At the crack of dawn, Callum dragged me out of bed for this training session of his. We left the cabin and entered the forest. After a ten-minute trek through the thick trees, we arrived at a clearing.

Two dozen sharp weapons, ranging from golden axes to silver swords and everything in between, sat on a rack by a large oak tree.

“What is all that stuff?” I folded my arms, eyeing the weapons with unease. Callum was the last person I wanted to be alone with, given our history. But to add weapons to the mix? That was a huge no-no for me.

“Did you think I’d bring you out here to have a tickle fight, half-breed?” he growled, before turning to leer at me. “If we are going to awaken your inner power we must strengthen you physically first.”

Callum grabbed a long shiny sword from the rack and threw it in my direction, seemingly expecting me to catch the thing.

“Hey, watch it!” I side stepped the sword and it fell to the ground.

“Gah,” he groaned, slapping his forehead. “This is what I have to work with? Of all the she-wolves in Dominion…. May the Queen never hear of this disgrace.”

“The Queen?” My ears pricked up. “This is the second time I’m hearing about her. Who is she anyway? And why is the world called Dominion now instead of Earth?”

Callum took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. “So many questions… Fine, maybe a little history lesson will help take your mind out of that backwater hole you came from and ground you in your current reality.”

“Sixty years ago, President Dominion was the 68th President of the United States and its last. For eons we Magicals had lived amongst humans, all the while shielding them from the knowledge of our powers and existence. But everything changed with President Dominion.” Callum’s expression soured and his lip curled up as if he’d tasted something bitter.

“He was a powerful lion shifter who held on to the silly dream that the world of Magicals and humanity could openly live together.” He threw his long white hair back and sighed before shifting his gaze to a nearby tree. “He stupidly revealed the existence of us Magicals in a televised speech. And those scaredy-cat humans declared a bloody war on us that lasted seven long years.”

“War? For what? Just because we wanted to live free and in the open? I don’t understand why they would do that.”

“Humans are afraid of people who are different than themselves. Most of them would much rather see us dead than walking on their sidewalks.”

His words sent a cold shiver down my spine. The humans couldn't truly be that bad. I had to believe that at least some of them were good.

“And- and just what happened after the war?”

“By the end of the whole shebang, humanity fell and moved away, to live in human colonies, tucked away in various wilderness areas across the globe. And good riddance, I say. If they didn't want us then we don’t want them.
