It was daybreak when I returned to the Magical Midway, and the usual suspects gathered to hear my report of what I found. My body was ravenous, and I jammed my face full of a sandwich as I revealed all I had learned.

Serena was reassured about Mark, but the group was dumbfounded to learn Gunther’s origins.

“Okay, wait a minute, back up. Are half-human half-witch children that unheard of? I can’t believe in the history of the paranormal world that cross-creature pairings are that out of the ordinary.”

“Your people, Charlotte, are a cluster of creaturist, elitist jerks. It’s happened in the past. There’s a reason so many humans run around outside paranormal towns waving crystals at the sun and flipping over tarot cards,” Fiona said. “But a paranormal that falls in love with a human can’t remain in a paranormal town. They take off, they live as humans. Eventually, they forget. The Witches’ Council doesn’t pay attention to much because they just… go elsewhere.”

“They go away because the Council makes it too difficult for them to stay,” Serena pointed out.

“The problem solves itself with their absence because there is an absence of their progeny,” Ningul said. “If two paranormals get together, the offspring will be one or the other. Not both, and not half. When… if Fiona and I marry and have children, they will be centaurs or kelpies. They will not be half-and-half.”

Fiona blushed.

“Witch and human pairings produce mixed offspring,” Uncle Phil said. “It is the only pairing that does. The Witches’ Council is against that taking place. They believe it dilutes witch magic.”

“That’s absurd! I’ve seen Gunther do magic. There’s nothing diluted about what he does,” I pointed out. “I never would have known he wasn’t a full witch. Heck, I’m more human than he is. There’s nothing human about him. I just… I never would’ve known. Seriously.”

“You would have if you and he tried to go visit a paranormal town,” Ningul pointed out.

“What you mean?”

“He would have twinkled as brightly as a light bulb. It’s an enchantment on the towns to ensure that all human-paranormals are detectable.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“That’s the enchantment.” Ningul shrugged.

“If that’s true, how did we not know this? Gunther went to a paranormal school, didn’t he?”

“He went to the Imperial Academy,” Uncle Phil said. “That’s for children of the Witches’ Council only. They don’t even allow those children out on the town. It would not be hard at all to obscure his origins from all except the Council and their offspring.”

“There is a reason many of us dislike witches, present company excluded,” Fiona told me. “They claim the enchantment is there for the safety of the half-witch, to let people know they are more ‘delicate’ and easily damaged.”

“That’s a bundle of malarkey,” Uncle Phil scoffed. “It’s there to make them feel like outcasts. Hard to feel comfortable when you’re putting off enough light to make a city block glow.”

“But he doesn’t glow here.”

“The Witches’ Council does not command us, Charlotte.”

“Not that they don’t wake up every morning and devise ways to try, eh?” Fiona said.
