Writing Mythology Novels & Stories

“Your soul has been split into four parts. His soul was split so he would never have a pack following him. Of course, that was the idea. Magic and werewolves always seem to have a way around these annoying little rules, much like the moon goddess found her own way. "How did she find her way?" I ask. “Well, she needed to be in exile too and have her own punishment to escape,” he replies. I feel like my whole life has been a lie, every class I've taken in school, every book I've read in the Ravensword pack are nothing but lies, and they've been told to me for so many years. “The exiled gods made the werewolves. “I never knew that. It wasn't what they taught you in school,” I reply.

It was about how technology—social media platforms, forums, and even memes—had changed how myths and folklore were disseminated. How these once remote and isolated stories had become global narratives, and what that meant for the ideas they contained. I felt a smile cross my face. The topic was oddly fitting, considering the recent intersection of Lexi's academic research and her unwitting entanglement in a world that was the epitome of living folklore—my world.

she shrugged. “I guess that is an interesting thing,” I nodded. “Do all kids her age know this type of stuff?” I asked, looking at Logan on my left. “Not really. Just Hana. She found some mythology books in my father's library when she was five and read them with as much fever as she does fairy tales,” he shrugged. “Mythology is just older fairy tales. They are interesting. And well, I mean, I’m being raised by werewolves. So unlike most humans, I know magic is real. So it’s fun to read and wonder what’s real and what’s fake,” Hana shrugged.

Instead, because rationality had been quietly losing ground for days, I heard myself say, “Folklore.” Judith’s brows rose just slightly. “Local?” “And… broader.” I tried to sound casual. “Wolf myths. Shape shifter stories. That sort of thing.” Judith did not laugh. That, somehow, was worse. She only nodded and came around the desk. “Back left corner. Mythology, regional legends, comparative folklore. We also have some fiction if you want the less academic versions.” Less academic versions. Like I was shopping for bedtime stories instead of trying to decide whether my life had cracked open into impossibility.

Some parts were written in a language she didn’t recognise—but somehow… She could understand it, not perfectly and not everything, but enough as it spoke of beginnings, of creation, of power and of her. Zoe’s breath would catch every time she turned a page. Stories of the Moon Goddess creating wolves, stories of balance between light and darkness and then, there was something else, buried deep in the book, a warning, a legend and about a being born not of one ... but of many.

It was beating wildly in my chest. My dad took another deep breath before he started speaking again. “Lycans and werewolves are two mythological creatures that have been around for centuries. They have unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses, but they both share the same origin story: the moon goddess created them to rule beside humans.” He paused and looked at me to make sure I was following his story. I nodded, my mind spinning with this new information. His words mesmerized me—it all seemed so impossible, yet somehow, I felt an odd connection to the stories he was telling me.

I roamed my big doe eyes across the dark surroundings yet I can not find anything strange except for the disarrayed arrangement of books on the gigantic shelves. I just shrugged and continued reading the page where I last off. It further elaborated that some of such tales give a story behind the meaning of suffering, others may be conceptual or theoretical various explanations of human origins such as how life was created and how the earth was formed. It expresses the beliefs and values about these subjects held by a certain culture from all around the world. All in all, there are millions of myths existing from different races and from different countries that tell the stories of ancestors

"How did you come up with your tale and characters, Ishaan?" "I've been interested in a variety of things, including superheroes. I had read several fantasy books, for example." "If you don't mind," I continued, "I have an idea." "Of course, go ahead." "Why don't you use Hindu mythology's characters and storylines? Our myths are so fascinating that they would create a fantastic fantasy-based game. You can obtain diversity, all types of heroes, monsters, and villains, whatever you want, and our myths are so intriguing that they would make an excellent fantasy-based game. People would also relate to them far better than they would to fictional characters."

“You started it? I don’t understand. Why? How?” “About a thousand years ago, I had started to grow wary of being a vampire and being immortal. That’s when I started looking for ways to undo it. I traveled far and wide and talked to loads of people. Finally, I realized what are the things that I might need to even begin to think about starting the process. I got to know that the book and stone are with the werewolves somewhere, and the witch and the binder lineages are all lost with no accurate records. So I thought, why not send a hoard of people looking for it? As the werewolves already had two things, I created the myth of how this incarnation ritual thing would make them all-powerful. Eve

"Each of the realms have a portal almost inaccessible, but most creatures of the realm ended up unlocking it and moving to other realms. Like human world and the myth world. When the humans discovered we were beast they hunted us down till we returned to our realm, having mated with their daughters and sons, creatures like us were created and the populate your world till today. Or maybe just by a bite or scratch. Those are fake, the real mythical creatures are right in this realm! You must be wondering about the other portals and the other creatures huh?" Ethan quickly nodded as he took note. "Inside the mythic realm we don't have planets but portals, these portals are a sort of planet or co
