"Wake up Chris or you'll sleep through your entire summer," Angelica, his mother knocks on his door. Chris is a fourteen year old boy living in a secluded gated community; his entire community are made up of witches and wizards. Chris gets out of bed and places his wizard robe (that he goes nowhere without) on and heads down the hallway to the kitchen.
"Good morning mom and dad," he yawns as Damh the bards 'Song of Awen', starts playing.
His parents look at each other, "we need to talk."
His mother places a bowl of fruity loops in front of him, "I don't know how to begin."
"You know how there are different planets in this galaxy," his mother sits next to him, "well there are diferent realms, such as Tuatha De Danaan, a fairy realm, there are realms of heavens and hells," she pauses, "we're from a realm called 'Mystic Realm'."
"Are we even human?" Chris looks from one parent to the other, "What of this realm, do no witches live here?"
"What do I say," Chris looks from one parent to the other waiting for them to say it is a joke, but they don't, "tell me about this place."
"What can I say about the Mystic realm, it was created by 'the great God Pan', about four thousand B.C. He created it for his and Dionysus's true followers, but the other gods took it for themselves as the Christian and Muslim religions rose to power. Don't get me wrong our Pagan gods still fuck with our lives," his parents say as he looks confused at them.
"Why didn't you tell me about this place and why do we live here instead of there?"
"We thought it would be best that you experience both realms,"Azule his father says as he turns down the volume of the laptop, "we intend to leave for the other realm tomorrow."
Chris mumbles something as he leaves the house. He doesn't know where he's going just knows he has to get out of the house for a few hours. He walks and walks through the gated communities forest until he finds himself at his favorite waterfall. He looks down at his reflection to find the same dark skinned white haired reflection looking back at himself, "WHAT THE PUCKING PELL DO I DO." He hits his reflection and watches as the reflection ripples before him.
"So you must have found out about yourself," a beautiful lady clad in a giant Lilac like dress says as she emerges from the waterfall. She is faired skinned with almond colored eyes, "I've been watching over this waterfall since before you were born, I am a Naiad Nymph."
"I've been coming to this waterfall lake for a goddesses age why haven't you made your self known till now?"
"You weren't ready," the nymph sits by him on the bank of the lake, "don't be angry with your parents, they just wanted to make sure you had a perspective of both realms."
"I'm not sure what to think, my whole life is a lie, I don't even know if I want to leave this realm, what is the place like?"
The Naiad looks at him and starts to talk, ""It is a place of wonder and ah, a place where magicka runs wild."
"Doesn't magick run wild here, I mean we all practice it everyday?"
"Magick here is mainly limited control of energies and incantations, and besides there is a lot more then just magick." the Naiad looks in to the now calm lake, "let your parents be the ones to tell you more," and with that she mistifies and sink under the lakes surface.
Chris doesn't have time to think since his parents come walking up to him.
"We know we should have told you," his mother says.
"We thought it was better not to tell you fifty children until now," his father says as Chris gets off the ground.
"Did you know that there are nymphs in this lake," Chris asks with amusement.
"There are all sort of mythical creatures here, but they mainly live very deep in the woods. There are even more in the Mystic realm."
"We should head back, we'll answer your questions," Angelica says as she places her arms around his shoulders.
"What do you want to know first," Azul asks he leads the way to the family room.
"What exactly is this other realm?"
"The realm is called 'Mystic Realm', it was created for the great God Pan and the great God Dionysus's true followers, but the other Gods took it over as the Christian and Muslim religious sects grew to power,"
"Like your father and I were saying before you left, the gods still 'mess', but not as much in this realm; the 'Natural Realm'," his mother sets a pitcher of tea on the table. The table is in the center of the room which has a scrying glass ball and also tarot deck
"The realm is made up of thousands of continents and islands. There are many Democratic run nations, empires and many diferent kingdoms like; Rome, Kingdom Salts, Elvonia, Avalon, and Atlantis yes thee Avalon, and Atlantis and ect, our kingdom is Kingdom Salts, it is ruled by a king and queen with Capitalism." Azul takes a drink of tea, "there are any creature you have ever read about lives there; such as elves, humans sidhe, dwarves, there are so many that we'll let you see for yourself once we get there."
"The realm is also very dangerous, it has Minotaurs and elemental dragons, its got 'bloodsuckers' which is not the same as psychic vampires',"
"There are vampires?" Chris interupts her.
"There are two types, bloodsuckers; which are vampires that drink blood and are savages they have no soul, and then there are psychic vampires; that suck on magic or psychic energy, and these vampires have souls and have complete control over their urges. There are many different kinds of shifters there as well." Angelica say as she hands him a book of shadows.
Chris opens the book to find the first page to be a full moon spell:

Chris looks through the otherwise empty book, "this book is for me?"
"We think you should have one now," his mother says, "there's another thing you should know and its the time difference. The time is not twenty-four hours like it is here, it is forty-eight hours, twenty four hours in half a day."
His father gets off the couch they are sitting on, ��this realm is its own planet, which has its own solar system, the solar system has its own galaxy and universe. This realm is thousands of years more advanced then this realm the Natural Realm. Its got metropilises, and skyscrapers"
"How more advanced?"
"They have flying vehicles, holographic tv, floating islands, and so so much more, just wait till tomorrow you'll never want to leave and luckily you get to live for hundreds of years."
"How long is hundreds of years?"
"Lets just say I am forty-eight going on to two hundred ."
