With each new generation born the hate and fear seemed to be something that the young were born with and the old encouraged. Although the winged ones hated what the red eyes did they did not truly hate them but feared them and what they could do. With the passing of time both races came to name themselves. The red eyes came to call themselves “Nightwalkers” for their love of the night. While the winged called themselves “Angelic” for their love of peace and the love of flying. Though the Angelics loved peace they had little tolerance for the Nightwalkers for they betrayed their trust and turned on them. Both species had begun to build great civilizations for their people. These civilizations were built eons before the human’s time long before the humans even had a culture.

After millennium of evolution the humans caught up and were fully evolved but had only a basic form of language. They also had built villages that were crude but there was an order to the humans now. The humans still did not grasp the notion of territory and they tried to move into the Nightwalker lands but failed. The Nightwalker’s attacked them protecting their territory. During the attack they fed on the blood of the humans when drinking their blood they found that human blood was more satisfied than animal blood. Not wanting to lose their new food supply they killed them all so that none could go back and tell what happened that night. It also sent a message that this was their land and their time not the humans.

Every few days the Nightwalkers would go and hunt the humans for food. They would be kind to them in a way only killing what they needed. The human race outnumbered them greatly. Slowly the humans begun to grow by building a culture and an awareness of the world around them. This included the Nightwalkers and the Angelics who they came to see as gods on earth.  The humans evolved to look like the Nightwalkers and the Angelics but minus all their gifts and powers. However they modeled their new world on them so that they could blend in and not be hunted but to be praised.

The humans, Nightwalkers and Angelics all lived in a relative understanding that they stay out of each other’s way and their roles in this world. The humans might have copied the ways and skills of their gods but they had their own distinct language and written words. 

Primitive as it were but it was a highly effective way to convey their thoughts, feelings and their stories.

The three species grew, thrived and increased their population but unknown to them two out of the three species were changing on the inside. For centuries they all continued to live until one day the Angelics and the Nightwalkers noticed that they no longer aged or pass onto the next life. With this came a downfall they lost the ability to reproduce as often as the humans. Instead they could go decades without having any children. This made them look weak and the humans appeared to be getting stronger. Soon their great civilization would begin to fall. This fall would come at their own hands as many of the Nightwalkers and Angelics could not bear to see another century come to pass. They would try to take their own lives but they didn’t die. They would try several ways to end their lives but they still did not die. Until they found a shining metal (silver) that burnt their skin, they made weapons out of it in the shape of arrow heads, swords and daggers. With these new weapons they could use them to end their pain. Some used it on each other and found through trial and error that the only way to die was by decapitation, stabbed in the heart by the silver weapons or by sunlight which only affected the Nightwalkers. This they kept to themselves cause if the humans knew they would turn against them and wipe them out in a mass genocide.

In a few hundred years their civilization fell and they abandoned their cities. Their cities did not lay dormant for very long as the humans took them for their own. They thought their gods had abandoned them. They were not abandoned as they thought for the Nightwalkers and the Angelics only moved to the outskirts. They could no longer sustain them with so few numbers. They left their cities to be found by the humans so that they would be taken care of and respected. They also did this so that they could go home one day but this did not happen. The humans destroyed the great cities through war, greed and power. Some stayed in the cities hoping to see their gods while others moved around the world creating small villages, new civilizations, cultures and beliefs. These villages, civilizations, cultures and beliefs would fall as a new one would arise. Being immortal the Nightwalkers and Angelics saw this ever changing time thou the humans did not as they grew old, forgot and died.

The Nightwalkers and the Angelics lived among the humans but not together as they were unable to coexist. After so many years of hatred and fear they could no longer live apart as there was a safety in numbers. They tried to keep the peace in order to survive but that did not come easy as the hate was too strong. They tried it in small intervals and it worked for a while. Soon more begun to live together and for the next several centuries in a relative peace. Some even learnt to get passed their differences and become friends. Some even became lovers but most of the relationships did not last very long. They found that they were unable to conceive children together. Like most species they wanted children to keep their lines alive but instead they remained friends. As they lived together among the humans they began to notice that the humans no longer saw their true forms anymore. Instead seeing them only as humans allowed them to move more easily through the villages and live more private lives. The only ones able to see their true forms were the Nightwalkers and Angelics but the human children were somehow able to see their true selves. The children would point them out in public to their parents who would laugh and think their children were special since they could see their gods. After a while the parents would ignore their children’s words as when they grew up the children could no longer see them as if it was just a passing phase. Thou some believed it so much that they became priests and priestess.

After centuries of evolution the Nightwalkers were fully evolved but the Angelics still had one more thing left needing to be evolved which were their wings. This evolution would be a painful one as they gained this ability to hide their wings. This process would involve the breaking of bones, muscles tearing with their skin, their feathers falling under their skin becoming another layer yet being completely unnoticed by the people. With this they also gained the ability to make the humans see their wings but only when they wanted them too.

They all lived together some even died together because when most reached the age of three hundred to five hundred years they felt like they had lived long enough and it was time to go. To them this was honorable way to die but only if the family or friends do it. If you were to die by your own hands it would be a cowardly way to die. To them honor is all a person has in this life. Those that died were not forgotten as their memories were passed down in stories to their children and their children’s children. There was one slight problem the children became less and less each year. Even after centuries passed still there was no children were born. But then there could be one, two or ten be born then centuries could pass again with no children.

Soon there would come a time when children would be born more freely but in order to bring this life many will have to die for this to happen. When the first child is born the world will be forever changed for all that inhabit this planet. The truth of each species will be reveled and it would set the course of human beliefs for all time to come.

As the mortals will rise and the immortals will fall...........
