A group of five walked up to the White House and demanded to be seen. When threatened with being escorted off the premises, a woman walked up to the gate and with a touch of her hands, it fell. That was the first sighting of a witch, next to her stood four other species the world thought were only legends; vampire, werewolf, elf, and faerie. Those five were the Supernatural Council, the community had decided they were sick of hiding and they wanted equal rights. With the world supposedly being more open to different things, the Supernaturals thought it was a prime time to expose themselves. All over the world, Supernaturals began showing themselves to their country's leader. But humans have a habit of being scared, cowardly creatures, and months later United Nations declared war on Supernatural species. Now the year is 2078, sixty two years later, and the only surviving species are the werewolves. They are kept in camps, used as slaves, and treated as what humans believed them to be; animals. This is the story of how a rebellion began, of how the last surviving Supernatural species broke from their chains, and liberated themselves. This is a story of a revolution. This is a story of equality. And it all starts with her. "I am not a beast in need of taming." - Briar Rose Roisin
