Twin stars: the tale of three years wrapped up in Jade-ed mythos of the realm between fiction and nonfiction.
A t the start of time, is the close parallel: a god born out of nothingness compared to the Big Bang, somehow accurate for the most part. From then on were newer gods, some killing their parent(s) like the apparent splitting of atoms in the intense heat of the light moments after. Much of the “bad gods” from that point are either lost to the sands of our mouths or to be thrown in a place of their own, namely either chaos, minority, or death.
With Chinese mythology, it could be seen as some sort of irregular transition from a god that is all-of-everything to something that powers the imbalance at times, though through three or four distinct phaetons instead of dividing up by region or time period; particularly, it’s Taoist, Buddhist, Confucianist, and the traditional sectors that is at the generic core of the country’s ancient oral tradition.
That also brings up the trilogy, Ashen Dreams. Meant as a brief deeper dive into the realms of the same stories, its author Q Dagbjort Huangington incorporates much of it, starting off in the year of 2018 in a world’s timeline indifferent from our own, with a start of four characters, equally male as female.
Their first year starts as chronicled through an fictitious VHS, now published as “Fool’s Infernos”. As noted, it’s told in the first-person point-of-view through the eyes of a boy, though it’ll not be American by blood but by citizenship. An war of the past is pretty influential, though I do not dare to say whether that’s an minor unnecessary battle like the war on emus during the Great Depression. Seven entire years of work was prototyping, and now, as of 2023, is published, only in its print and eBook versions as the audiobook’s planned for a later date. The Universal book link for the book in question is provided in the phrase “print and eBook” — just click the link, select your store, and buy it if you want to read it. Paying is optional, though it never comes completely free if you want to read it, dear reader.
The characters’ second year, as recorded on Devil’s Hymns, starts on the year that COVID-19 began. Now having killed off one and gained three as protagonists, though this time, there is no definite main protagonist: every chapter in the actions following the turning point and the resolution recorded in a way that no one had an greater leverage, though the two recordings contain the shadows of the limbs and torso of the entire series. Their main location is different, though they travel along a pair of stone walls that they may not see. A bit more anomalies are presented in this installation of Ashen Dreams, with a much deeper dive into their safe-house’s history than just a meter. It is currently a work in progress.
Their third year is in 2020, though after the previous has been published, it is a planned and readied for writing it all out. It’ll be the climax and the final book — the book that ends it all.
An highly integral part of the overarching trilogy is of the primordial god’s followers — those who do not accept equality but scream for a government of all”good” traits: every single one of those in question deriving from either absolutism or its relatives in terms of how they’d operate.
