A little boy clad in black-footed pajamas with silver stars and moons padded down the blue carpeted stairs to where a bent gnarled old lady sat watching the night sky out of an open window.
"Grandma," he whispered, "I had a bad dream."
The woman studied her small grandson before creakily standing up and tottering slowly towards the kitchen. The little boy followed.
The woman didn't speak as she followed the familiar ritual of making hot chocolate. She blended the milk and the chocolate, the vanilla and the sugar and let it enter a gentle rolling boil. She then poured it into her grandson's favorite cup and let it sit for several minutes to cool before handing the cup to her grandson.
"Would you like me to tell you a story?" she finally spoke.
The little boy nodded.
"Then finish your hot chocolate and go lay down on the couch in the living room."
She followed the little boy out of the kitchen and sat in a chair next to the couch as he lay down on it.
"In the ancient days of our world, there existed three realities parallel to each other. They interacted and reacted to each other, with just a larger population of each in their own world.
One was the world of the ningens (humans) where the inhabitants that lived there could die and were then reborn again.
Then, there was the world of the youki's (demons) who always had been and always would be. Some of the demons have even existed before the gods were created and they will exist after the gods die out.
Then there are the kamis (gods). They are the judges of human souls and chose how they will be reborn. They also order the three realms. They come in many strengths and weaknesses yet all share common traits.
They all have unusual eye colour and a slight tilt to their eyes, and their hair is generally wild or in an unusual style.
Demons also have unusual eye colours and very long hair, normally worn in a braid.
Then, in each world, but not a part of any are the immortals. There are many different races of immortals that exist throughout the worlds.
Some are shape-shifters, not to be confused with were-creatures. Were- creatures are created from the bite of a were-creature, a spell, or when the blood of one mingles with the blood of a human. Were-creatures are not immortal. A shape-shifter is an immortal born with the ability to shift from a magical creature to a human and back again. Shape-shifters are incredibly rare and most can perform magick.
Other types of immortals include the fae, with their pale skin and gold or silver coloured hair and jewel-coloured eyes. They are generally peaceful and love the earth and it's creatures.
Then, there are the fauns, the dryads, mer-folk, and the centaurs. Lastly, there are the magical, non-immortal creatures, such as unicorns, pegasus, gryphons, manticores, dragons, and thousands of other creatures.
Yet, child, you shall never see one of these exotic wonderful creatures anywhere but in your dreams.
The magical creatures still roam from realm to realm, but the rest cannot because of the barriers that now exist around each realm.
Listen, child, to this tale of a long forgotten time. Learn of how five immortal children saved the world long ago. Five children, who, they say, still live, but now pass themselves off as mortals. Learn of this group of immortals, gods, and demons that are the only ones to exist in this world of ningens.
This tale is a long one, so listen well child. Listen well to this tale I tell, and learn of the past and the future. Listen, child, because this is how it all began.......
