Let's Meet Zoran randomly.

I was writing about him earlier, so let's learn a little about the Sade.

Full Name: Zoran Cyrus Sade
Age: 16
Hair: White, to chin, bangs always in face
Eyes: Lavender, formally the Chaos' red
Height: Probably around 6'1"
Skin color: dark, like a milk chocolate color

Zoran is first seen in RAZEL--the first villain. He is after the Morph Prince (Miles) on behalf of his master, Prince Chaos. However, he kidnaps Shadow instead.

AURELIA goes into more indepth of his personality--namely, about his relationships with his family. Zoran was brought up to believe he was a weakling and would never be as strong as his sister, Zora, who is two years older than him. To top it off, Zoran's father--the Founder Noah--ran away when Zoran was two. He tried to take Zoran with him, but was attacked by Ayla.

As a result, Zoran worked hard to prove himself to his mother and sister. He rose through the ranks to be the Prince's left hand follower--always left, never right.

Then he fought Daniel.

Daniel Stryker fought to avenge his parents deaths, and the two fought in the burning Castle Aurelia. Despite the battle, when Castle Aurelia caught on fire, Daniel was willing to give everything to save a young girl (Kenta) from the flames. Through Daniel's words and actions Zoran finally realized that he was on the wrong side and sacrficed his powers to save Kenta and teleport her to safety. It was then thought Zoran and Daniel perished in the fire.

Followers had saved the two warriors half-dead in Castle Aurelia's rubble and taken them to the famous Lezar Prison in Lezar, hoping to collect information on the Founders (and Saviors). Zoran and Daniel were nursed back to health and kept as prisoners.

Then they met Riley.

Riley was a young, fifteen-year-old servant girl whose job was to bring the prisoners their meal every day. However, she befriended Zoran and Daniel and ultimately helped bust them out of prison. The three of them are now on the run from the Prison keeper, Hiro, and his two assistants, Hara and Riku.

Riley, Daniel, and Zoran's ultimate goal is to find their missing families: Daniel's sisters, Rae and Twilight, Zoran's father Noah, and Riley's twin brother, who was abandoned when he was two years old.

Zoran hopes to "repent from his past wrongs" and do everything he can to make up for his being a former Follower. Formally careless, vain, and self-centered, Zoran has become more kind and caring and thinks before he speaks, making him a direct contrast from Daniel.

Like Daniel, Zoran also retains a scar, although his is from the Castle Fire. Covering his neck, shoulder, and part of his chest and left arm is a giant patch of burned and charred skin from the castle flames. But unlike Daniel, Zoran does not like letting his scar show and wears long-sleeved, high-necked clothing because of it.

MYTH Side Stories

As you know, there are currently six planned stories for MYTH. Each one is considered the original story because it focuses around MYTH--aka the Saviors--and their own problems. These stories are RAZEL, AURELIA, ANIMA, HERA, APOCALYPSE, and SCARGON. Each story, Apocalypse being the exception, is named after a place in Aurora: Razel, MYTH's hometown, Aurelia, the country being ruled by Prince Chaos, Anima, Miles's home country, Hera, Cilver's country, and Scargon, the slave country. Apocalypse's name is due to the fact that the Chaos (namely the Riisus) head to Earth, signaling the 'end of the world' or so to speak.

But I have WAY too many characters to stick in just six stories. Plus, I love them too much. Thus I have "Aurora's Side Stories", where I get a chance to talk about some of the more lesser-knwon characters. None of these stories have actual names yet, nor do they have anything planned out for them. They're just ideas at this moment.

About the Creators (how the Chaos was formed, how Aurora and Earth was seperated) Pre Razel
About the Founders (previous generation--how MYTH escaped to Earth) Pre Razel
Shinji and Senri go after Cilver Between Anima and Hera
Riley's Story Somewhere after Aurelia but before Scargon

WHEN I THINK OF MORE I WILL PUT THEM DOWN

Random Drabble: Char!

See Char's intro and prepare to be amazed.

Char is best described by Crazy: "Char Riisu. He's a freaking laser light show, moron!"

"Who are you?"

"I'm special, Sparky, that's who I am." He grinned, tossing the dagger up and down in an outstretched hand. "A leader, a boss, a general. Speaking of that… you wouldn't have happened to see my soldier, would you?" He held up a hand to about his chin. "About yay high, silver hair, yellow eyes, annoying as he--"

"You aren't taking her."

"Well, that's the attitude you're famous for. 'Bout time you showed that part, Sparky--I've been waiting for it." He grinned, catching the dagger a final time and returning it to the sheath on his forearm. "What would you do to save them? Your sister, your friends… Cilver?"

