The soft glow from the chandelier above cast a warm light on Annabel’s features, revealing a calm but intense expression. She took a deep breath, ready to share her story.

From her position, she could see that her last words had shocked her friends into a huge mute phase. Emma, for one had her mouth open.

“My family,” Annabel began, her voice steady, “…has a long and unique lineage. We are the opposite of hunters. While hunters seek to destroy supernatural beings, we have dedicated our lives to protecting them.”

Emma and Amelia, seated across from her, exchanged curious glances. This was not the introduction they had anticipated.

“Our family, the Ingodils, has always stood as guardians of the supernatural,” Annabel continued. “For generations, we have been entrusted with the safety and well-being of those with extraordinary abilities. It is a rare calling, and even among humans, it is rare to find individuals with the gifts that we possess.”
