Ologun Mejo
When gods walk the earth, even shadows must remember their names. A small village stands at the edge of ruin, its people caught between mortal fear and divine silence. From the old tales, eight Orisha rise again - guardians bound by fate, drawn by the cry of the desperate. But as the veil between worlds trembles, something older stirs in the deep: the Ajogun whisper, and in the dark between creation and decay, an ancient nameless power begins to wake. In a world where myths still bleed into reality, balance itself may not be salvation - only the calm before another storm.

To survive an endless curse cast upon the earth by the gods, humans sought freedom and revenge upon those who were closest to them- the Giants. Attacking with powerful sleep spells, the situation left them with only 24 hours of escape. Celebrating the tenth millennia since giants started ruling Oyo-Ile, Asalewa Ayodeji, one of the thousand enslaved individuals from Ondo cursed with misfortune, puts her escape plan into action. Meanwhile, dwarfs ascend from the spirit world to find and elude the twin golden eggs, which hold over a thousand powers and spells. Nevertheless, Asa encounters an army of Ninki-Nanka; creatures who will leave nothing and no one standing until they possess the twin golden eggs. Could she make her dream of freedom a reality by joining the northerners and exploring a more liberated world? How far would Asa and the others go to protect the twin golden eggs? Could this be the end of humankind? Cover credit: Meha-k #1 in MythandLegend (07.07.2023) COPYRIGHT ©2022Complete

Myth and Legends
What is Myth? Myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or originmyths. The main characters in myths are usually non-humans, such as gods, demigods, and other supernatural figures. However, others also include humans, animals, or combinations in their classification of myth. Stories of everyday human beings, although often of leaders of some type, are usually contained in legends, as opposed to myths. Myths are sometimes distinguished from legends in that myths deal with gods, usually have no historical basis, and are set in a world of the remote past, very different from that of the present. What is Legend? A legend is a genre of folklore that consists of a narrative featuring human actions, believed or perceived, both by teller and listeners, to have taken place in human history. Narratives in this genre may demonstrate human values, and possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants may include miracles. Legends may be transformed over time to keep them fresh and vital. Many legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutelydoubted. Legends are sometimes distinguished from myths in that they concern human beings as the main characters rather than gods, and sometimes in that they have some sort of historical basis whereas myths generally do not.
