'THUMP THUMP... DA-DUM DA-DUM' Beat after beat, man's heart thumped in man's ear. Fear listed his face, eyes concealed hatred. Man's teeth gritted at the unknown cause. For, in front of man, stood lady and lord. Their eyes shown and their hair waved in flat winds. Lady and lord tried to make acquaintance with man, but man only saw hatred. Lady and lord stood, their eyes loss hope and their fist clenched.

'Why can't man just accept the unknown and the different?' their minds wondered. They had hoped to be met with acceptance and wonder, but now they thought themselves fools. They were fools to believe man had changed, fools to think man wouldn't be hostile. But who could blame them, it'd been centuries since lady and lord saw man. And what was so wrong with wanting acceptance? As it seemed, everything was wrong with the mere want.

Now, death was to fall on all different and 'freakish', as man called it. Now war was lifted and all abnormal was in danger. Families ran for refuge in the caves and forests. Nowhere but the hidden spots in the wilderness where safe. Nymphs provided protection and fought in the most dangerous of wars, centaurs became the most fierce of warriors, and fairies spied on man. Elf's, demons, and angles cared for the abnormal and built up tribes in the depths of caves for them. Angles helped bearing mothers and children, demons helped lords and hunters collect food, elf's held the burden of of keeping tribes hidden and children safe. Trolls guarded the entrances, goblins mined deeper to make room and gathered wool and leather.

In turn, lady and lord fought hard to keep abnormal alive. They fought hard in order to win. But things don't always go smoothly. In the span of 126 battles lady and lord had only won 17. Battle after battle as lady and lord lost more warriors, they also lost hope. Fairies they sent out to spy hadn't returned in months, centaurs and nymphs gradually gained fatal injuries. Two centaurs and a nymph had gone missing, hope for the abnormal had almost vanished. But, then again, after the hurt comes glory.

In the dead of night two centaurs and a nymph had retreated to the head tribe. After various test and challenges they were confirmed as the warriors who had disappeared in the battle field. However with them they brought the human general, tied up and gagged. This, they figured, was the glory after the hurt. They now had the key to win and gain peace with man. The next day, as battle began, nymphs and centaurs surrounded man's army. The head nymph held the restrained general up for all of man's army and people to see. Man surrendered and promised peace, at last lady and lord had won.

The abnormal no longer hid. Society built communities for the abnormal. Schools made for abnormal beings rose up, jobs man couldn't do opened up for abnormals. At last, lady, lord, and all beings no longer would hide. Life turned for the better, but man was still skeptical about acceptance. So, schools started a program. It would allow human children and teens to share the same school and learn to accept the unknown.
