Sumerian Stories

The characters dramatize important historical events such as the invention of the alphabet, the first laws, the concept of ethics and morals, right and wrong, democracy, the rise of kings, commerce and how its surplus generated wealth, incited revolutions and shaped our world. The proposal is to stimulate the students' imagination through the staging of some of the most important human events. Everything that was once the present and in whose present time it is rooted. The dialogues are divided into thirteen acts, portraying a specific time and region. The acts are organized in a sequence of detailed plays that dramatize the origin of our customs or events that led us to important historical processes and their consequences.

A Sumerian portal device is unearthed in southern Iraq. No one knows how the ancients achieved such technology, or whether they found the gods on the other side of the universe. But one thing is clear: the world is ending, and the device may be humanity's last chance of surviving.

Before the written word was carved into bark, before the first law bound the living to its shape, there were songs that spoke the world into being. The Lost Tales of Eäréda gathers these elder myths-echoes from the time when forests breathed language and rivers remembered their names. Drawn from the mythopoetic landscape of the Eärédan world, these tales recount the making and unmaking of the Garden: the fall of Enlil and Ninlil, the forging of the Green Tongue, the birth of Gaula the Preserver, and the long sorrow of Lilith the Runechild, whose hand carved the first letters into living wood. Across each story moves the pulse of the earth itself-its grief, its grace, and its unbroken vow to rise again. In luminous prose that fuses scripture, dream, and ecology, Yāreḏ the Descensor restores the ancient cosmology of Gaea-a realm where every tree holds memory, every wind bears a message, and the divine and the mortal speak through root and star alike. The Lost Tales of Eäréda is not merely a book of myths; it is a resurrection of wonder-a testament to the earth's forgotten voice and to the power of language to heal what time has scattered.

At first light over Nämmú, Gaula slips past the gentle ropes of rite and household, carrying only an ash staff, a coil of bread and pears, and the ember that burns in her chest. Drawn north by Anki's hidden pull and the old vow-"Let the Garden speak again"-she walks into the spare country of black spruce and ice, reading frost like scripture and sky like leaf. Wing-shadow answers her prayer: Märu, elder guardian of the Weald, leads her to a rock-ringed basin and a darkness shaped by patience-the threshold of the Boreal Vault. Within waits the uncorrupted body of Ninti, Mother of the Living, preserved on evergreen boughs since the night Lilith, the Runechild, carved silence into the world. Kneeling between awe and unworthiness, Gaula gives herself as conduit, letting the Elar flame travel through her hands while the Green Tongue rises like a remembered lullaby. Roots glow, the frozen river breaks into living light, and breath returns-first to Ninti, then to the Garden itself. Blossoms open out of season, desert seeds stir, and old waters murmur again as remembrance overcomes the Great Forgetting. Trembling with cost and consequence, Gaula and the newly risen Ninti stand at the hinge of fate: love has defied law, witness has unbound a lie, and the world has shivered toward reflowering. A tale of pilgrimage and resurrection, of memory stronger than murder, this chapter of the Eärédan Mythos threads oath, flame, and wing into a single vow: the Garden will speak again-and be heard.

Gods have ruled over man for as long as history was recorded. Their power absolute. Their authority final. But if they are truly omnipotent, why do they fear Serpents? If they are truly omniscient, then why guard their secrets so closely. Serpents, those who dare bite at the heels of the gods. Those that would steal their divine knowledge and give it to man, have learned the one secret that causes fear to stab into the hearts of the divine. When man has the knowledge of the gods, there are no gods.

Gilgamesh is the oldest epic poem. I took the charcters and the events and wrote my own interpretation. This could be called fan fiction in a way. The Ancient Akkadians and Sumerians own the epic I do not.

Max, Kevin, Alice, Jack, and Piper (your favorite demigod and god-defeating team) are back in this second book in their series. Watcher has fled faraway, where he is gathering some new allies, monsters from the deepest darkest stories of mankind...which means new threats for the team and new world-destroying enemies. Worse, someone very important's been captured, and they're going to have to save that unknown persona, along with destablize a booming slave empire, figure out the purpose of some strange new magical device, and deal with the awful threat of Watcher and his terrifying Huntsman friend...all of which means more action, more mystery, more suspense, and of course, more romance. You can rejoin the heroes again on this epic tale!

Beneath the roots of the world, two sisters meet in the hush of the Garden that remembers everything. Gaula, the orchard-keeper, prays to the living wood that still sings in syllables of sap. Lilith, the Runechild, steps from the shadow she herself created-hands wrapped in bandages, voice sharpened by centuries of revolt. Between them lies all that has been broken: the Green Tongue turned to rune, the Mother of the Living slain, the covenant of leaf and breath undone. Destinies of the Dyad chronicles a long reconciliation-the mythic dialogue of the sisters who made and unmade the world. Across forests, rivers, towers, and ruins, Gaula and Lilith contend in words that wound and heal, love and indictment braided in every line. Through their encounters-root and shadow, river and fire, tower and sea-the reader witnesses the long fracture of creation: the transformation of speech into law, of rebellion into empire, of grief into endurance. In prose as luminous as scripture and as intimate as confession, Destinies inaugurates The Broken Voice Cycle of the Eärédan Mythos: a sequence of mythopoetic tales chronicling the eternal quarrel between preservation and invention, sisterhood and schism, the living word and the written one. It is both a creation story and an elegy-for the first language, for the first forgiveness, and for the long, unfinished conversation between love and ruin.

The daughter knowing many houses was wise in the ways of worlds, and rather to look for things that are far away; she looked for things things that have not yet been. She is the protector of cities and the deliverer of slaves. She hastens to anywhere there are cries of torment; there she teaches the tormented crafts of trapping their enemies- devils and demons alike. When brought to wrath, she washes away all into the void of nothingness. She cast those that raise their swords against the city into oblivion; she is the savior.

As I drifted off into my slumber, I catch a sight of the black night sky, wind that swirls with sound, rustling of leaves, soft sounds of footsteps. The bright moonlight embellishes us as starry lights lead the way, finding a path between good or wrong, hearing voices at my side, noticing the numbness I felt at that very moment. "I don’t know if am I black sheep or am angel! Who am I?" -Freya

'do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you.' ~ Rupi Kaur ~ [All poetry inside is the original work of the author]

This is a collection of short poems I have written in response to existence as it's ongoing. May they serve you as they serve me.

When the wind from the fallen cities reaches the orchard of Kiuerï, it carries with it the last breath of empires-smoke, song, and the faint ache of repentance. In The Earth Keeper, Gaula, the Preserver of the Garden, meets her shadow one final time: Lilith, the Runechild, once the destroyer of the Mother and the scribe of humankind's first lie. The orchard becomes their tribunal, their sanctuary, their mirror. Here, Lilith confesses the full grammar of her trespass: the murder of Ninti, the birth of the false dawn Lu'ishtar, and the long religion of fear that followed. Gaula listens, not as judge but as root-steady, patient, remembering. What unfolds between them is neither condemnation nor absolution, but the long labor of recognition. Together they unmake the ancient story of blame and restore the Mother's true name to the soil. Told in prose of mythic stillness and terrible beauty, The Earth Keeper completes the reconciliation that began with Vox Fractura and Ninti's Rest. It is the quiet apocalypse of the Eärédan Mythos: the moment when the destroyer lays down her invention, when the Garden breathes through both sinner and saint, and when language itself turns green again. A meditation on guilt, memory, and renewal, The Earth Keeper is the story of creation forgiving its wound-of the earth learning once more how to say yes.
