Prologue

Welcome to my world.

It’s a world where the impossible is not truthfully impossible. Having snow ball fights on one of the hottest days of summer? Please, that’s nursery school magic. If you want to see real magic, stick with me. This world, this incredible unnatural wonderful destructive world, is full of witches, and warlocks; vampires and werewolves; ghosts and goblins; demons and angels; faeries and pixies; dwarfs and elves; believe me I can go on. The world I live in is a place that you must remain hidden within. To come out requires you to follow the Laws. The Laws, for those suffering from naivety, are the following:

Rule number 1: The laws of the other world govern all; survival thus depends on following them.

Rule number 2: If you ever wish to live in the world apart you must first request approval from the Council.

Rule number 3: Dwellers of this land must remain immaterial to the world apart.

Rule number 4: Secrets of the Immaterial shall remained untouched; offenders shall be punished by death

Rule number 5: If another mythical creature that is not from Zophorus is found while visiting/living in other world contact Council immediately.

Supposedly, there are seemingly hundreds more, but I never truly listened in my classes on these ‘Laws’. I never thought I would need them because I never even considered moving from Zophorus, let alone be accepted by the Council. Boy was I wrong.
