Just something I wrote for an exercise. If you like it let me know I might have to continue it.

Centuries ago our people lived along side with the humans. We helped shape and build human's society from the mud. Once man learned to make weapons they quickly turned on us because they feared our power. We were hunted down and persecuted and killed. Eventually we were forced to move to the realm of Nexus which is another plane the coincides with earth. We use to be called incantatrix a name we took pride in but the humans gave us the nickname witches branding us as evil magic users who serve the devil. Eventually we faded from the human culture and we became that of fairy-tales and folklore. Years ago my mother did the unthinkable, she traveled to the human world which is against our ways in fear of more bloodshed. My mother went in search of a ancient spell book that contained spells to help cure certain diseases and fix common predicaments in Nexus. While my mother was in the human realm she met a young man and fell in love. Eventually they married and soon after my mother was with child. My mother told my father if I was not born in Nexus I would never be able to gain magical powers.

            My parents settled in Crescent Moon, a small village outside the Crystal Forest a holy relic to our people. The incantatrix of the Tempest region gave birth in the forest for its special magical properties that would give each infant a extra magical boost. However when my parents traveled to the human realm for a visit my mother went into labor and I was born in the human world. Incantatrix are allowed to marry humans however any offspring they produce is suppose to born in the land of Nexus. The Grand Coven is afraid the influences of the human world could bring corruption and destruction to our world. My parents lied and told the Coven I was a home birth.  It took five years but the Grand Coven discovered that I was not born of this world. Rather than banish my family, the Grand Coven ordered the execution of me. My father stayed behind to buy my mother time as she fled with me. I never knew what happened to my father I can only assume he was killed.

            I've spent the last ten years hiding with my mother in the human world. We've been living with the Grimm family which is my father's family. They understand that my mother and I are incantatrix and the sacrifice my father made to ensure our escape. The Grimm family has been teaching me how to live among humans. The first few years were hard because I had to learn the native tongue. The human world has dozens of languages and I mastered them all. Only after did my mother tell me that I only had to learn English which was the native language of this land. Apparently our native language Theban is the base for dozens of languages including English. It's a poorly butchered version of the Theban language.Tomorrow I start what the humans call High School if its like any of the other educational systems in this realm I'm sure I'll be bored too.
