in one particular area... its:
"The phoenix and the fallen"
i have the whole mythology of it in my head. way to much to type out right now...
****apparently i ended up typing it anyway
but.
I'm thinking that there will be 2 servants of the two different deities (twins: one girl and one boy) The girl is a servant of the fallen - a minor god cast from his father's side (the major god of the land) for killing the father's favorite son and cursed to wander in a land of never ending darkness (what was then, the world).
the boy servant serves: Feeling for her son, the Mother Goddess (earth goddess) sends a phoenix to him (being made of living light) to keep him company and give him hope.
The two inhumans are treated as gods and worshiped by these mortal people (created by the father god). Jealous that his son was doing so well, the father attempts to take his bride. When seduction fails, he rapes the phoenix.
The Phoenix doesn't tell her husband about the rape, and end up pregnant. At first the Fallen believes it is his, but she is forced to tell of the rape. Enraged the Fallen wishes to kill his father, but the phoenix has other plans. She wishes to abort the baby.
The Fallen refuses, and says he will raise the child as his own, in his compassionate nature he had already come to love the unborn child. If the Phoenix wants her revenge, then she must let him fight his father. This sparks an argument (about control in the relationship, and the freedom of the phoenix).The Fallen basically imprissons his wife to protect the child. When the Father comes down to fight his son, the fallen is defeated. The Phoenix sees and escapes her bonds and flies to him.
In a rage she takes her taloned hand, and cuts open her abdomen where the fetus is, She rips it out, and kills it. Both men grieve. The ground is soaked with blood. With her own blood, she heals the fallen. In his grief the Father god curses the phoenix with madness and Leaves. From the spilled blood of the child, the Raptorem people arise. From the blood of the fallen the Shade people arise. From the Phoenix's spilled blood the Aredns people arised.
Time goes on, the fallen and the phoenix continue life as before although, His love being her hope as her love was his before. But as her madness increased, her powers grew destructive. In order to protect the people of the world from herself, the phoenix, in a final act of love, takes her won life. Once again, in compassion to her son, The Mother Goddess promises her son that The Phoenix would rise again. Determined not to have a physical form until his love, the fallen also takes his own life.
It is said he searches for his love's reincarnation through the eyes of vessels marked with the the very same wings that he himself carries.
plot:
the annual festival of lights is about to start and Vicis's best friend has been chosen to represent the Goddess Phoenix, lady of Fire. Scire looks the part; with blonde hair that looked as if it was made from rays of sun. But in a strange turn of events, Scire can't make it and Vi is made to take her place.
With the sacred feather, said to be from the phoenix's own wings and to possess magic powers,on a chain around her neck, Vi is as nervous as she has ever been in her life. Most girls would be excited to be treated as a goddess for a day, but Vi's instincts say something bad was going to happen.
When the cermeony begins to introduce her as the goddess of the day, a band of pirates attack. The feather is a magic item worth more than any other thing in the kingdom and they were here to steal it. While trying to save the feather, the unthinkable happens - it disappears into her chest. Confused, the pirates kidnap her and take her to their captain. Who it was, was the last person Vi ever expected to see.
