Working on a series and can't decide...

I'm working on a ficitional series involving werewolves and witches. At one point in the series it will be revealed that the connection of 3 of my characters will go deep into the medieval era where there were four major races fighting a supernatural war. Three of those four races are the werewolf race, the vampire race, and the basilisk race, with the fourth race being a key factor in the war. Fast foward into the series current time era, three of these four races still exsists today, the werewolves, the vampires, and the remaining race being the "key" race of the ancient war. I've narrowed my choices down to two possible races, each with different origins and characters. This is where I need some opinions. Should the remaining race be a race of "Psychics", people with a sixth sense that allows them to unleash kinetic abilities, or "Witches", men and women who can alter reality to cast "spells"?

Psychics
Witches

Help is needed and appreciated

Please don't post if you're not going to help.

I always find it weird when people come on here and ask for help on this sort of thing. Don't you have your own vision for this thing? Wouldn't you prefer it remain authentically yours?

MOst of the greatest works of literature borrowed/stole the ideas of others.

Did they go on an Internet message board and ASK for ideas as loaners?

No, they went out like good hard working Americans and stole from black and white films, then labelled it a homage. A HOMAGE.

That's the kind of blatant idea theft that's good for this country.

You make it sound as if I'm asking for a plot or a script. All I need is help deciding what should be the fourth supernatural race. Geez...

I understand that you are not looking for people to develop your plot or the individuals within your story... but these details, which surround and give richness to your story, should be made up by you. I think you should just think long and hard, you'll come up with something in time. I know with the material that I write I don't go asking people how I should procede, even if it is some little detail to the backstory.