"Anything."

"Even Cil? The girl you've known for a day, forty-eight hours tops? The girl you don't even know?" Char raised and eyebrow, then laughed. "Ah, that's rich. You don't get it, do you? The fact that Cilver works for me. She's my soldier, my follower, my disciple. Always has been, always will be. That's the way it'll always work."

"You're wrong."

"Y'know what, Sparky? You're the one wrong. Things are funny that way." He laughed once, short and rough. "Ha! You know what they call Cilver back in the Chaos? They call her the Betrayer. Because she'll betray anyone she meets."

"…Who are you?"

"Char Riisu, baby. Pheni and Chaos general extraordinaire. Although Almighty Master will suffice."

MYTH six?

I believe there will probably be 7 stories in MYTH (not counting side-stories) to keep up with the seven-theme.

So far we've had:

Razel
Aurelia
Anima
Hera
Apocalypse

Where MYTH traveled to Aurelia, Anima, and Hera, and had Chaos come to Earth. But there's one place MYTH hasn't been to--

...SCARGON!

The most seperated from all the countries, because the other countries don't like Scargon.

Why? Slavery. Scargon be slave country.

In Scargon, Auroreans are more alike to Humans from Earth--and maintain most of their customs. Currently, this is the slave trade: buying and selling Mortals and Halves. This is the problem Shin and Sen encountered while they were in Scargon, and is why Scargon is so set off from the other countries.

Various people:

Part Uno (Slaves): (Caiah POV)

We start in a normal slave household, with five slaves: Mia, Mortal; Sothe and his daughter Astrid (14), both Centaurs; Rhystian (18), Mortal; and Micaiah (15), Kitsune. After Rhystian is beaten for knowing how to read, Rhys, Caiah, and Astrid run from their 'home' in an effort to escape the slave trade.

Part Dos (Myth): (Ocie POV)
Myth (well, Shade and Ash) seems to still be on bad terms with Shadow; despite this, they return along with Rin and Thane to Razel to see Mint, Cosmo, Athene and the Strykers. Athene sends them to the last part of Aurora Myth hasn't been to--Scargon--for unknown reasons. There they see the Scargon Slave Trade in all it's 'glory'. Their enemies this time is Hara and Riku, who see the "Saviors" potential and decide to give them a little push...

Part Tres (Shinji and Senri): (Shin POV)

Running away from home with Sen at his side, Shin makes it his goal to track down Myth and beg for their help. This doesn't end well--being Halves, they're accidentally bought into the slave trade, rescued by Rhys, Caiah, and Astrid. Shin still has his main goal--find Cilver--and is surprised once he learns how he can finally bring her back to normal.

Part Cuatro (Riley and co., reunion): (Zoran POV)

Riley, Daniel, and Zoran's search for their families point to one place: Scargon. So the three agree to travel there as well, finding MYTH, and reuniting with their families in the process. (Riley and Rin, Twilight and Daniel, Zoran and Noah)

Songs for Apocalypse

My goal of 'chapter' five, Apocalypse, is one word: epic. For these reasons.

1. Cil's evil; Shadow doesn't care.
2. We meet the rest of Char's family- sister Raven and brothers Shinji and Senri.
3. Thane and Rin (and possibly Twilight; undecided) head to Earth school.
4. Char comes to Earth.
5. Shinji turns good, after the events in book 3-and-a-half, Flight.
6. Finally some Zeph and Ari relationship goodness.

Quote that describes the events of Apocalypse perfectly:
"Let's see... Shade is going to kill Shad if Ash doesn't first, Zeph and Mi are kicking the crap out of the guy Ari has a crush on, and Izzy is being... well, Izzy." -Ocie.

'Nuff said.

Most themes will describe different things, some lingering on Shadow and Cilver's nonexistant relationship and Shadow's seperation between the rest of the gang.

"Say This Sooner" by The Almost (Shadow's Theme)

No one will ever see things the way I do
No one will try
All my friends think that I'm gone
But I swear, I swear I'm not...

