The first (bonus chapter)

This doesn't take place during any of the story but rather a backstory and lore for all the vessels species as a whole so feel free to skip if you want but if you're interested in the lore of this world feel free to read! =)
------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sure you've all heard of vessels but have you ever wondered, who was the first vessel to begin with anyway? Well allow me to tell you all the story of the first ever vessel.

Vessels started out all by a single daughter. She was the daughter of a human and a monster, whose relationship was always scrutinized by others. Even with that though the two had tried and attempted the best they could at being parents, the daughter herself was an odd one. She appeared human in looks taking after her human mother but her soul was different it was almost like it despite her human appearance she was more monster magically even finding out she could use and understand monster magic in the right environment.

These circumstances though caused her to be kept out of school almost all her life her parents not wanting to risk something happening to her because of her differences. After all humans don't take kindly to those who were different, she was atleast lucky to have the fact she had an appearance of a human.

Years past the girl grew to a fine young girl when tragedy struck. Monsters had begun to have an argument or some would rather call it a form of war where all of them were needed, including the girls father. All she and her mother hoped was for him to come back safely but he didn't. . . No monster did. . .it was an all out extinction with not many people being close enough to even remember leaving the reason why their extinction happened in the current times unknown and lost.

The girl held her head up with hope though a hope that maybe someday in the future humans, monsters and even creatures like herself would all finally get along in harmony. No one ever found out much about the girl with only sprinkled notes and books of old with whispers of her time, all research does know and understand is that during her adulthood she had found someone who had cared for her despite her differences one she'd call her partner for life.

Brought together by almost fate herself they had their own family and so spread and created what many now know of as vessels, after enough time sometimes even humans could have a vessel child with how much they've integrated into human society that only recently do people ever know the difference that wasn't physically obvious. There was one major part she'd left behind an odd book she created herself.

The book was one that explained vessels and their history and how they worked. It spread and by the current time they'd thought they knew everything on vessels with the book seeming to prove otherwise. So with human greed to hide this fact they changed the book to make it seem as if they discovered it and all other info on vessels taking out anything in the book to prove otherwise and sharing it around. Nowadays only certain scientists keep it with the cover having the word vessel with the outline of a heart and actually next to it was a monster soul/upside down heart.

Some whispers say the now called the mother of vessel's known by only those few who know was still around, hidden in plain view watching over her kind. Others say she had died and watched from the heavens or wherever she may be over everything. No one knows for sure and it seems it may stay that for however long she needs. . . .

2nd person point of view.

"Mrs Taby can you tell us another story about the first vessel?" A small child asked to the woman with a mix of white and lilac colored hair sitting in the rocking chair in front of the small group of children all seeming to be vessels. "Not tonight dear I can already see some of our friends are getting sleepy so I think now would be best we all head to bed" the woman known as Taby said as she stood up picking up one of the sleeping children while using lilac colored magic to gently lift the others who had fallen asleep as she brought all the children to their beds.

The room itself was a little small and had multiple children's beds each for different sizes, As all the children entered the room into the beds all beds were soon full. Taby sat near the front of the bed face to face with the child who previously asked her to tell more stories since they were the last one awake. "why are people so mean Mrs Taby?" The vessel child asked the woman before yawning as the woman caressed their head lulling the child to sleep as she responded, "Because the world is sadly mean my dear child especially to those who are different like us." After she finished speaking she stood up making sure every child had fallen asleep before she left the room closing the door behind her.

She then walked to her room humming a small undescribable tune, 'you always like to recite your own story and life to the children don't you?' a voice echoed in the woman's mind as she entered her room. 'why of course, I'm the only one who can remember it currently and I want to make sure the next generation can remember it as well and not lose their past' she responded walking to a small mirror stood on a dresser with an old picture of a older human woman, young girl and an older male monster.

Taby brushed her hair in the mirror holding onto a small locket around her neck, before taking it off revealing her and a male figure with a child. "I always had myself a hope, a hope that maybe someday in the future humans, monsters and even creatures like myself would all finally get along in harmony. Even if it seems unattainable now with how we're treated by humans I'm still not giving up on my hope"

'even after all these millennials you still haven't changed at all from when we first met'
