At this very moment, Ian was listening to Hua'an's guiding spirit energy fluctuations, sensing the transmission of the other's spirit energy messages into his own heart, leading him toward the deeper reaches of his mind, to a place more abstruse and unseen.

—Fae are not humans.
Fae are born without bodies; they are a mass of formless and insubstantial souls, naturally endowed with the ability to alter nature.
In ancient times, the protection of the fae could make the waters and grasses abundant in a region, bringing a bountiful and joyful harvest... The fae were those ancient spirits of nature, representing the world itself, or rather, the very tentacles of the planet's collective natural spirit energy.
But later... perhaps by coincidence, an awakening, a mutation, or even a miracle—the fae separated from the vastness of nature and began to fashion their own physical forms for themselves.
