The Fairy and the Giant

A couple thousand years ago, where there were no such thing as planes, cars, advanced scientific technology, there was a time of different invention. You see, there wasn't a need for planes because fairies existed. Who needed cars when you could walk to where you needed to go? Buildings were built with the help of friendly giants. Houses were protected by elves, humans with pointed ears, long lives, and extreme accuracy with a bow.

They mythical creatures as they were dubbed lived with the humans just fine. They co-existed in harmony and helped each other out. They had no reason to harm each other. But evil still existed.

The humans who did this wanted the magic for their own nefarious purposes. So the mythical creatures left. Elves, giants, Pegasus, everything you can imagine. All except the fairies. They could not leave. Trapped and nearly extinct, the fairies became as human as they could, reverting to their human size and hiding their wings all but permanently.

And so, as generation after generation passed, the mythical creatures faded into legend and those that stayed behind forgot their legacy.

Now we find ourselves in a modern society that thinks mythical creatures are nothing more than children stories and profit. They laugh at the thought of it being real. But some, some keep the knowledge alive.

A certain family line has passed down the information and kept it safe at the local library, waiting for someone to find it. One day, the right person will come and change the world.
