Post subject: The Golden Comb Post

Reply with quote

Whenever I look for good inspiration for fantasy characters, I refer to old folklore. One that caught my attention is the Jamaican mermaid.

The idea is you will only see this mermaid once a year, on a full moon, since that's the only time she comes out. She is usually found bathing and brushing her hair with a golden comb. Legend has it, if you scare the mermaid, she will drop the comb.

The man who obtains the comb is visited by the mermaid and directed through dreams to incredible riches which lie beneath the ocean - so great he will have to inevitably retrieve it.

Seems like a really fun basis for a storyline. The Quest for the Golden Comb!

Anyone interested?

"That night, Eurynomos dreamed of animals. Animals he'd never seen before.
He dreamed of tigers fighting spiders. He dreamed an eagle screamed and struck down the sun.
His mind drew pictures of wolves hunting bears, of machines in chaotic landscapes,
of gods weeping and laughing in merriment as the animals played their primal games."

Umm yeah. Open ocean air and a treasure hunt. It might even entice Isabella to go! :) Though she isn't too friendly. lol

Maybe Cecily then. :)

In a world beyond controlling, are you gonna deny the savior in front of your eyes?

I realize the golden comb thread is nearly dead but, I was wondering if it could take place before Madrin made a name for himself in Ashes to Ashes. A few years back when he was adventuring as an unknown is what I would prefer. If so I would like to start it, let me know please. I'm enjoying dreams of glory so no rush I just keep thinking how fun it could be. I know in first blood for a new job I stated that was his first time on an oceangoing vessel. I have plans for that as well :evil:
