around their eyes.
    Hybrid Sennafae – A human who has been transformed into a
fae. There hasn’t been one for almost 200 years. Until B’Lana.
    Hybrid Rippers – a human who has been transformed into a
ripper, or vampire. Also known as a Nosferatu. They have very limited brain
functions. Blood and killing is all they think about.
     
    Fae Warrior – Short for Sennafae warrior. B’Lana calls all
of them fae.
    Sendryl – The home planet of both Sennafae and Ripper. It is
another dimension from Earth. There are portals all over Earth that lead to
various places on Sendryl. There is also one known portal on Sendryl that leads
to another world, but it has been determined that it is too dangerous to go
there so that portal is closed.

Chapter One of Book 4
     
    “Good morning B’Lana. How did you sleep?” The reverend asked
me as I walked into the kitchen for breakfast.
    “Pretty good all things considered. I guess my life is going
to be full of fighting and killing from now on?” I couldn’t believe how many
times I have had to fight in the past few months.
    “Dear, there are a few things we should probably discuss now
that you have recovered from the attack yesterday. I understand you won’t be
needed at the courthouse until later today. Why don’t we go outside after you
eat and sit in the garden?”
    “That sounds wonderful, thank you Reverend.”
    About 30 minutes later the Reverend walked me to a nice
shady spot in the garden.
    “Please tell me you are going to help me understand what all
of this prophecy talk is about? I don’t see how I am to fulfill some thousand
year old prophecy.”
    “We don’t know a lot about the prophets from old, but we do
know that every one of their prophecies have come true, with the exception of a
handful. One is about a girl who is from Earth. She becomes a hybrid Sennafae
and rescues her people from a great evil. She makes quite a few allies along
the way, and it was even foreseen that she would bond with a dragonette; that
is the ultimate honor for us. We only have a small amount of them left on this
world.
    “Some think that evil has come already and you are the key
to stopping it. While others believe you will bring the evil with you. And of course
there are those who want the evil to thrive. So you see, you will need to be
extra vigilant while you are here, and even when you return to Earth. There
will be Sennafae and Rippers who will try to destroy you.” The Reverend sure
knew how to make a girl feel special.
    “Is that all you know? Isn’t there anything else you can
tell me?” That couldn’t be all there is? How could that small amount of
information be enough to cause such a problem?
    “The rest is a bit confusing, it states that she will fall
in love and her love will sacrifice himself for her. Although we don’t know if
that means he will die. Ash and Lancer both have already sacrificed a lot for
you. Lancer is on trial now because of you.”
    “Wait, I am the reason he is on trial? How can that be?”
    “He turned you into a hybrid without getting permission
first. Also, he sent a lot of warriors to their death because you wanted the
Earthlings saved.”
    “So, it’s all my fault he is here? That’s so not cool! How
can you say such a thing?” Is that why he was so cool towards me when I
arrived? That would explain his behavior.
    “Ok, so if I believe what you say, and I am not saying I do,
what is it exactly that I am supposed to do? Kill the ‘evil’ you mentioned? How
is that possible?”
    “Like I said, we don’t know much, just that you will be the
savior of your people. That could mean you will save the future Sennafae
Hybrids or you will save the Earthlings from the rippers. Both are you people.
But you must remember, now that you have long life, you may be many years from
fulfilling the prophecy. Please don’t expect to be doing this now or even in
the next few years.
