The Fairytale War

*Moved from Fantasy*
*Based off my book, this is a prequel*
*Don't mock the title, it was for lack of a better one at the moment*
*Takes place in 1920s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1920s *

The humans have their fairytales, about witches and wizards and werewolves, who they think aren't real, so why can't the 'mythical' creatures have their own fairytales as well? Whispered stories, tales told in the dead of night... all about two doomed races, the habui, and the dreamweaver. About the secret war they supposedly used to wage. Maybe even about the ones that still walk among us. But before I continue with my story, perhaps you'd like to know a little about the races themselves:

Habui
Powers: They can take over minds, or bodies. When they're taking over somebody's body, their hair turns a frosted white. When they take over (or read, or send messages to, ect) somebody's mind, their eyes shift to a different color (Purple if the habui is a girl, red for guys). They can also crush, or damage, somebody's soul. Their powers are intensified by rage. Oh, and twins share a soul. It's complicated.

General personality: Sadistic. Cold. A perfect soldier race. They get joy out of causing physical pain

Weaknesses: They can't control the bodies and minds of other habui, or of the insane. And their powers can be temporarily disabled if their concentration is broken by a sedative, a blow to the head, ect. Plus, their powers are draining, and using them on multiple people at once requires serious skill.


Dreamweavers
Powers: They can take over dreams, or give somebody extremely realistic hallucinations of painful memories. Even control emotions to an extent, especially to intensify fear while their victim is in a dream. Oh, and ironically, they can't dream themselves. Instead of dreaming when asleep, they relive memories

General personality: Crazy, they enjoy giving emotional pain

Weaknesses: They can't control the dreams of somebody or give them hallucinations if said person is wearing a Dream Talisman, which basically looks like a necklace with a dream catcher. Only dreamweavers can make them, though.

Halfbreeds
Now very, very, VERY rarely, there will be a halfbreed. This happens when a habui or dreamweaver has a child with some other speicies. Their powers aren't as strong as a fullbreed's, but they also don't have to deal with as much sadisticness, or craziness. What happens when a dreamweaver and a habui have a child, you ask? What, are you insane?!

Hunters
They can be any species. Human, dragon (well... maybe not dragon. They sorta frown on those. Though... arg... the dragons from my 'Verse are complicated. Please see next section), werewolf, vampire... as long as they're not a habui or dreamweaver, it just doesn't matter. They've all been to a special school, and trained to kill. They firmly believe that what they're doing is right, and hey, maybe, in a way, it is. They have lots of cool gadgets, by the way.

Good thing this is all just a fairytale.

Oh... and as an extra note:

Dragons
Just a run down of how dragons are in my 'Verse:
Shifters: A majority of dragons can shift from human to dragon to human, like with a werewolf, but a dragon instead of wolf. Savvy?
Old school: Sometimes you stumble upon a group of dragons that can't shift, or in rare cases, just refuse to. Avoid these bad boys, though since they live in really secluded areas you probably can't find them anyway. They have very simple minds, but they're super dangerous.
Types: There are lots of different types of dragons, with lots of different body types and talents but... eh... just ask me about it and I'll explain.

(Note from Princess Endellion of the Divided Courts of the Habui and Dreamweavers:
Okay guys, this takes place during the intense part of the war, quite a while ago. Exactly when has yet to be determined... ah... yea. Anywho, I reserve the right, since this is like a prequel to my book, to correct you, or tell you something is anti-canon, ect, blah. And READ ALL OF THE POST ABOVE, OR I WILL SHANK YOU. THAT MEANS ALL OF THE POWERS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE HABUI AND DREAMWEAVER, CAREFULLY. Oh, and please, don't everybody make a halfie. Honestly. Oh... and avoid my habui characters with the last name of 'Aldric'. They are the ancestors of Marley/Dorian/Alex, and they are bad news)

(Extra note from Princess Endellion of the Divided Courts of the Habui and Dreamweavers:
OH. AND THREE SENTIENCE POSTS MINIMUM. OR I WILL LITERALLY KICK YOU FROM THE CHAT.)

Pavo, your characters are great

-poke-

I don't have to be the one to start this, ya know >.> anybody else can feel free. I can only get on on the weekends

Karelle watched all the people from her position in the shadows, her amber eyes flashing uneasily as she did. So many people....which had she come here again? Her cave was so much more comfortable. No people, no awkward conversations where she tried to act the age she was spose to be.

These modern humans, the way they spoke and acted, it was so much harder to keep up with than the older culture. Ah yes, that was why she'd come out. To interact, learn the new ways. Years of being alone tended to leave her with very little.

So, first things first. Clothing, she needed to dress more appropriate for the modern women. Nodding to herself she picked up the skirt of her dress and walked out of the alley towards one of the stores she'd seen several women walk into.

NOTE: I actually wrote this before I had to get on the failpod. It was when I tried to send this post that I realized my internet had been stolen.
