      Fact: All the oldest accounts of the history of mankind make mention of witches, werewolves, and vampires. Despite the fact that many civilizations had no contact with one another, tales can be found wherever there was a human civilization to pass them on.

      Fact: Throughout the middle ages, witches, werewolves, and vampires were considered by most to be a real threat to humankind. Arguably all those persecuted were likely human, but then again, how can we really be sure?

      Fact: There is a correlation between the number of people believing in something and the likelihood of that something manifesting.

      Fact: The easiest way to keep a secret is to fictionalize it, then tell it over and over until absolutely no one believes it is true.

      Witches, werewolves, and vampires—Is all the fiction merely a cover-up for a truth far more real than what we have been told?

      Introduction

      The story of Lantis began a million or so years ago. To understand the roots of how all these stories came about, Legacy of Lantis needed to begin at the beginning—at Origin—the first book about the Legacy of Lantis. This was back when planet Earth was called Lantis, back when the Piretian, Helen, and the Lantian, Jonathan, first met. Without these two, any feelings of co-operation between Piretians and Lantians would not have had its beginning in long-ago Lantis. And the animosity between the races would probably have continued unabated to our present time.

      Now, the idea of vampires, werewolves, immortals, witches, and gods being real is not exactly new. The story of Lantis, however, is and it more accurately portrays who these beings are. Even so, as you will encounter in all the books this story has inspired, the monsters are not called vampires or werewolves, the immortals are not necessarily happy with their long lives, and witches are among the good guys.

      Then there are the gods. Not only are they not gods, but it would seem that one of their kind is an unparalleled geneticist. See - Terminology/Deminians.

      Interview with David Parkins

      To set the stage, we have an interview taken from notes of Anthony Flagler, the editor of the Decatur Tribune. This was recorded during one of his conversations with David Parkins after Flagler had sent the rookie reporter to investigate strange happenings at a Catholic church in the small city of Decatur, Illinois.

      This, David’s first assignment, initiated the reporter’s encounters with the monsters as recorded in the Legacy of Lantis books. The reporter would never have lived to tell that tale if not for the intervention of an even greater evil. David’s escape from those feran led him down a path of discovery that changed his life forever.

      Now, the problem has become: What can he do with such a story? If he were to claim that werewolves and vampires are real, he would get the same response as all the folks who have declared they have seen UFOs. It would never be treated as a serious account. Who would believe him?

      Would you?

      [Flagler] Thirty-five years—That’s how long I have been in the newspaper business. I have heard my share of unusual stories during that time and have written a fair share of them myself. But this story ... This information, if it’s true, is by far and away the strangest.

      A few weeks ago, I sent a cub reporter, David Parkins, on an assignment. During this assignment, David stumbled into what I first thought was merely a sub-culture. Nothing more than humans playing at being vampires, werewolves, and witches. My initial reluctance to accept all that he was telling me was also based on the fact that David was young, inexperienced, and gullible.

      The scary part of this is, from the information I’ve gathered and the little research I’ve been able to conduct, that what David told me appears to be true. The following’s a transcript of a recorded conversation that David and I had recently.

      [Flagler] Okay, David. Go ahead.

      [David] I’m not sure where to start.

      [F] If you can stop fidgeting, you could begin with an overview of what you’ve run into.

      David did as I asked. However, as I am trying to make this as clear as possible, I’ll skip over David’s initial monolog. Keeping to the point has yet to become part of the young man’s verbal style.

      [D] So what do you think?

      [F] Frankly, David, it’s a lot to digest. You’re telling me that there are people living among us who don’t die?

      [D] They can die. It just takes a lot to kill one of them. But other than that, yeah, they’re what I’d call immortal. Wouldn’t you if you met someone who’d been around for 50,000 years?

      [F] Without aging?

      [D] They look to be my age.

      [F] David, I’m going to need a good bit of proof—

      [D] Boss, I don’t have any evidence of the age these beings live to as of yet. Still, the pictures and recording I gave you a month ago about what happened to Jessica should be enough for you to give me the time to get that proof for you.

      [F] Okay, fine. So, we have these immortals living among us. You called them by two different names—Lantians and Piretians are the terms I believe you used.

      [D] Yes, sir.

      [F] You’re saying they look like us?

      [D] Mostly, the Lantians look like football players.

      [F] Even the women?

      [D] Well ... They are very tall.

      [F] But they’re still big and hulky.

      [D] No ... more statuesque and beautiful.

      [F] What about the Piretians?

      [D] They aren’t as tall. They’re also a
