Creature

Magic

I follow behind the woman and she leads me throughout numerous tunnels and down deeper into the large tree till we come to a large open space we're several other fairies were.

"Woman are stronger than man."the woman says, her voice echoing as we walk towards a large hole in the wall, covered with thick vines and bricks.

She approaches the wall and puts her ear to it. Suddenly, a loud growl echoes from it.

I jump.

"Come Elko, a human girl is here."She says.

The groaning becomes louder as she motions me to come closer.

I shake a bit as I walk over to her.

"Human. Human girl."an echoey voice says.

"..y-yes.."I say, swallowing down hard.

"Mmm."the voice says.

I then hear footsteps coming closer to the wall of vines and bricks.

Through the small opening, I see a strange creature.

He had scars all over his body, long serrated scars. From claws.

Both his eyes were pure white, almost glowing. His hair was white, and he had portions of it that didn't grow due to long claw scars on his scalp.

He was tall and muscular. In good health. Bit the most peculiar thing about him, was his wings.

One of his wings was white, like the others. But the other was both white and black.

"Wow."I say quietly as he approached me.

He places his hands against the wall and cracks a smile, showing his fangs.

"Mm. You smell great."he says.

"Back demon."the woman besides me demands.

He slowly looks over at her, his smile dying.

"Demon?"he says.

He then punches the wall so hard it shakes the room and I jump, stepping away.

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU!? BLOODY CUNT WHAT ARE YOU THEN?! AREN'T I LIKE YOU?!"He shouts.

"What's wrong with him?"I ask quietly, stepping towards the woman.

"His mother was a human girl."She says.

I see, this was a warning inside of a lesson.

Humans shouldn't mate with fairies.

"Oh my god."I say quietly as he continues to yell.

I step closer to the closed off wall, seeing him huffing and puffing with anger, his white eyes glowing.

"What happened to you?"I ask quietly, making him look up at me.

He chuckles as he walks over to me, coming almost face to face with me if the wall hadn't been there.

"What happened to me?"he asks quietly.

"A whore human brought me into existence and then abandoned me at a tree filled with creatures who don't accept what I am."he whispers.

Then he looks at the woman behind me.

"Demon, they call me."

He looks at me and smiles again.

"I'm the only one of my kind."He says, looking at me seductively.

"Want to fix that?"

I step away.

"Can we leave?"I ask her.

She turns and walks towards the hall opening and I follow her.

...

Stephen, Kit, and Lunar sit at a high point in the tree.

"Why do I have to do this."Kit huffs, stretching his wings.

"I need to know you're not too humanized."Lunar says, looking at Stephen.

Stephen rolls his eyes and huffs.

"Just go on Kit."Stephen says.

Kit huffs and turns around.

He closes his eyes and holds out his hands. Silence.

Lunar rolls his eyes. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake. Lunar looks around, and suddenly sees a large tree growing before them.

Stephen's eyes widen as the tree grows larger and larger, taller and thicker.

It blocks the sun with it's massive shadow and kit lets out a small breath of neon green smoke.

The blossoms on the tree begin to bloom and kit opens his eyes.

He turns back to Stephen and Lunar who were looking up in awe.

"Happy?"he asks.

"Is that normal?"Stephen asks.

"..no."Lunar says.

"Well then, how did you make this tree?"Stephen asks.

"A hundred of us did it."Lunar says.

"And he just did it like..that.."Stephen says.

"Yeah."Lunar responds.

"Oh dear."
