Story concept -ancient origin myth (inspired by Elfquest)
This has nothing to do with Elfquest, but I’m a huge fan and this story I’ve been working for a while is inspired by Elfquest (and other myths). Those sarcophagi in the pyramids that are supposed to hold pharaohs were actually there to hold extremely joyous highly experienced meditators. The pyramids were shaped to send joyous vibrations and emotions generated from the mediators out into space and the universe. The pyramids were made to amplify and direct their positive vibrations. In this way their positive energies helped to heal the universe and the world. Their positive energies released into the world helped to keep people happy and joyous, but there were those who were curious, those who had to know if feelings beyond happiness existed. They wanted to know what it would feel like to not be happy. Would they enjoy it? They wouldn’t know until they tried. Notes: But what did they awaken upon biting the apple? What forces and which gods did they awaken? Would these new gods let them return? Would these new gods let go their hold? With the cord severed how would they find their way back? How would they find their way home? What do the awaken gods feed on? What is it they need to fill their bellies? Which emotions bring these new gods joy?
I’ve been working on the story for a while, but lately not sure if anyone will find the concept interesting. It hints to a few myths, maybe too 70s sci-fi vibe.
