We are, all but monsters, committing countless atrocities.
Faes, shapeshifters, vamps, sirens, muses, humans, all of us are monsters in our own ways.
Hi
I am Seline, a Fae.
And. I. Am. A. Monster.
Let me start at the very beginning.
Faes were the first magical beings to walk the earth and swim the seas. Nobody knows how they came along, some say they have been around since before humans evolved from chimps. The folklore i like the most is the one my grandma used to recite to me, when i was very young.
According to the story, before the world came to be as we know it, the earth was filled with magical beings that we have yet to discover. The land and the sea were ruled and protected by two tribes that couldn't be more different from each other.
The land was protected by Forest Mascos, with eyes as brown as the earth, arms as sturdy as branches, and hair as black as ebony. Meanwhile, the seas were governed by Ladies of the Blue Tribe. They had light golden hair, eyes as deep and blue as the ocean, and could bewitch or reveal the secrets of the sea with a single look.
To balance the power scale, Mother Nature created Muses and Sirens. One day, tired of their constant bickering for superior control, she sent the first Muse to the world. The Muse inspired the tribe royals to make peace and be friends. The Siren released a bewitching melody that instilled carnal feelings among pairs of the opposite tribe.
The inspiration took form of flesh and blood, and thus, us Faes were born. We were born with a wide range of distinct features, making us almost impossible to distinguish from the non-magical humans that would overpopulate the earth many centuries later.
The Mother Goddess made humans as non-magical beings to help Faes disappear in plain sight. They could be the brunette living next door, or the blondie cheering for the black-haired adrenaline junky jock.
But the Mother Goddess was angry with the Muse and the Siren for their constant bickering and cursed them. As a result, the Faes, who were born from their inspiration, were cursed as well. We were cursed to be monsters, committing countless atrocities throughout history.
And so, I know that I am a monster. But I also know that I have the power to choose how I use my magic and whether I will continue to commit these atrocities.
