~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have seen time loops and so much magic, so many wonderful things. Yet nothing as amazing as this. Our forest is alive with so much magic you can almost smell it. There are all different kinds of us, our people surround me, we thrive but no one has discovered us, yet. But let me go back to the beginning . Let's start with the time of the angels.
The time of the Angels to put it simply is the beginning of the Earth, and yes we live on Earth among you unknowing humans. Anyway the Earth was created some way or another even our people don't know that much, however we were the first race on Earth. Our races name is " the Amaray." Our ancestors were born from an ancient fay kind and long ago elves. Anyway in case your wondering our kind is mostly Fay (so most of us have wings) but we all have pointy ears and our skin is pailish. We normally stand to about 3 or 4 feet tall but we can also shape shift so we can become as tall as we like.

Everyone has their own unique power. Mine is fire. To put it nicely I can make a column of fire erupt from the center of my palm, or most parts of my body. Other powers include wind, water, ice ect. All of my tribe was born with their power and we learned to control it when we were very young. But before you start thinking okay so your Fay with a fancy name, let me just say unlike Tinkerbell we don't use dust to fly. We have clear wings with some of our powers intwined in them, shaped kind of like a birds. They are large enough to wrap around us completely. They are beautifully useful and depend on the power they master. Mine are intwined with gold and red threading. Now enough rambling lets get back to our forest and I'll amaze you with all the wonderful things.

I step onto the sunlit path that leads to my home. I live in one of the seven trees that surrounds the council tree. My house is about the size of a humans barn, in this world it's almost considered a mansion. It has a kitchen, crafting room, guest bedroom, my bedroom, shared bathroom, and there's a house out back where Pent lives. Pent is my baby dragon, my protector. He is 6 foot and completely mine. Other protectors depend on the Amaray's power, like water would be some creature that lives in the water, and ice would be something that lives near ice. Mine naturally is a dragon that breaths 7 yard columns.

And there's Vanetta. She is a volcanic Amaray and she's the only one left, the others where destroyed by Giants and she refuses to repopulate. She's a strong headed brunette with bright green eyes and always, always carries her protector around with her. Her protector is a owl, she uses a owl because she refused to use any other animal. I guess that makes sense, I mean there's not really a volcanic creature, is there? It's name is Thorn because when she rescued it, it had a thorn in its foot. I know really creative, right?

I step up and reach for my key under the flowerpot. After I unlock my house I walk inside and up to my room to start getting ready for the ball. Confused? Well it's Yancock day, the most celebrated holiday among us. The children get the week off school, the adults work day and night putting their part in, and the council organize the ball and feast. I walk into the bathroom to take a quick shower then curl my dark red and black hair into a long braid which I then snap to my wrist with a hair tie. I then do my make-up, yes we have make-up too, and find my dress among the many in my closet. It's bright red at the top and gets darker at the bottom to the point where it's black, its longer in the back then the front and I have a midnight black cloak with silver lining to put over it. I grasp my green pendent filled with my advanced powers and black flats in my hand as I head out the door.

The walk would be very long if I was unwinged. This is when you are either punished by them taking your wings or attacked by pharasitics. Pharasitics are rabid animals who apparently think we're their lunch. Anyway for us with wings it's only a 5 minute fly. I sprint down my run way and spread my wings out as I get near the end. I feel the rush of air that pulls me back every time I do it. As I take flight I feel a similar air in my face. I fly around trees and other houses as I see others taking off as well. I dodge a tree and get ready for the tunnel. the tunnel is a pitch black tube with 5 lines I guess it's like a security check in case there's humans or something. I bring my wings into my body kind of like a bullet and dive into the darkness of the tunnel.I've done this many times so I'm practiced at it. I see the light as the tunnel comes to an end. My wings spring out and I continue flying. I see the festive lights in the distance, sighing contently I fly towards them.

Suddenly I'm snatched from the sky by a pair of ropes and a sack comes over my head. I let out a piercing scream that fills my ears, unfortunately this wouldn't save me because a menacing laugh fills the air right after and completely covers it.
