I don’t know how
often I’ll do these personal updates but this is my time to talk with all of
you. I enjoy writing about Norwegian Mythology and Chinese mythology. Since
this is a story about learning and not for the sheer fun of storytelling I want
to know where you guys want me to go. Most of you are silent and that’s fine
with me but I would also like some feedback. There are some chapters I don’t
like at the beginning. I’m contemplating whether I should write a more story
version of this on Wattpad, where I usually write poetry. There are hardly any
stories on there.
What I’m curious is
about the information. I recently bought a couple of books. Two are about
dragons, one is a story and the other is about drawings and paints. The other
is about Angels and lastly, about ‘lost symbols’ it looked interesting but I’m
not sure where I’ll go with it.
I’d like to talk to
any of you if you have the chance. I have a kik and if I don’t answer right
away don’t be alarmed. I also have a skype depending on what you prefer but
please, if you want to talk about dragons or mythical creatures kik me, skype
me, message me, or email me.

As you guys know
this blog isn’t only about dragons. It’s about the other mythologies as well.
As much fun as I have writing the Percy Jackson Fanfiction I know it’s not as
nearly as popular as Revelation of Dragons. I want to know your thoughts and
any suggestions that you might want to add to the blog! For those of you who
may or may not know this blog was brought to action by Dragon Dungeon on
tumblr.
My quest is to teach
people about dragons and mythology, how all around the world they have their
similarities. This journey has also lead me to a path that I turn away from
more often than not. To read the Bible. The only real chapter I read in the
bible was Proverbs and that was because my Sunday school teacher showed me how
it helped her but it didn’t reach out to me the same. Today, I ran into a guy
named Joseph Houston. I may or may not ever meet this man again but I will say
I’m glad that I met him.
He spoke to be about
the book of Job and how he was only his own personal journey figuring out what
was true and what was not. It amazed him that he found the zodiac, celtic mythology,
the bible, and much more mentioning similar aspects and ideas. I told them that
they all connect. Somewhere, whether it be on the surface or deep within,
mythology and religion will run on parallel paths at one point and that made
him happy.
I know that most of
the plot line with Mikey (the Wyvern) is about the different creations in Nose
mythology but that’s because I’m basing his story line off a stack of books I
received from a friend that I wish I could speak to again but I have an inner
fear that doesn’t allow me to. There is another book that mentions a Celtic
tail and I’m planning on writing that in as well.
Jack’s Shadow is
still unclear to me. I don’t know how to describe this dream like encounter. I
don’t know who spoke to me about it and I might be able to find out. There is
one person who crosses my mind now. But in order to catch him I’ll have to go
to Hastings early on a Tuesday I believe.
Xeq’s plotline is
more along the lines of the Chinese Culture although his appearance is based
more off of Blues White Dragon off of yu gi oh. There’s an Egyptian stand point
in that show but I’ll have to look deeper than playing with cards and remember
the show content.
Gwyne is a mystery
to me. At first I wanted to mention her as a person of the Zodiac but now I’m
wondering if if she should truly be human and not some sort of mythic legend. I
don’t want her to be a Goddess. But I do want to do something with her. She’s
already a brink in Flint and Vile’ relationship. I won’t mention everything
about Flint because that contains spoilers for those of you who haven’t read
the second section of Revelation of Dragons. Overall, my thought was for Gywne
to get interested in mythology. Maybe she’ll get suspicious or see Vile turn
into a dragon again. Maybe that encounter at the beginning made her second
guess that she knew everything about Vile or Flint. Like I said, I’m not
entirely sure where I’m going with her but she needs to make a good appearance
because having here there solely to tear apart those two characters makes her
boring in my opinion.
Luis and Flint will
interact though. That’s one event that will come to terms in the story. I’m
thinking that Flint, Luis, and Vile will go at it at one point. But I know
where I’m going with Flint and Luis. At last, for now.
Luckily, having
Zamer as a Phoenix worked out real well for speculation. All I wanted to do was
get Xeq to have a girlfriend but making her a phoenix or in this case, the
phoenix of the world at this time has proven its advantages. I’ve always like
the phoenix it’s more of a favorite for a cousin of mine rather than my own but
it worked out well so I’m happy.
One pair of
characters I’m wondering about is Xeq and Vile’s parents. You all know of Vile’s
true past now and if you haven’t read that far it’s alright for me to mention it
since it’s not too much detail. But Xeq’s real parents. I’ve only mentioned
them here and there. I need them now. I believe they’d make a good story
element and one that could help me with Luis and Flint maybe even Gywne.
