Chapter 1

Prologue

My mother always made it simple for me and my sister, in terms of exactly who we are and our history. Like a bedtime story she began so sweet and calm. When the Holy Father came upon his end of creating earth, he called to his children Adam and Eve. Showing them all that he had created. Then the Holy father told them to go, Go my children the Holy father said, and in three days come back to me my children. In doing so bring with you all the things you loved and adored, as well as the lesson you learned on your journey. In which when you return, I shall give you three spirits of creation, which will allow you to create these beings in your image and I shall give them life, and they can live amongst the world I created. So Eve, arrived bright and early the second day. She had to come early, for she saw that no one life can enjoy all of her father’s creations in one lifetime. So she asked her Holy Father to grant her first two creations eternal lasting life, so that they can enjoy her father’s creations forever.

So with this request the Holy Father granted his child’s wish and told her to allow the snake of eternal life to bite her, allowing her to bleed, in with her sacrifice, and her father’s spirits, it shall and will grant them eternal life. The Holy Father also told Eve that it was still early in the second day and that she had one final spirit left and so Eve went on the rest of her day and time, loving and creating her last creation. And the following day the Holy father brought Eve’s creations to life, in which she called them Vampire(man), Werewolf(man), and Goblin(woman).

Late on the third day, Adam arrived to his Holy father on a great carriage withAll the colors and beautiful creatures you created my father on my journey and I have found love in all of them, Adam said, in so the Holy father told his son to Baptize your creations with the three spirits I give you in the forgotten crystal stream and when Adam proceeded to do so the waters began to change colors differently each time, and each time the spirits came to life, in which Adam named them thereafter the color the water changed when he baptized them, Black(woman), White(man), and Blue(man). This race shall be known as Shapeshifters.

When the time came the Holy Father told his children Adam and Eve that in seven days I shall send each of you eight more spirits and to do so the exact same process as I constructed on your original three and when the task is done come join your father in paradise. The Holy father continued to tell his children to allow their first creations to teach the new spirits what was passed and taught to them. When the seventh day came the eight beings of shimmering light arrived, in which Adam and Eve followed their father’s instructions.

Eve allowing her children to choose who they wanted to join them in this life, Vampire, he being the oldest took three spirits and said Create them like me mother but leave everything thing else in the Holy Fathers hands. Vampire not concerned or bothered in living forever, so when Eve gave her blood in a glass to Vampire and told him to let his creations drink and it shall grant them eternal lasting life. So Vampire did. He taught his three creations what was prominent to him from what he learned from his Holy Mother. Which was Caution, Tradition, and Unpredictability. With all of his knowledge was passed down to his three children deeming them the names and eventually the races of vampires, Cautious(man), Traditional(woman), and Unpredictable(man). Werewolf being the middle child felt that he could take care of himself and that only if his mother Eve could provide him two wives. Eve told Werewolf to bite the two beings and that her blood that she gives will course through their veins and that they too shall become life. In doing what his mother said Werewolf bit the two beings and his wives came to be known as Respected(1st wife) and Loved(2nd wife).

Goblin, she being the youngest and not able to live forever, was exact reason why Goblin was Eve’s joy, having time to teach her all kinds of wonders of magic and creativity. Though, Goblin was considered by her older siblings to be sweet, tiny, and spoiled. Goblin taking the last three spirits telling her mother Eve that she would love and treat her children as how her mother treated her. Eve smiling, brought Goblin’s spirits to life and the tools and traits from then on were taught to her children by her. She taught them secrets of longevity and magic. Along with medicines, as well as truth. But unfortunately, the traits that her older siblings deemed goblin as, would forever identify her and her children, Sweet(woman), Tiny(man), and Spoiled(woman).

Adam receiving his eight spirits late on the seventh day, baptized all of them the same way in which he did his first children. In doing this, the water changed each time differently and they too were named after the color in which water changed when they were baptized. Them being, Brown(man), Green(woman), Gray(man), Red(woman), Yellow(woman), Orange(man), Violet(woman), and Indigo(woman). When Adam’s task was done, he told his children that they can choose the beings by which the journey they were planning on seeing the world, but Adam also added that they must always be careful and stay together, looking over their race and history of who they are. So Lady Black being the oldest took 4 spirits, Brown, Gray, Red, and Indigo. Brother White chose 3, they being Yellow, Green. and Orange. Young Blue picking last picked Violet, and being simple and naive and not thinking about his journey, they flew away. These creatures were taught by the elders that chose them and teaching them all the things that their father Adam taught them. Magic and strength, as well as the beauty of transformation, as well as extended health. Though not able to live forever, Shapeshifters possessed the gift of long lasting love of their father which in tact longer years of life, unlike humans instead of 65 years being average lifespan, the love of Adam makes it for Shapeshifters more 265 years on average.

