Ages Of Mankind Novels & Stories

Soon, the hallway opens up to another cavernous room, but this one is lit by large, crystal chandeliers that tremble in a phantom breeze as I look down at the dozen or so men gathered below, all of them wearing the traditional dark gray cloaks of the elders. Some of these men have been elders for longer than I’ve been alive–longer than my father, who lived to be three-hundred, was alive. A dragon has to reach five-hundred years old to be considered an elder, which is a feat in itself. These men have seen it all–lived through five-hundred years, plus, worth of our kind’s history… but one man has seen a thousand years and is still standing. Elder Atticus turns to me and bows deeply, his frail

Just like Rourke has been aware that I’m subject to the marriage laws, even if he isn’t. Being that we’re supposed to be bringing back the fabled race of Elvan people, every high-born is expected to have a minimum of three spouses and a child with each by the age of one hundred.... Even if we're not 'immortal' like all the fables. Elves generally live between three hundred and eight hundred years a piece, depending on blood purity. We develop like humans, until we hit maturity, but don't really hit middle age or over the hill until our second if not third century.

I mean, the one people referred to as a wife or husband? Under the sea, I was already thirty-eight years old. But using the land’s clock, I was only nineteen. When we, mermaids, reached the age of thirty—or fifteen for a human’s age, our looks were not aging anymore as it stopped us from growing old. We always loved music and some mermaids lured men to the sea by their way of singing. It all started when I was fourteen in the human’s age and I had never forgotten him ever since the day I saved him.

“Who’s that girl? Her attack isn’t weak at all!” Fane could not help but frown when he saw this. He did not remember there being such a powerful young woman in the Pavilion of Divinity. Most of their elders were in their forties or fifties. There were even a few women in their sixties and seventies. There were only two to three younger people, but Fane had truly never seen this silhouette before.

"I promise" "Good" She took a deep breath. "So, in the shadows of the human world, lives a group of supernatural creatures called werewolves". She started, and I felt like she was introducing a book to me. "We live among ourselves in groups of a hundred or more called packs" Wait... "There are about 18 packs in the US, I'm assuming one is here" She said, looking around. "We live in human form most of our lives, but we can shift into our wolves once we turn 16. It's painful at first, but it gets painless over time"

- The voice on the other side is deep but it can be heard that his voice is tinged with patience when talking to his son. Wei Zhi Yin frowned as he forgot the Thirty-Ninth Birthday of his twin older siblings. In this world, the maximum that humans can live is more than a thousand years-old, but those humans who can live this long are those humans who practice martial arts and has a strong inner force. The stronger their inner force is, the longer their lifespan is. Now, this Wei Jing Guan is Eighty-Nine Years Old this year already but he still has an appearance in his late thirties. This indicates that he also possessed a strong inner force.

"I realized that I'm still young, so I don't have to rush into marriage," Hayden said. "Why would you think that you are still young, Hayden? Just look at you. Your skin isn't as smooth as before, and you are aging. A human body's aging process speeds up once they are past twenty-five years old, so your body is just going to deteriorate more as the years go by." "Don't try to make me anxious about my age. If I'm growing old, so are you. We are the same age."

His innocence was another thing that was stolen from him thanks to Eve’s schemes to gain power. Angels and demons age differently than most of the other races. Our bodies reach maturity by the age of ten, even though our minds take a little longer to catch up. So at age twelve, Remiel looked much like he does now, maybe a little smaller, either way his physique was that of a grown man. Unfortunately his mind was that of a twelve year old human boy, thus making him easy to manipulate.

Ana was from a pack in Europe and by the time I found her we were both already 68 years old. Our bodies slow down significantly on aging around 25 years old. My parents are 176 and 182 years old, but they look like they are in their early 50’s and they are still in peak physical shape. I’m currently 80 years old, but I look like I’m in my 30’s. The slow aging and long life is really helpful for wolves like me who don’t find their fated mate right away. We still have plenty of time to enjoy life together and have pups.

that was about it. "I would love to..." I mumbled and bit my lower lip. I had no idea what had possessed me to agree to something this crazy. It was not me. I was a shy, prudish girl who was taught to abide by the traditions... but damn it, it was hard, especially when I was beyond being in my prime. I am two thousand five hundred years old, which is about 25 human years. That is considered a spinster in our society...
