THE ETERNAL SCAR FANTASY UNIVERSE
A Recap...
INTRODUCTION
The fantasy story universe of the Eternal Scar was born 20 years ago. After the death of my child Joshua Isaac, I decided to confront the complex emotions of that moment of grieving through my lifelong love of fantasy stories. After writing many books and even pitching these stories in front of several Hollywood production companies, I decided to share my Eternal Scar fantasy serial saga on Substack for you, my wonderful subscribers.
I’ve only been on Substack for about four months but I’ve enjoyed sharing Chronicles of The Tale-Keeper, the first series of Eternal Scar. COTK is one perspective of this vast fantasy universe. It has a specific emphasis on the mythological origins (Cosmic Mythos) of my story universe as well as the opening romantic saga known as, “The Legend of Mother-Wind.”
COSMIC MYTHOS SUMMARY
So far, the Cosmic Mythos has served as the foundation that delves into Eternal Scar’s universal creation myth. It is teeming with ancient gods and the cataclysmic events leading up to the creation of the world of Zailar. In this first book, we established the chief pillars of this story universe with our three main characters… Eloria, known as Mother-Wind, Deralius, Lord of The Ever-Night, and Zulion, Lord of The Flame.
In the beginning, we also introduced the cosmic mythical deities; Aethern The Ancient, The Lord of Eternity (also known as The Great Tree), and Anutherlyoth (also known as Mother-Light).
The cosmic gods of eternity and time gave birth to The Children of The Flame.
Deralius and Zulion were born…
After a deep disagreement between Eternity (Aethern The Ancient) and Time (Mother-Light), a rift split the realms of time and eternity apart, creating the portal of the Eternal Scar. The divorce between eternity and time was felt throughout the ages, and since then, these two mythical entities have never reconciled.
After many ages, the Eternal Scar devolved into an interdimensional portal of great galactic power, holding both elements of time and eternity but also a growing prism of worlds, galaxies, alternate parallel realities, and even the dark matter of the universe, a mysterious entity known as The Ever-Night. Imprisoned in the physical form of The Black Chain, the enslaving power of The Ever-Night took hold of the Eternal Scar, poisoning it and corrupting any being that dared to enter into it.
In the Cosmic Mythos, Episode 3, Deralius leads The Children of The Flame astray, bringing them far too close to the Eternal Scar. Millions of the StarSeeds, his brothers and sisters, were corrupted by the power of The Ever-Night, eventually dying.
Deralius survived. Zulion refused his brother’s deception, remaining close to Mother-Light. Deralius, cursed forever as the Star-Slayer, was sentenced to the prison of the Eternal Scar… the portal between eternity and time.
Eloria, a servant of Mother-Light, is ordered to send Deralius to his fate, but during their travels to this dark galactic prison, Eloria, the Goddess of Gale, shows Deralius her physical form, and instantly he fell in love. After saving her life from the vile hold of The Black Chain, Deralius is dragged into the Eternal Scar but not before Eloria promises to wait for him should he escape.
THE LEGEND OF MOTHER-WIND
After many millions of years, Deralius escapes from the Eternal Scar and vows to find Eloria. Following her intoxicating magical scent, he finds her in a new world created by his hated older brother, Zulion… the world of Zailar.
After a thousand years of searching in various physical incarnations, subverting Zulion’s power of The Flame in many ways, Deralius finally finds his forlorn love. There is one problem: Eloria (now in mortal form) does not remember Deralius or even herself.
Who can unlock the ancient mystery of Eloria and the Tale of All Tales, The Legend of The Eternal Scar?
The Legend of Mother-Wind, the first book of The Sacred Tale-Keeper, Yuedhra Ever-Wind, focuses on the love triangle between Eloria, Deralius, and Zulion, and the mysterious events leading up to the The Legend of The Eternal Scar and the doom of all dooms, The Rise of The Ever-Night.
