Not So Wicked

Prologue

Underlayes is another dimension, where all sorts of nocturnal creatures reside: witches, vampires, fae, shifters, werewolves... The dimension was created by all these creatures working side by side to escape the scrutiny and danger to their very existence that stemmed from the human world. Humans tend to fear things they do not understand, and tend to try to eliminate anything they fear, even though these nocturnal beings were humanoid themselves, just different—more enhanced—than their day-walking brethren.

When God created the Earth, He had some help along the way. While there is only one true God, there are many underling goddesses and gods to help Him. Let's just think of God as the CEO. Just as God created man in His image, He allowed His goddesses and gods to create certain races in their images as well. Their races come in every color, shape and form there is, but are like them in their... characteristics. Like, for instance, Hekate and her necromancers, or Aphrodite and her beautiful sirens. Since most of these creatures are more powerful when the moon comes out to play, they are nocturnal, though don't get it wrong; they are not ruled by the moon. Some have a deadly reaction to the sun, while others are just as powerful be it day or night.

Many of these creatures can be quite deadly, though it's usually only when provoked. Though there are some who tend to be more violent and sadistic, regular humans can be that way as well. After all, most serial killers, though not all, are human.

Originally the intention was for these nocturnal creatures to have their time at night and keep to themselves, while regular humans were to rule the day, unawares.

Most had perfected their art of blending in whenever the need arose, since there was no way to live in the same realm as them and not bump into one. Certain precautions were made and set into place for if and when any of these other species came into contact with a human. Other necessary precautions were also in place to deal the elements; such as the sun and the moon.

While these operations were practically second nature to most, not all of Underlayes had even been born when they were needed. The sun and the moons in Underlayes made it safe for all to roam around be it day or night. But, if everyone, even those born in Underlayes, became too comfortable and found themselves on the Earth realm yet again, amongst the dangers of not only the elements, but exposure to humans once again...
