Thank you! I was going for a tragic-but-beautiful vibe. XD
Most of the Gods' names were created by taking real names and improvising them to seem otherworldly. I don't remember where Pyc and Aero came from, but Acrystola was originally Alyssa and Jindovan is a combination of Jin and Donovan which have 'white' and 'black' meanings respectively. Jularian is a play off of Julius, for obvious reasons lol. Hala, Zain, Aleksandr, Morgaine, and Kaly are all real names, and Rahlei is just me messing around with the spelling of Raleigh. Lir was based off of Loki/Ludo. Biota is actually the abreviated name of a Glee episode (Blame It On The Alcohol), because I have no life and I thought it sounded cool. Bel was off of the bell, the instrument. Thoe was inspired by Avatar: The Last Airbender's Twi and La. I got Myrkira by running through various animals and changing around the words (I used meerkat). Fhirinne is a literal translation of 'truth' into Irish. Yeah, they come from everywhere. Lol.
Thank you! But I'm not out of the woods yet. I still have to name all of my humans! Lol.
Actually, you could help me out on the last three Gods to be named. There's a poll on my journal entry "Actualizar el Numero Dos". If you wanted to be super mega awesome and stuff. ;)
I liked it. I like the way you describe her. It would have been great if you gave us a little more about Pyc, as well. I think it would all mesh nicely then. :) bitexmarks
I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you liked her. I'm also going to be doing one on sunrise. These two little snippets are focused on her, from his point of view. Hopefuly the perspective will let you get to know him a little bit too, but he's not the focus.
I do have a lot more about him, and this bit isn't going into the actual book, it's just some character development. He's a main character in the plotline of the novel-to-be, and she's not, so... Lol. I'm thinking about posting a cut of his first scene in the book (also from his point of view) as soon as I get the section finished; his mood regarding the movements of the sun is extremely different than his usual demeanor, so the contrast might be interesting. *shrug*
