For years, people have known that supernatural beings live and work side by side with them, from vampires to fairies and nearly everything between and beyond. Most have donned a human guise, trying to fit in and avoid ridicule, prejudice, and being hunted down for the many sins the power-hungry have committed against the weaker race.
Many have found ways to adapt to a lifestyle conducive to living peacefully with humans: the most persistent of vampires have either found the restraint to refrain from killing humans or finding another source for sustenance. Werewolves have gained more control over their killer instincts, focusing their hunger instead on animals, and aiding in keeping the deer population down. A few of the fay have even developed a semi-immunity to iron, allowing them to at least walk through buildings clad in the element. And the list just goes on.
Most humans have been quick to judge these supernaturals, fearing them. Knowing that their neighbor could very well be one of them, most have grown paranoid. They speak of supernaturals in hushed whispers carefully shut behind locked doors. They have created their own curfew, avoiding the streets after dark when the most deadly of hunters prowl. Even, if only in quick, passing theories, spoken of driving the supernaturals away so humans would no longer have to live in the state, as some say, “between fear and freedom.”
But, of course, it’s just talk… for now. After all, telling human from supernatural is difficult for even the most experienced. Even those brave enough to become hunters—a long-since forbidden practice—who go in search of the few remaining supernaturals who live by the “old-world” thought that humans are meant to be a part of the food chain, can only see their prey when the supernatural desires it or lets their guards down.
While humans struggle with the decision of what to do, and try to develop some means of driving out—if not eradicating—the supernaturals, the old-world believers have begun to create their own hushed plans to break their own “between fear and freedom” lifestyle. Even some of the supernaturals who have lived, docile and content, among humans have grown tired of the abuse of their misjudged people. They have grown more and more desperate to have some sort of release, and their desire to find some way to show humans that their people aren't all bad has become a dire need.
Can the majority of supernaturals who wish and are happy to live among humans prove their innocence and work together with human and hunter alike to eliminate the threat the old-world supernaturals and misunderstanding humans pose,
