Feeding into all those stereotypes it was almost regarded as a fact in the magical world that free-spirited fairies were rather weak compared to strong and stern witches. Furthermore it was well-known that fairies took additional care of their magic itself and appreciated it as an equal force made from nature, while witches dominated and cultivated their abilities strictly for their own gains and couldn’t care less about a gentler approach. Both drew their magical powers from very contrasting sources, light standing opposite of darkness. So why, for the love of the blessed forest, was this ancient unspoken rule suddenly about to be broken, by none other than the two parties who had been providing the prime example of its implementation for decades?įairies and witches - they didn’t mingle, ever. It had been working moderately well, no apparent reason for diminishing these mannerisms in sight. To keep the calm and preserve a sophisticated and intellectual image on the outside everywhere.

That was how it had been for centuries, rivalries and resentments between opposing fractions being kept on the low, fed into as least as possible. Instead you should take care of keeping them separated at all times, preventing any potential conflict breaking out. You couldn’t mix all the different forms with each other carelessly and expect the outcome to be smooth and peaceful. This fact seemed easy to understand and became as strong and obvious as it got within the world of magic and its users. In life and nature there were certain things that simply did not go well together.
