was how it went for someone born to be and had become the High Wizard and bearer of ancient magic. He was one of the youngest High Wizards to ever have walked the earth but these were different times and magic was not the same. Everyday Tib went to the High school and taught History. Ironically some of the events he had lived through. He laughed with the humans in the staffroom and listened to their stories. This is how it was now for a magic bearer, a wizard. Hidden in plain sight. Sugremameen (Gem to her friends) looked in her 40's, Gem however had looked in her 40's for a very, very long time. Tall and attractive other than a slight purple tinge to her eyes it was easy to pass as human. This is how it went for the one born to be High Witch and bearer of ancient magic. Gem was well respected in both the Wizard and Witch communities, for her knowledge of magic, her stories of the old ways and her passion and protection of her people. Everyday Gem went to High school and taught Biology. One town over from Tib, the High Witch and High Wizard must stay close to work together for the protection of their magic and distrust of other magic Bearers. Gem laughed with the humans in the staffroom and listened to their stories. This is how it was now for a magic bearer, a witch. Hidden in plain sight. It was a dark and gloomy evening. Soon what little light was left of the day would be extinguished. This pleased Dramanius(Manny to close vampires). He and his Queen, Drasdelia (Delia if she allowed you to call her that) would take to the shadows of the night and feast. Both looked in their late 20's, but vampires do not age, especially born vampires, not bitten and made, and both had been around for a long, long time. Vampires were bearers of a magic curse that is said to have steamed from when Jesus walked the earth. They did not 'mingle' with humans or try and fit into the human way of life. Rather they feed from them to survive, never killing them, that was thd old way. Technological and investigative methods had become to good to allow them to kill and not raise questions. Keeping their secret is how they survive. Vampires rule the darkness, they do not work, why would you when you can rob your dinner while eating ftom them. They live by their own laws and own rules and are not respected by any other magic bearers, not that they care. Angelica, (Angel) for short was sorting out a dying tree. It was dying before its time as some children had seen fit to take matches to it and set it alight. As the Queen Fairy and Queen of all bearers of Nature magic it was her job to right the wrong that had been done. With a flick of her wrist and a chant under her breath the tree started to come back to life. Fairies are at one with Nature as are their cousins, pixies. Pixies, however can control the 4 elements as well as being lightning fast. As the tree blossomed, Piccalo the pixie summoned water and nourished the tree. As Head pixie, but still under Angelicas rule, he had to lead by example. Fairies and pixies hid from the human eye. Nothing about them allows them to be part of or accepted in the human world anymore. Fairies are beautiful, delicate winged creatures and Pixies are lean, muscly bright haired creatures, both less than 12 inches tall they hide in the trees, the woods or flowers, wherever Nature is. They are intelligent but oh so stubborn and are afraid of the world here and now. How they wish it was like the old days, when magic was not hidden. Jackson or Jack as he is known clipped his Beta, Eddie good naturedly around the head. This of course led to a scuffle which became a battle of strength. Jack came out triumphant, there was never any doubt as the Alpha of the Silverback pack he was always going to win. As bearers of the magic of transformation, werewolves in human form can physically fit into the human world. However, they are taller, bigger and rougher. They stick to their packs, are fiercely loyal and are known for their temper amongst the other bearers of magic. The Silverback pack consist of around 200 members. There is a huge house where single wolves stay on a farm that goes on as far as the eye can see. Others have their own houses on the property, those that have found their mates and have cubs. Like the vampires, werewokves were humans cursed, ut unlike vampires whose hearts do not beat their curse is paased through the birth of the next generation. All Werewolves work the farm and farm shop. Together, strong and hidden in plain sight. Thank you for reading my first chapter.
