It was midday and all of Alena’s shifters we safely on Earth. She turned to smile at the fae princess, their eyes meeting for a moment, making it possible for her to see all the worry within them. “Both the cats and the dogs have safely travelled to Earth, Willow. Alder looks knackered, but he’s still going, so I applaud your decision to choose him as the one in control of that side of the door.”

Willow had opened the door at midnight on the day when the boundaries between their world and Earth were at their weakest, because it meant that creating it used less magic than it would have done on any other day, and fortunately the Princess wasn’t stupid. Theo was the first to step through it, as one of the twin Kings of the cat shifters, while Tybalt had stayed behind, making sure that everything ran smoothly on Kalinia. As they only had six hours to get everyone through, before the dogs took over, it was important that it all went as planned – and with cats getting anything to go as planned could be difficult, but Theo knew the realisation was beginning to set in. Kalinia was fading fast. With Willow’s fae gone they’d have a little extra time. With Willow gone they had no other chance of getting to safety, unless they did what the griffins did and went hunting for a door, and it seemed unlikely they’d find one because they didn’t have the ability to feel magic.

Before my magic manifested I thought I was a pure shifter, but I don’t know why. I know very little about either side of my family, because we don’t keep track of our bloodlines in the same way the fae do and that means we have very little knowledge of who my ancestors might have had relationships with, although I do know now that at least one of them must have had a child who was shifter-fae. When Willow found out about me… you have no idea how hard I was hoping she never would, because I knew that she’d want me to go to the school she set up and that wasn’t something I really wanted. Now, though, thanks to her annoyingly convincing arguments, I find myself standing outside of the building, hoping that whoever I’m going to share a dorm with will be understanding. Having a shifter in the school is unusual, to say the least.

It wasn’t an unusual situation. Travelling to Earth had changed things for all three of the races, and for the humans as well, but for the fae the change was more obvious. Like many fae parents Iantha’s had split up because the two of them disagreed on a number of issues, the main one being whether the fae should be mixing with the other races, and those arguments had been passionate on both sides, because her mum was the only one who’d married into a fae family. All of her siblings had chosen shifters or mer people to be their lovers and she was seen as the black sheep due to her choice. She had handfasted for love, a love that had faded with every argument they had. Of course it hadn’t helped when the man she had chosen told her that her family wasn’t permitted to enter their home.

The flash of colour made Colton stop, although it took him a couple of steps to realise that he had seen something. Slowly he turned to look at it and found that the flash of colour was actually something that looked like a red door. He knew exactly what it was, because his parents had told him about the school, so he knew he had a decision to make. Being able to see the door meant he had enough magic to be counted as fae by the fae, but he wasn’t sure he wanted to be fae, even though part of him obviously already was, as he’d heard a lot of bad things about them. Not just from his parents, who’d both graduated from the school before choosing to live in an area that was home to several other mixed bloods, from shifters to mer people, so they didn’t have to spend any more of their time around fae who believed they were better than everyone else due to their ‘pure’ blood.
