MYTH OF THE KING

The prophecy of the Fifth Age is upon the world of Songhaia. Most in the Science Society do not believe in old myth and stories anymore. The Wizard Habenzy seeks the Kesia, an object of myth. Dayan is a young boy who has never left his village. Dayan leaves the safety of the Kisibari Mountain Valley to join the Wizard's Questband. They are hunted as they search by the Preeminent's Right Hand. To succeed they must trust in the Iwe, they must trust in their destiny. The armies of the Preeminent prepare. The Allied City-States prepare. All of Songhaia prepares for war and the next Age.

Deities of African Mythology discuss The Aeneid (Virgil)

INT. COZY ROOM – DAY The room is filled with deities of African mythology. There is a table with a teapot, tea cups, and cakes. The deities are engaged in a lively discussion about “The Aeneid” by Virgil. They argue, banter, and laugh, sometimes heatedly. There is a lot of humor and grumpiness too. ANANSI, the trickster god, sits at the head of the table, a mischievous twinkle in his…

Summer Washington Will Save This World! (on Wattpad) https://www.wattpad.com/story/311154665-summer-washington-will-save-this-world?utm_source=web&utm_medium=tumblr&utm_content=share_myworks&wp_uname=KalariGXC&wp_originator=yYBCwio281Z%2BaKeZT06HBRSynE0eFn%2B4bVzIOj38Whg4379ULJlKOpu5UHA86mvroXhV8dthGamTVSeoX66kiqxvcVHuhwVEpBhtBAez2jmsjS7EsDxm0bbt0f2o5s2l An Average Gamer in an above average situation, Summer Washington was a typical Blerd into gaming, anime and cute stuff, but kept a serious head and demeanor most of the time. What happens when she is pulled into the mystical world of the game she normally noob'ed her way through? And why is she the only being who can save it from its impending doom? This is an ongoing Isekai style story with African Mythology and Fantasy.

Anansi, in the form of spider, once decided to hoard the entire world’s wisdom in a pot for himself. When he succeeded, he attempted to hide the pot at the top of a tree where nobody could find it. He tied the pot in front of him and tried to climb the tree, but kept sliding and losing his grip. His son, who had followed him, suggested he tie the pot to his back so he could climb more easily. When Anansi tried to implement his son’s suggestion, the pot slipped and fell to the ground. The wisdom fell out and a sudden rainstorm washed it into the river and from there to the waters of the ocean, so that everyone in the world now owns a little bit of it. #mecthology #myth #africa #africanmythology #anansi #spider #trickster #wisdom #wow #mythology #follow #arachnid #god #trickstergod #facts #stories #legends https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ncyFDD1e3/?utm_medium=tumblr

A week or so back, I wanted to share this piece of art I did, but I'm glad I didn't. @Gregdae has created a wonderful character, inspired by #Anansi of African folklore, named #Isnana, and I was inspired to draw him for my #sixfanarts challenge. Now, Greg has a new #kickstarter featuring #IsnanatheWereSpider in his 4 self titled book! You can find it on kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/isnanashowtime/isnana-the-were-spider-showtime?ref=project_link and enjoy a brand new story about this amazing hero! Support indie characters, indie creators, Black creators, and Black characters! . . . By the way, most of the comic characters are European American inspired, so I was inspired here to draw another Black men. Other cultures need representation and deserve the spotlight, shine the light man! . . . #blacklivesmatter #blackstoriesmatter #blackheroes #blacksuperheroes #blackherosmatter #africanmythology #comic #comics #comicbooks #comicbookcharacters #blackmen #blackmalecharacters #independentcomics #indiecomics #selfpublished #selfpublishedcomics #selfpublishing #kickstarter #kickastartercampaign #fanart #art #drawing #representation #diversity #wearemainstream #JavierCruzWinnik https://www.instagram.com/p/CEp8W25leig/?igshid=83zyf5dnsq05

Day 8- Rompo The Rompo is a mythical creature originating from the legends of India and Africa. They are said to have long, skeletal bodies, the head of a hare, human ears, the front arms of a badger and the rear legs of a bear. Some believe the creatures to have quills as well. The creature is believed to be nocturnal, secretive and feeds on human corpses. It is also said to croon softly as it eats #rompo #mythicalcreatures #folkloreandfairytales #custombysophy #indiamythology #africanmythology https://www.instagram.com/p/B67za4JArur/?igshid=zegkkmv0ea4n
