The city of Primogentius was created in 23BC through the necessity to see our races protected from danger and attacks. At the end of the first war our races were depleted with the total number of men being less than six hundred. As such it was imperative to the future of our kind to keep our races safe.            The council met in an unforgettable gathering that lasted three weeks, in order to find a way to protect our future. At the end of the meeting, it was declared that all races must work together to create a city beyond the reach of humans, the city was to be called Primogentius.            Shields and Veils worked side by side to create a barrier to conceal the city from view. It was the first time in recorded history that the two races have worked together in harmony. It took two months before the barrier was comp

  After a few minutes to steady my nerves, I took a deep breath and left the kitchen, heading into the sitting room.The plain cream walls and wood finishes gave the room a modern feel but coupled with the old furniture and inches of dust on everything the room looked old, dated and unused. I grabbed a bottle of furniture cleaner and a cloth out of the kitchen and made my way around the living room. I might as well do something productive while searching through my parent’s things.I ran the cloth over the mantle, taking a moment to look at each of the photographs as I did so and tried really hard to ignore the lurch in my heart. These people were important enough to my parents for them to place pictures of them on display in their home and yet I didn't recognise a single one of them, not even the slightest hint of recognition and I hated that. These people should have been my family, my friends, the people in the world that I was closes

  Frustration, anger, disappointment and fear all raced through me but regardless of how I felt in that moment there was nothing I could do to change the situation.Two obvious choices raced through my mind. I could choose to hide, turn my back on a world of wonder and pretend that it didn't exist, I could go back to my flat, return to work and school, continue to go out for drinks with my friends and carry on with my life as usual. There was a chance that no one would ever find me considering that Peter, Cole and Braydon were the only people from Primogentius that had ever met me, but I would always have that niggling thought in the back of my mind. Wondering every time, I met someone new if they were there to kill me, looking over my shoulder and having no fore warning if anyone was coming for me.Or I could suck it up. I could try to get over my fears and accept that there is a balance to everything and that fighting in a war was the downsi

  As I predicted Jess was waiting with questions as soon as I entered the flat, her first question died on her lips however when she noticed Cole stood behind me.“My room is the first on the left, you can put your things in there for now, I’ll set the sofa bed up for you in a minute, but why don't you go and settle in while I explain things to Jess.”“You sure?” Cole mumbled his head close to mine and my brain stopped functioning at the close contact, at my nod he smiled to Jess before heading down the corridor and out of sight while I slumped on the sofa staring expectantly at my still gaping best friend.“Who the hell is that?” She whispered excitedly once the shock had apparently worn off, taking a seat beside me on the worn sofa.“That is Cole Mason.”“Okay but who is he?” I could see the spark of excitement in her eyes, and I breathed out in relief kno

  The week seemed to fly by, my days were so full that I barely had time to stop and think, something that I had actually become grateful for, I didn't have time to worry or panic when I was busy with university my friends and studying everything that Peter and Cole deemed necessary. After several long discussions with Cole and a phone call to Peter, I quit my job on Tuesday and spent all day Wednesday holed up in the flat reading through the books Peter had sent home with me, it wasn't a sacrifice I had wanted to make, I had liked my job but there simply wasn't enough hours in the day for me to fit everything in.I had agreed to take my seat on the council, a governing body that ran the city of Primogentius, they controlled the laws and the justice system, they
