When the world began, the humans all worshiped what was thought to have created them, fire, water, earth, and air. They were blissfuly unaware of what lived amongst them, or who lived amongst them. Djins, demons, pixies, the tainted, and a much more sophisticated society, the celestials. The one thing that was correct, what they considered the "four elements" started it all. But magic reaches beyond those four things, and magic is everywhere. Trust me, we celestials need it, we live by it. And it is our job to help the humans, and the world. But now, all of us are unsure, something is happening with the humans, and whatever it is, we can't stop it. My life is already hard enough, now this crisis in our world and theirs. What can I do?

Before moving to Maile, life was simple. Obey the school rules and you don't get expelled. Don't get expelled and your parents don't send you to live with your Uncle. Don't live with your Uncle and you don't discover your entire maternal family, including your mother, are sorcerers... all except you. After moving to Maile, things got a lot more complicated. Lacking any magic of my own, I was left with one gift - the ability to see a world hidden from ordinary humans. But there's a reason it is called the Curse of Sight; some things are better left unseen. At first, it was fun. Meddling with ancient legends, uncovering dangerous secrets, developing a crush on a supernatural. However, when things begin to spiral downhill, to the point everything you know and love is in jeopardy, it becomes a matter of life and death. |Cover Credit: PittieLau| |DeviantArt: pittieslau|