"The City is at War" by Cobra Starship (theme of Apocalypse)

The city is at a war
Playtime for the young and rich
Ignore me if you see me 'cause I just don't give a s***

The city is at war
Bless the young and rich
With designer drugs and designer friends


"Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers" by Fall Out Boy (for Shadow)

Show me, show me, show me a starry-eyed kid
I, I, I will break his jaw
I won't, I won't, I won't let him get his hopes up
No-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
And I will save him from himself
Here's a picture with a no-note
"Don't turn out like me"
It's only for your own good
No-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

"Hemorrhage" by Fuel (for Shadow)

Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding


"Beautiful Disaster" by Jon McLaughlin (for Ari)

She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster

She just needs someone to take her home

"One Step Closer" by Linkin Park (for Ash)

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

"Time is Running Out" by Muse (for Shadow)

you will be the death of me
you will be the death of me
bury it
I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

"Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance (for the Riisus)

They said all teenagers scare the living s*** out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me

"I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance (for Shadow)

What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems
I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means
To be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look

"Atrophy" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (for Cilver)

They've sold you
everything you need to fix you up
and you feel good now but you can't wake up
they found a way to reassure you that everything would be okay
reach out today now I emplore you to
remember who you are

"The End" by Simple Plan

Don't, don't let me go
It's not the end, whoa
Girl you know it's not so bad
It's not the end, whoa
No it's not the end

"Heart of Glass" by Skye Sweetnam (for Shadow and Ari)

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

"Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace (for Shinji)

I can't escape myself
So many times i've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

"Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon (for Ari on the ZephAriElias triangle)

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you

That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

Songs for Hera

Hera's POV switches from Myth to "Birdgirl" Cilver Riisu on the run from her Chaos future. It finally gives us a chance to learn about the Chaos, shows us the disaster in Anima, rejoin with Thane and Rin, meet our rivals the Riisus (well just Char and Cil), and, above all, watch Shadow kick the crap out of Ash.

Because Shadow joins the Chaos.

"Miss Murder" by AFI (for Shadow)

Hey Miss Murder, can I
Hey Miss Murder, can I
Make beauty stay if I take my life?

"Misery" by Good Charlotte (Daniel's theme -_-)

Don't you know that misery loves company
Yeah I heard, that misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah I heard, that misery comes looking for me


"The River" by Good Charlotte (for Cilver; main theme of Hera)

Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered

In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son

I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home

Baptized in the river
I'm delivered

"By Myself" by Linkin Park (Rin's theme; for Shadow)

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

"Given Up" by Linkin Park (for Shadow)

I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away

I'm suffocating
Tell me what the f*** is wrong

With me

"Frgt/10 (reanimation)" by Linkin Park (for Shadow)

In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

"We Are Broken" by Paramore

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

"False Pretense" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense

"Get Out Alive" by Three Days Grace (theme of the Chaos)

If I stay it won't be long
Till I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If you want to get out alive
Run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Hold on for

"Riot" by Three Days Grace

If you feel so filthy
So dirty so f***ed up
If you feel so walked on
So painful so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up


"Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down (for Shadow)

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There a-holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Themes for Anima

"Anima is my favorite of Myth for a couple of reasons.

1. We got the Prince out of the way, so Myth gets to explore.
2. It introduces my favorite pair of characters, Thane "Prince Brat" Prowl and Rin "Bodyguard" Koga.
3. It's centered around Miles, instead of Shadow (Razel) and Shade (Aurelia)

So a lot of the songs revolve around Miles's personality. The rest show the cocky side of Myth's attitude after they're heroes, defeating the Prince and finding Bridget.

"Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy (an old theme for Myth)

Dance, Dance
We're falling apart to half time
Dance, Dance
And these are the lives you'd love to lead

Dance, this is the way they'd love
If they knew how misery loved me


"Out of Control" by Hoobastank (for Thane)

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't knowIf I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me


"Bleed it Out" by Linkin Park (old theme for Myth)

Yeah here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my f***ing mind


"Ppr:Kut (reanimation)" by Linkin Park (the original Papercut is Miles's theme)

Now it feels like my back’s against the wall
I’m taking the fall
Whenever I call nobody’s responding at all
But I don’t know who I can trust

The screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the frame


"Krwlng (reanimation)" by Linkin Park (for Miles)

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting
How I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in


"Everything is Alright" by Motion City Soundtrack (for everyone else in Myth, basically)

Tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright. (Everything's fine)
Oh please tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright.

"Emergency" by Paramore (for Miles)

I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserve to be alive, alive


"Fences" by Paramore (for Thane, I think. I forget)

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying
Just living proof that the camera's lying
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night

So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style

"Second to None" by Styles of Beyond

It's the real authentic
Leave ya'll dented
Forget what ya heard If I said it, I meant it
Did it for real
While ya'll pretended
Back for more
Startin' the war to end it


"One X" by Three Days Grace

We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one
We are the ones
We get knocked down
We get back up and stand above the crowd
We are one


"Scared" by Three Days Grace (for Miles)

So real these voices in my head
When it comes back you won’t be
Scared and lonely
You won’t be scared, you won’t be
You won’t be scared and lonely
You won’t be scared you won’t be lonely
