Amedis POV
There were only about a thousand of us in total, perhaps a few more, but we rarely ever stayed in one place long enough for that number to be verified. We were spread out across various regions, virtually kings and queens to whatever collection of supernatural creatures gathered beneath our banner.
During that time, there was nothing that separated supernatural beings in terms of species; all we were, was a people who had the ability to manipulate and mold the pure mana around us, with the Immortals being the only difference in species.
There were three generations of Immortals; The Primordials, The Olympians, and The Ancients. I was born of the last generation, significantly weaker than those that came before us, so our strength was supplemented with various relics; the Relics that you mortal mages so greedily covet and steal. That is where the term Ancient Relic is derived from.
