Second Chance

It was a rainy, late October night. The complete dead of night. About 3 am. I was worlds away from home. Not only in imagination, but quite literally, I was no longer living on earth. Or in earth. I am not sure how to think of it other than I am in another dimension. This world is a world of possibilities, with creatures, humans only imagine. It has Dragons and faeries, with warlocks, and witches. Pretty much any creature we have thought of in our imaginations on earth exist here, and then some.

My "adventure" as I like to call it. Began here exactly a year ago today. I suppose you could call it our anniversary. I always knew I was different and didn't quite belong anywhere on earth. But I never could've imagined how my life would change, so suddenly too, it really came as quite a shock, liberating, but still surprising. The biggest thing I could notice about myself was my glowing eyes whenever I was upset. My eyes were green, but when I got angry or anxious, they would change to a dark, sparkling, swirling, glowing purple. Sometimes appearing as a more beautiful, rather than scary black to those around me. Little did I know this meant I had a little bit of faerie and a little bit of witch in me. See, my parents were originally from this alternate world, and their love was forbidden. So, like many young people would do, they ran away. They found a portal leading to earth and they never looked back, that is until, last year. Around 3 am, just as it is now. A portal that looked like nothing but swirling energy. If you could see a really strong wind, I think it would look like this. Well, it just appeared in my bedroom. Oh, it was glowing too. A beautiful golden glow and a swirl of white energy. Oh, it was a sight.

When I got over my shock, I then realized there were two human type forms in my room. One was a beautiful woman with striking blue eyes, and the other was an older looking guy that almost looked familiar. Both were family, it turns out. That's why the guy was so familiar. They stood there looking almost amused. Which, honestly upset me at the time, and even a little now. I could've screamed or attacked, but I stayed still and thought. In my opinion I handle two magical beings just appearing in my room pretty well. Anyway, They, were amused and told me to close my mouth, which was open from shock. So, I did. After the initial shock I managed to say "who are you?" Their reply was a little upsetting since, I was never made aware of who and what I am. I am something that has never existed. A hybrid of sorts you could say. See, although our separate species were not allowed to marry or have offspring of any sort, they still had to work together to keep peace and unity in their world. The Witches, and Faeries are the most powerful species especially when combined there is nothing they can't conjure, or create, no outcome they can't change for their good. It has been this way since of the dawn of this utopia. So, naturally when they got wind of my existence they had to have me "come home" as they put it.

After speaking with my parents we all decided I could be trained alot easier if I did go with them. They were my grandparents on my Dad's side of the family. My parents stil refused to leave earth and I came on my own. Honestly, not a bad deal for an independence seeking 17yr old, atleast where I am from. I have my own apartment, with all the luxeries I could need. Yeah, it turns out I am also of royal blood. So nothing less than the best for me here. I'm thankful it takes stress off so I can focus on my training. After a year of training I have finally mastered one element: fire. I can conjure fire with nothing but the atmosphere and my own energy. Not, many faeries or witches alike can do such a task. But, like I said I am "special", and I would learn just how special in the next coming days.