Overtime the Holy Father seeing the love and flaws in his children as well as the innocence in their creations. He created man(human) to be the middle ground for his Earth creation, as well as the middle balance of his children’s creations. Due to the fact that the Holy Father knew the love Eve had for her children giving her first to children eternal lasting life. However the Holy Father knew that their had to be more sacrifice in which for Vampire to be live forever he must drink from a living thing. And since his mother arrived so bright and early the second day, Vampires shall scar when bright sun hits them. Werewolf being the alpha species the Holy father granted exactly that on a permanent basis. For which when the sun goes down you shall be change to the permanent alpha of which you are and so Werewolves from then on after change at night, being misunderstood and secluded by far the best way to do so, which puts them into distance from the world as of now. As for goblin being Eves baby and Her love was molded and created as such, and Goblin stature shall forever depict so The Holy Father said.

Then the Holy Father went to Adam and said your creations are beautiful son but shall be made in my image, in terms of all shall be as random as I made this here Earth. So Shapeshifting and gifts are forever more as so, some can do things, others can’t, as well as the other way around, the Holy father said. Like a shimmering diamond, meant to bring in life and let chance reflect the color in which I am seen and so shall forever your children Adam...

Time went on and Adam and Eve children realized that the Holy Fathers young child, man, being last and youngest, seemed to need time to develop and evolved slower. So evolving was the solution in which Adam and Eve’s creations realize waiting and not revealing themselves until man or a person individually was ready for all of the knowledge of the Holy Father’s creations, so that all can live on this Earth, together, like he intended.

Chapter 2

Anterious

My name is Anterious Green. For some reason mother always made it simple on me and my sister, or at least when we were kids. I never felt like I didn’t fit in, even though my weekends and friends might be a little different than the average nineteen and a half year old. I’m a shapeshifter, well by blood. I don’t shift into an animal like some of my kind do but I do have other really cool things like the ability of blending in, specifically earth’s natural elements. So going outdoors, with danger near, let me tell you it comes in handy. My sister Alexandria however, can turn into a hummingbird, which is cool and totally fits her personality. By the way I’m a green, meaning when kids in my culture turn 5 you get placed underwater in a holy pool (our world) and with a few ingredients as well as a hint of magic, and whatever color the water turns is your, lets say traits, meaning that the color in which your soul reflects. Same way in which Adam did his first children way back when. Or at least that’s what was written. By the way, my last name being green is because of my father, not my soul. Never been a huge fan of irony. My father however, is a teacher and not a shapeshifter. He’s a warlock, I know confusing right.

World of Vampires and Goblins, Shapeshifters and Werewolves, seems intense, and to then throw in the words witch and warlock and the party gets shut down. But not in my world, it’s more of a symbol or acknowledgement of (human)someone who knows of and practices in our world. Kinda of a badge of respect. But still can be used for good or bad, hence the history and reputation. Luckily for my family, our dad is awesome, well bit on the goofy, nerdy side but he tries. We tease him and call him Ty Burrell which fits and we all get a big laugh. And with me seeing and knowing what I know I’m blessed for it. I guess we consider ourselves like a modern family but with a lot cooler tricks. My mom is a shapeshifter, and she and my sister when they were baptized, they too happened to be green as well, so it makes our family closer than most, because in this world that’s actually really rare. Even more so it’s great that my mom is from humble beginnings in terms of our origins and I like it that way. I mean would it be great to transform into a wolf like a lot of common black shifters do? Of course it would! Or a lion like red shifters? Absolutely, but that’s the world our father created and you know what, you gotta say that’s pretty fare. Their benefits to everything, even working hard in my world has the same outcomes as anyone else. I may not shift but I can learn all my books of Adam and that knowledge alone could help, even magic takes a lot practice and let me tell you it’s ten times harder than it looks on T.V.. A lot of that is due to the fact that it’s an ancient gift and quite unpredictable. Well at least from my experience so far. But lucky for me i’ll have a few years to get it right. See we shifters tend to live a bit longer than say the average person. I mean just think of it as reverse dog years that’s all, we tend to age normally up until about the age thirty then kinda slow for about 150 years then kinda roll through what we like to call our holy stage meaning we start to slowly age again. I mean we