There’s a time where
I mention where Vile first looses himself, at his ex-girlfriend’s house when
she’s cheating. I’m wondering if I should add in another scene where they meet
up again but I’m not sure. All I want to do really is talk about dragons to
someone or even mythic creatures in general. I’d be okay with mythology in
general.
Are the gods more
interesting? Or do you guys want to hear more about other mythical creatures? I
hope you guys do realize this means I have to mention unicorns, fairies,
trolls, orcs, leprechauns, angels, demons, and even the chupacabra. I’m
planning on covering everything and if I don’t? That’ll be fine. I didn’t plan
on making this a book because it uses the sources around the internet and even
though they’re my interpretation it’s technically plagiarism so I’d have to
source each website and even though I show you guys the links of what I read
and what I don’t it’s still a hassle.
Please everyone,
shoot me an email of a documentary, a website, a video, or a name of a book
that you believe would be useful in this research. Even if it’s one it’ll help.
I have a friend who has made me appreciate werewolves. After Twilight came out
I sort of stepped away from Vampires and werewolves but they are popular so I’ll
put them in somewhere. Supernatural has given me more appreciation for Angels
especially Arch Angels.
Demons are demons.
They’ll always be a story element but I’d like to venture out. I’m one guy and
even though there are many novels that I have been exposed to since asking my
fans to help me collect those I am stick on the lack of resources for mythology
in general. So for those of you who have either read a novel that’s about
dragons, or know of a website that may help please tell me. I’d like to interact
with you all. Even though I don’t like writing for the sake of other people to
like the story but for myself to enjoy writing I still need to know what else I
can do to improve what I can.
I’ve watched to add
in a Chimera as well. In a story there must be conflict and the main conflict
that brought this story together was the lack of knowledge but now I’m making
it more than about that. Oh! I also bought a book about Atlantis so I may or
may not write something about it again. You see, I want to write about the
Burmuda Triangle—legends! I don’t want to only writing about mythology but
about myths as well like, well, Big Foot. I’m not too keen on him but he’s
still a myth so it’d be nice to bring him into the mix.
Cerberus (Hell
hounds) are a factor I want to bring in as well. I’m written half of the Percy
Jackson Fan fiction and I’m hoping that I can finish it within 52 weeks if not,
I’ll split it into two parts. The way I’m writing Revelations of Dragons has
gotten to me. I realized that the first 26 weeks I wrote were all based off of
who I wanted to write about when I wanted to write about them but for 2015 I’ve
come to more a reasonable way to write.
It works within
time. At the moment I’m on week fourteen. I know you all want to read it as I
update but I work better on certain days at certain times writing a bulk of ‘weeks’/chapters
at a time. Besides, school is about to start and I’m hoping it won’t slow me
down but to no avail it most likely will.
At the moment I have
the option of writing about Mikey and another day as another adventure. His plotline
works by the day so 365 adventures of some kind is the way his plot lint works.
As of right now, Xeq is in China and he’s learning about the culture. There’s
only two days for him so I can switch between the two, get Xeq to meet back up
with Mikey, review somewhat, and then it’s back to Vile, Flint, and Gywne.
Then. I won’t tell you all the plan but then Zamer will return and so will
Luis.
I had a couple of
one shots on here as well. There’s one based off a drawing a friend drew. It
was about the tower in the center of the drawing honestly. Nothing more. But it’s
called the tower of Babel and I’m wondering if I should bring in the bible to
any of this.
Religion and
mythology inner twine. You have Buddhism in China, India, and a few more places
but they escape my mind. I have a book about the Pentecostal but even then I
know two different types of Pentecostal so there’s the confusion in that. This
is more about mythology but I can’t break away from that. As I said to Joseph,
Mythology and Religion go hand and hand so I can’t simply shove it off as if it’s
a nuisance.
Here’s a few more
facts about me. I grew up in a Christian home but with a Filipino culture that
clashed with my American culture. I appreciate my family for what they taught
me. Not to follow in their footsteps. But in the Philippines going to multiple
churches wasn’t uncommon in my family. Here in America it can really mess up
your view. Which is okay. I want all of you to know I’m not here to speak
against religion. Practice what you believe but don’t shove it down anyone else’s
throats. Teach do not force.
No one will learn if
they’re not interested. In order for something to be grasped there must be an
interest. There must. Otherwise it’ll go in one ear and out the other. I’m here
to teach all of you about what I learn and share it. All I hope is that at
least one of you learns something from me before I pass. (Not that I’m going to
any time soon because I’m eighteen) but that as long as one of you learns from
me only one. Then I’ve done my part in this world. I’m planning on keeping this
around two thousand words that way I’m not writing you guys another story. ^^
Good bye for now and as I said please contact me, I’d love to talk to you about
ideas, religion, or mythology. Ask me anything. I will answer.
