Hello all,
I have taken some time to consider just what makes fiction different from other types of literature. More often than not it's the interaction with mankind and that of our own myths. So the question that remained for me was, just how would I bridge that gap and connect mankind and myth with one another in The Spirit Seeker Series . In taking that time I have come to the conclusion of explaining it this way. The creator, He, or Him, for the purpose over shielding my future readers from any true nature of an ultimate being for now, had first created the fays. The fays, and other mythical beasts were called the ancient, as they were the first life in the world, made unique and purposely not in the image of Him. They lived in the world, free from death, pain, war, and illness. They were all immortal, as there was no reason to snuff out their lives and they gave the creator much pleasure. After some time, He grew wary and wanted to create something new. Being a merciful creator, he put all of his beloved ancients in a deep sleep and hid them behind The Curtain of Time. Here they would not age or dwindle and would be there for when he wished to release them again. Among the ancients were the demos of darkness, fire and destruction. One would naturally see them as evil but keep in mind that the ancients did not deal in good or bad, white or black. They were truly neutral in all manner of their creation. The intention of the demos was to rule over all the world despite the creator. When the time came for the curtain to fall, the demos positioned themselves just behind it in the hopes that they would one day be released and set loose upon the world again.
This separation of man and the ancients drew the belief of them as myth to the human world. Created after the ancients, this time in the fashion of Him, they knew of the ancients. Relics, and messages left behind gave clues to these beings and myths spread throughout the world of dragons, and griffons, elves, and fairies. Many creatures that have never been seen. It is this drive for man to find these beings whick causes the bridge of man and myth to be crossed. Through ages of attempts, will man and myth finally meet? Can the curtain of time be penetrated by His most humble creation, a mortal man? Some things to consider, in order to see the world through Griffan's eyes, are that, in his world, there are no such things as magic and mystical creatures. The men of authority have worked arduously to strike down any talk of mystical beasts and fantastical fancies. Let us hope that for the sake of fiction, we may draw back the veil for, at least, a peek as to what lies on the other side, and within our imaginations.
Take Care.
