World War III has happened, and now we are starting anew.... It didn't always start out like this. There was no need for war to settle such matters once and for all. Once, our struggle was kept in secret, kept from the public so that we could overcome our enemies by ourselves. Our struggle was silent. We fought against the Hunters, people who wanted us gone forever because they believed us a curse to all of mankind, in the black. We knew that if the world discovered of our existence, then all hell would, quite literally, break loose. But then we were exposed. The people panicked. Chaos ensued. Millions died, and innocent blood was shed. And why? Because humans fear what they cannot control. They fear what is not human. And we are not human.
