Trip to the Past

...................................................

"hmmm interesting." My grandfather shined the flashlight into my now blue eyes.

"Just as i thought."

"Ok?" I grumbled "That means what?"

"shh. Im thinking." he growled at me.

"Do you know why my eyes are weird?" i snapped at him

"Yes I do" he spoke quietly "now hush."

he layed the flashlight down on the table, and took a seat on the couch.

"hmm." he said again as he sat back into the couch "how do i explain this?" he spoke to himself

I was becoming impatient with his stalling.

He sat up suddenly. "Do you remember the Daemons?"

"Yes." i grumbled irritated.

"Tell me what you know about them." he chuckled to himself like this was some private joke.

"I dont know what a bed time story will hel-"

"Just Do it." he cut me off

"Ok." i grumbled.

"The Daemons were by cherokee legend, all the magical creatures that inhabited the world. Ones that posessed unusual abilities." i stopped.

"Continue." he spoke patiently 

"...Well daemons are widely known as Shapeshifters- like werewolves-, faries, pixies, Dragons, griffins, Elves, Vampires, Chupacabra- blood sucking dogs- and nephillium - winged people - and mermaids."

"Ok Good. Lets go deeper." he spoke making me continue with this history lesson. If you could call Fictional ledgends History. 

"Well... Mermaides grow a tail when they touch water, they have a voice that when they sing they can cause people to loose track of time and can become hypnotised into doing their biddings.

Nephillum are people with birds wings on their back. they can be any color of any bird ever found. they are believed to be the fallen angels of God himself.

Chupacabras are tall long legged canines with no fur - they are completly bald - they have extremly long teeth and suck the blood out of their victoms much like a vampire. Without blood they will die. They are believed to be the offspring of a vampire and a werewolf.

Vampires are blood sucking people, with no heartbeat, no soul and their skin is icy and hard.

Elves are magical hunters and crafters that create everything they have out of nature. the worlds true hippies. they are fierce and strong but are normaly very short. around 3 - 4 ft tall. the hunters hunt with arrows dipped in a poison they created themselves and only they have the antidote.

Griffins are creatures with the body of a cat -it can be any species of cat- and the head of a bird. they are strong and firece and only have  one offspring during their entire lifetime.

Dragons are lizzard-like creatures. they can sometimes fly, if they have wing. some can breathe fire, and others live under water.

Pixies are small people about the size of an unsharpened pensil. they have small bug like wings and come in a variety of different species. they are trouble makers and love to meddle with peoples lives.

Faries are usually quite tall between 6 - 7 ft tall pointed ears like elves and they have thin papery wings like that of  butterflies or dragonflies. they posses a magic that helps them create potions, like love or lust potions. they are tricky and making a deal with one is often turned aginst you. They have two kingdoms or courts, Seelie -good fae- and Unseelie -evil fae-. each kingdom is ran by a king and queen, with knights and a royal system much like that of medevil kings and queens.

Shifters. otherwise known as werewolves, change by will into the shape of a canine. There are many different species of werewolves all hereditary. The Kitsune is a shifter that takes the form of a Fox. they are very rare. Duori are shifters that take the form as a pure white wolf often with blue eyes. Imriori are shifters that change into red wolves. Imriari are grey timber wolves. Kiol are solid black with red eyes, they are very rare. Kidie are shifters that turn into any kind of dog imaginable. There are shifters for every canine species."

"uh huh." he watched me, "arent you forgetting something?"

I was missing a lot of things but i knew what he wanted.  

Werewolves were his fassination

"Um well there are the Amisi they were the first original werewolves. they are often called The Ancient wolves. They are a grey and white color with icy blue eyes. They are stronger and faster than every other species of wolf as their blood is pure.  The gene skips a generation, so it was rarer to come by".

"Good." he leaned over closer to me and looked in my eyes. Suddenly his eyes changed from brown to ice blue.

"Woah!" i jumped back "that's insane."

He watched me intently. "sit down," he spoke quietly and i did as he said.

He stood up and pushed the table away from the couch. 

"whatever do promise me you will stay to listen to what i have to say. ok" hehispered quietly

"Um sure i guess." i answered back unsure what he was talking about.

"OK" he grabbed a lolng trechcoat from the coat rack by the door beside the couch and layed it across the table. He stood where the table had been before he moved it.

I watched him carefully.

His eyes again shifted from brown to Blue. his ears began to twitch unnaturally. His hands balled into fists and his fingers fused to his palms. Claws began growing out of what used to be his nuckels and the bones in his hands began to crack and shift as they turned into paws. I looked back up to his face to see his ears had moved to the top of his head and his face grew into a canine muzzle, hair sprouting out from every direction. he put his front paws on the ground and his legs shifted to those of a wolves. i heared a crack and i squeezed my eyes closed. when i opened them again a large grey and white wolf stood infront of me.

A very Regal looking wolf if I may say so myself.
