before she continued. “When the battle between the two leaders approached a point of total destruction to the Earthworld, the Fae…”
“The what?” I interjected.
“The Fae. Fairies.” Misa looked completely surprised that I didn’t recognize the term. “You don’t know of them?”
I gave my head a big bewildered shake, and glanced at Kyden. “Another realm I don’t know about?”
He chuckled and nodded.
Misa continued. “When the Fae’s princess, Aaliya, intervened, she constructed two other realms. Now we know them as the Underworld and the Otherworld. She demanded God and Satan take over these worlds in an attempt to stop the long-standing war. But as you know it never ended and still hasn’t.”
Okay, this was just ridiculous. Kyden leaned forward completely enthralled and seemed to believe this. However, I was having a hard time with it.
“Angels were God’s followers,” she went on. “Immortals who believed in his ways. To protect humans, save souls, use magic for the greater good. Satan’s, of course, were the exact opposite, and as we know are called demons. Through time, Black Magic evolved away from the elemental force, and now as you know, White Magic and Black Magic are two completely separate entities.”
“Explain how you’re different then?” Kyden asked. “Why do you deny your instinct to commit evil?”
“My ancestors were fallen angels. Cast out by God for committing sins. They once believed in the way of God, but were weak against the call to the darkness. Over the years and breeding, God’s trait in us has grown stronger.”
His brow arched. “And this happened to all of you?”
Misa shook her head quickly. “No. There’s not many of us.”
“Jesus,” I gasped.
“No, Jesus was God’s son,” Misa retorted. “We’re talking about God here, not Jesus.”
I laughed at the wishy-washiness of words. “So, what happened then? Do God and Satan still exist?”
Misa looked at me as if my head was screwed on backwards. “Have you seen them around here?”
I returned her look with one that said I realized how stupid my question was and that she should move on.
Thankfully, she obliged. “When the battle between them grew, Aaliya was at her wits end. The danger they were putting the worlds in was vast. So, she banished them to the Realm of the Dead to spend their days locked away to rule their realms as they chose.”
My brows shot up. “A Realm of the Dead?”
Misa nodded. “The humans call it Heaven and Hell, but we know it as realms. Aaliya knew this was the only option to end the war. Now the two live as they wish and do what they like.”
“But they can’t come back here?” I asked.
“It’s not easily done, and hasn’t been attempted. Aaliya knew this was the safest choice, and as you’ve witnessed, the right one. But still to this day their legacy lives on.” She winked. “It’s just a little different than humans think.”
I gave my head a shake, and then another. It was hard to wrap my head around this. Could what she be saying be really true? Is this how it all began?
“Anyways, these past events that you have found yourself in have long been in the waiting.”
My mind was still stuck on what she’d just said, I couldn’t process what she was going on about now. “In the waiting?”
Misa’s smile was full of mystery. “It was foretold that a being of mixed heritage would come to the Otherworld, and be the one to lead us into a new world.”
Gulping deep, I managed to ask, “Who foretold that?”
“The Fae, of course. A few of us a couple hundred years ago started to seek each other out. Azar and I were the first.”
“A couple hundred years?” I whispered, suddenly aware of something I hadn’t thought of before. I tended to avoid this conversation. Yes, we’re all immortals, but it still freaked me out whenever
