As a child, an innocent, our imaginations run wild. We pretend to be knights or princess', magicians or mythical creatures. Then as we age our imagination is tamed by the laws of science and everything we are taught to believe as truth. We as a race of humans can not fly or wield a wand. Dragons and mermaids don't exist. Fire burns, ice freezes, what goes up must come down. These are but a few of the truths that exist in our world, but like so many others they are false. My world was turned upside down on my 21st birthday, everything that was a truth turned out to be a lie. The world we live in, isn't what we believed it to be. My name is Alexi Drovnic, and this is my story.

Chapter 1

Music sounded through the car’s speakers as I yawned, it was way too early to be awake, Kate sat in the passenger seat, swaying happily and singing off key, her hair swung loose around her shoulders and the smile on her face was infectious as she laughed at Andrews grimace.It was well known in our small town that Kate Daniels couldn’t carry a tune to save her life, but no one would ever tell her to stop, not once they realised just how happy it made her. She was the kind of woman that sang in the shower, loud enough that the neighbours could hear it, and it truly was an awful noise, but it roused happy memories of my childhood.Kate’s singing had been one of the few things that made me smile after my parents passed away and I wound up in the foster system. I gazed out of the window, as the thought dragged me into memories of a darker time in my life.Flames and heat, a scream of pain and someone yelling. An old man ...

Chapter 2
  It took way too long for me to come back to reality and calm myself down. The knock on my bedroom door had me clearing my throat.“You okay Lexi?” The voice was concerned and for a moment I hated myself for putting her through this, at least it wasn’t every night anymore.“I’m okay Jess. I’m sorry, try and get back to sleep.” I suggested trying to hide the tears in my voice to no avail, she knew me too well. The door creaked open, and the tiny blonde stepped into the room, appraising me before crawling onto the bed beside me and resting her head on my shoulder.“The car?” She asked and I nodded not sure how to voice that yet again I had watched my parents die in a ball of fire.“They don’t seem to be lasting as long as they used to, and they are getting father apart.” She stated, her voice calm and reassuring, and I sighed, she was right, and I had to try a

Chapter 3
  My Dearest Sweet Alexi,Oh, how I hope you never have to see this letter. I hope we grow as a family and all of this will be explained to you fully someday, but your father tells me that things are getting bad amongst the councils, that there are power plays of the worst kind about to be enacted and with your father on the council there is a possibility that we will be caught in the crossfire. I do hope that he is over-reacting, but I cannot take the chance that you will never know of the things that one day we must tell you.I have arranged for your safety, if the worst should happen, if our family is torn apart by this war then at least I will be able to rest easy knowing that my sweet girl is being taken care of. Peter has my instructions; he is a friend of many years and someone you can trust wholeheartedly.I have been staring at this paper for what feels like hours, wondering where to start, wondering which bits of information c

Chapter 4
  The wind whipped at my hair, and I brushed the long black strands away from my face as I stared at the old inn across the road. I shivered as the morning sea air brushed against my skin, wishing I had had the foresight to wear a coat I wrapped my arms around my waist as I contemplated the old building before me.It looked perfectly normal if a little run down, with a faded brown sign swinging in the breeze and chipped paint on the wooden window frames, a few green weeds had pushed through the pavement around the edge of the building and the bricks looked like they could use a hose down but considering the contents of my parents letter the normality of the building only served to make me more nervous.It hadn't taken me long to find the inn my parents directed me to, however working up the courage to go inside was another matter entirely. It wasn't so much that I was afraid or even worried of what I would find, I was more concerned that I wou

Chapter 5
  “Alexi, I have been expecting you for a while. Welcome. Please take a seat.” An elderly gentleman greeted cheerfully as I stepped fully into the room making me jump slightly. I turned to see him stood in the corner leaning over a cabinet I hadn't seen previously either. I dropped onto the sofa, my eyes riveted on his back.He wasn't at all what I had expected, even with his back to me I could tell he was old, but he stood tall, he was lean of build with shoulder length grey hair and dressed in brown trousers and a grey jacket, clothes that may have been from the fifties judging from their condition. His voice was strong, commanding, the kind of voice I expected to belong to a middle-aged businessman not a decrepit old inn keeper.My mind whirled as I took everything in, I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster, fear anger confusion disapp

  I rested my cup on my leg and waited impatiently for Peter to continue with his story.“Several decades later,” he began after setting his own cup aside. “And the human population was starting to grow, we don't have definitive numbers, but we estimate around three hundred humans were living in the area we now know as Wales. As more children were born, the human parents of the children refrained from telling the new-borns about our world, through what we can only guess is spite and anger at having been banished, and as such the new generations had no idea that more than their race existed, eventually the knowledge died with the parents.”“At the same time this was occurring a w

  I found an empty table in the back corner of the café and stared at the menu until the waitress came over with her little note pad to take my order. “What can I get you dearie”“A coffee and a ploughman’s please.” I answered placing the menu back on the table and offering a smile to the waitress that I hoped wasn’t obviously fake.“No problem.” She muttered before heading back to the counter.I glanced at the giant book on the table and sighed. I honestly didn’t know what to think at the minute, I was warring with myself, I had always prided myself on being a good judge of character, I just i

  Five 'o' clock rolled round faster than I expected with my mind full of what if's and I soon found myself standing outside the sitting room door eager for more answers.“Come in Alexi.” Peter called out before I could knock. Either the guy had really good hearing for an old man or he was psychic.“Hi.” I greeted not sure what to say now that I was in front of the man again. I took a seat on the sofa once again, noticing the tray of sandwiches on the end table and my stomach grumbled, I hadn’t eaten much lunch and had been walking for hours.“Help yourself to food.” Peter suggested, motioning in the direction of

  Finally, I settled on a thought and voiced it before thinking twice. “So how did you get to be drafted as my guide? Surely there are better things for you to be doing?” I questioned refusing to call him my guard and avoiding looking at his face. I was curious about how a warrior was assigned to me when our races could make it difficult to keep things professional.“Technically I have been your guide or guard for over a year. The council give out assignments to selective people, that's how we got so many races to work together in building the city in the first place, the citizens of Primogentius must abide by the decisions of the council. One of the council’s jobs is to assign warriors to protect Royals. There are actually quite a few ou

Chapter 10
  Cole offered me a wide smile as I held onto his hand to climb down, he didn’t seem to be the slightest bit fazed by me which I was finding increasingly annoying, but I pushed it back and offered him a small smile in return before letting go of him as soon as polite to do so and turning to face my family’s homeOver the years I had pictured what my life would have been like if my parents hadn't died, I think all orphans do at one point or another, somewhere in the back of my mind I had created our family home but it was nothing like the house that stood before me. Never had I imagined such an elaborate structure. The sand-coloured stones that made up the house were each carved with a different design although they somehow all connected together, it
