CHAPTER 14

"Aliens?" a few responded at once, along with chokes, coughs, and clearing throats. Although Lucas and Riley merely listened with stunned silence.

"My Elders," continued Mathew, "Alethea and Daegal, came to earth along with Daemon, many many years ago, to explore. To learn about the human species. They had no ships to carry them. It wasn't needed. They held what we call a spirit form and they'd explored many worlds before this one. However, when they came into earth's atmosphere and landed on our ground, something happened they did not expect. You see, in their spirit forms, they were capable of morphing into another species to blend in. Adapting to the expected look of a local population allowed them to fit right in and explore unnoticed."

"That's kind of awesome," Michael said. "Crazy and unbelievable, but awesome."

"Well, the next part is where things get really interesting," said Mathew. "Because when they adapted to our human form, something unexpected happened—they got stuck in the form. They were unable to morph back into their spirit bodies."

"So they couldn't leave," assumed William.

"Correct. They basically became human. Over time they took human mates, had families, but another surprise hit them upon death. The spirit was released from the human form. They were free to leave at last."

"But they didn't?" Melinda shrugged to ask, why not?

"Because they'd created a new species. A new bloodline. They'd intermingled the Garudian bloodline with humans. They felt obligated to stay and watch over what they'd created. As you can imagine, over time and many generations, the bloodline continued, and after death, suddenly there were spirits wandering the earth with no purpose, plus, the spirits whose bloodlines were part human and part Garudian, were stuck on earth even after human death. Something had been changed, altered, because of their human and Garudian mixed blood."

"That's how the Guardians were created," put together Lizzy. "You needed a purpose."

Mathew nodded. "Yes. Alethea and Daegal decided they would remain and watch over their bloodline, but also protect humanity as well. And we became the Guardians."

"But what about Daemon?" asked Courtney. "Things obviously didn't remain peaceful."

"That's the simple answer," chuckled Mathew. "Daemon grew bored and his ego grew large. He'd always felt like he was better than the humans. Didn't see any reason for staying. Until he realized just how easily they could be misled. Deceived. He talked some of the Garudian bloodline into leaving the Guardianship and joining him—his Daemonites—now Demons. There was a war, but spirits can't kill what's technically already dead."

"Which is why the numbers are so important," Charlie put out there. "With a finite end to the bloodline, you don't want Demons to end up with more numbers than the Guardians. That's how Nina explained it anyway."

"Yes, exactly. And no one on either side wanted to kill humans who were not yet chosen for a side, because each hoped to bulk up their numbers," continued Rae. "That's why both sides agreed to the rules. Neither side wanted to risk losing numbers."

"We could not interfere with free will, merely tempt and suggest," Mathew explained.
