FIRST NOVEL COMPLETE

During this last month, I've gotten so much writing done. I feel as though I've written more this month than I have recently since I began putting more photo focus into the photography side of my career. Not only did I write a few poems and song lyrics, I've written my first novel since I was a child. Unlike those, I've actually kept and completed it. The novel is entitled Khyrus, Gad of Virtue and Strength.

I chose to use Gad instead of God. God is dog backwards. Female dogs are called bitches. Calling the Most High a dog, bitch, etc. is extremely disrespectful and gives them a

reason to punish someone. Gad means good fortune. A Gad can bring good fortune to beings who are deserving of it. They can also take it away and choose who has earned it.

Since Khyrus is a Gad (though fictitious) , I also created other characters who are Gadesses for this novel and two others I plan to write in 2020. I was able to take something I learned and combine it with my imagination to create a piece of art I'm extremely proud of.

To avenge his fallen parents and to preserve what they've fought to protect, Khyrus must defeat Nirjin, God of Destruction. His heart is good, but will he have the strength? The will?

Khyra was the Gadess of Virtue. Thorus was the Gad of Strength. They were Khyrus' parents (also where he had gotten his name from). His parents were the rulers of a Realm named Eboneon. The planet they lived on is called the Ebon Planet. They were called such because their skin resembles the color of Ebony of shade of brown.

Their people lived in a way where they could survive without destroying their home or killing all the other forms of life sharing the space with them. There's rarely any violence, though they train to defend themselves if someone were to ever attempt to harm them. When there are disagreements, they talk about how they could fix the problem and move on that.

The Eboneon Realm as a whole was a very peaceful place with very few issues if any at all. That all began to change when Nirjin, God of Destruction traveled through Eboneon to get to them.

Nirjin is apart of the Neanderan race. His people are from the planet Neander in the Paleon Realm. They're the complete opposite of the Ebonee race (Khyrus and his people). They're destructive, violent, evil and wasteful. They're also greedy to the point where they'll take from others and kill, enslave and abuse those who appose Nirjin. Nirjin kills Khyrus' parents and takes over Ebon. Wether or not their home can be peaceful again is up to Khyrus.
