Unproffessional History
by Ruki
So this morning after having a crazy dream of Ishmael and Isaac, I got a story thing down that turned out to be sort of the history of how Erilea and Urjiy and Yaan were founded... and why Urjiy and Erilea don't really get along. Keep in mind I'm sending you the rough draft. Silindë and I talked about it, and we thought maybe it should be a voiceover sort of thing in First Strike, or the other option is Quoqitus telling it to Elya and Aryn...
***
A long time ago, there was a family of three children and their parents. At the wedding of their parents, a prophecy had been spoken over the family at birth that one of their children would found and rule a great nation. The first two children were twins: a girl, Myurë Yaan, and a boy, Prëon Jiy. As nobody knew which one would fulfill the prophecy, both were raised to be capable of it. By the time Myurë and Prëon were fourteen, they had a newborn brother, Varyen Erilea. All the parents' time and resources had been invested in the twins, so they never really considered Varyen to be a "competitor". A revolution took place in their country, and the twins and their brother were deported to the shores of a new land with their wives and husband. They were forgotten there after the war ended, however.
By that time, Prëon had ten children, and Myurë had fourteen. Varyen had only two at that time. A priest came and spoke to the three. He said the Creator would give them any gifts they desired in this new land at that moment.
Prëon, a great hunter and fighter, replied "stealth". His sister replied "wisdom and longentivity of life". Varyen had been used by Prëon to run errands or such things, the grunt work around the small settlement, so he thought carefully. He finally made a decision. He asked for the prophecy to be fulfilled in his line.
Varyen was warned it would take a long time and he would have to deal with the consequences.
Their gifts were granted however. When Prëon discovered what Varyen had asked for, he tried to kill Varyen. Myurë protected her youngest brother however, and swore she would be a friend to both of them as long as they let her.
Prëon spurned her friendship as long as she sided with the "thief", and took his family to the Coilo mountains. His are the clever assassins and Shadows, and they do not intermarry or socialize with Erileans, being the "victims".
Myurë stayed in the forest with her family, all of whom to this day remain long lived (approx 400 yrs before slowly aging), and in the ruling family there is always a Myurë in reminder of the vow their matriarch took.
Varyen's family has not yet achieved the promise, and a priest prophesied that they would not until they made peace with Prëon's family who swore everlasting enmity.
***
Elya and Aryn and Ruki and Morgal are the keys to fulfilling the prophecy. Ruki is a daughter of both Varyen and Prëon, despite the illegitimacy which was none of her or Leonës' faults. Aleya, a representative of Myurë, can accept Ruki while knowing of her heritage, but as Ruki doesn't know, neither can Aleya. So if Elya, a descendant of Aleya and Myurë I, accepts Ruki as she is, the Erileans can achieve the promised reward after forming an alliance with Ruki (who is the successor of Jiyda, the "ruler" of Urjiy), as it is considered making peace.

December has come...
And I haven't been on in forever to talk about this... oops?
Anyway, we're planning to begin filming over Winter Break. It's been kind of rough here for us... Elya is in her senior year and in marching band and everything. Ruki has been sick and then writing a novel in the month of November (yes, I won, thank you very much.) and it's been crazy.
Thankfully, we have a few more actresses. We're still very short on actors, but as you probably guessed, I don't do well with guys. :) I'm... odd that way. Soon we will have casting pictures round three up...Give me some time and I'll be back on track. We're doing well with the scripts and costumes. It's been easier than it could have been.
Okay so.. *goes to upload something productive onto this half dead blog*
