• "I had always thought it easy to hide, my grandmother knew and my brother who had garnered the blame." In our realm, Earth it is called. Most think it is the only one, what fools they are. I suppose explanations are in order: I will use the words my Grandmother used to tell me about the other world, the world of magic.

    "Avalon, granddaughter; that is where he was from. Your grandfather would show me so many things and teach about the world. Avalon did previously reside on the same realm as earth, but after the death of Emrys war broke out. Between those who possessed magical gifts and humans like us. The wars would last until a draw, for although humans had no power they did have the numbers and many a child was killed if they showed magic in a non magical household. It finally ended when a human killed the heir to the throne of Avalon, Prince Orion and in retaliation the Avalonians used up their true magic to create another world, another realm on a different place than Earth. That is where any with magic would go, their instincts would demand it, do you see child? Magic left Earth through the actions of humans, many were jealous of the magic users and created the conflict that scarred our world. True magic is what hides Avalon from mortal eyes, although no longer can any Avalonian use it. There are now only three 'races' of Avalonians; Rhoenin, you grandfather was of the Elemental race. The other two races are the Healers and the Shifters, in the times of Emrys those who were magical were not restricted to one power, they did have affinities but all had true magic, which allowed them to do spells and perform great feats. As I said before this magic disappeared when the Avalonians drew from every magical person to create another realm and transport themselves through portals."

    Grandmother always had the most dramatic voice when speaking of the time when magic was on earth. It was before her time though, Grandfather was the epitome of rebellion when he sneaked to Earth. Communication between the realms was unheard of for most humans on Earth, they simply did not know. On Avalon it was different they knew but it was forbidden as memories from the past frightened these people and this fear of death for their kind prevented them from ever willingly contacting humans. Rhoenin was unusual for an Avalonian, Grandmother says it was his heritage that made him an outcast, even among the Elementals. However that heritage remained secret for Grandmother had promised her beloved to never divulge any of those particular secrets to any human.
