So, who is he? Kodem is a main character of an upcoming series "The Tales From Under The Golden Cauldron", trying to find his place in the twisted world he knows nothing about. He was raised as a magical experiment alongside with hundreds of other guys, called Eyeshifters. He's capable of using a narrow range of magic, which causes his eye color to change, according to power he's using. That is because his Gate of Prav is constantly present in his eyes. Other wizards need to concentrate and locate their Gate inside them, and only then they can connect their Will and their Prav, in order to use magic. The problem is the Gate always changes its place. That's why The Emperor of Eivon Empire has decided to secretly raise an army of coldblooded warriors without this problem, ready to strike down The Magical Union and conquer an entire Known World.

But after the war in which The Union has collapsed, Eyeshifters were set free by the emperor. Now they need to figure out how to live outside the empire's army. Kodem was lucky enough to get a house and live with his best friend Mil. He's not exactly like the others Eyeshifters: he's an empath, and always was. He seeks the meaning in life. One may find him sentimental and caring. However, he cannot help the way he was raised: deep trauma consumes him, and makes him unable to connect with other people, name his feelings or fell in love.

szeptucha

Szeptucha (pronounced: sheptookha) - a witch specialized in healing, finding curses and taking rid of them, but also her own rituals. Her most powerful abilities require years of practice, usage of herbs and mountain crystals, and a lot of will. They are capable of summoning basic and small demons and spirits.

You could easily recognize her by the red tattoos depicting wind-like lines around her forearm. Usually you could meet her in the Kingdom of Pomorze, or Kingdom of Kochia. They are very secretive and reserved, live on the edge of the village or in the woods. Their houses are surrounded by herbs and little demons protecting her property.

Meet szeptuchas in my upcoming novel, Stories from "Under the Golden Cauldron", follow me for updates. Stay and slay, JMB.

I am proud to share with you a first map of my fantasy world, called "Known World". It is an archipelag of islands with a big one called a "Continent" in the centre. They are all surrounded by a Great Barrier, magical shield protecting the Known World from the beasts and threats of the Unknown World. Novel takes place in four different countries on the North of Known World: Remotissia, Eivon Empire, Kingdom of Pomorze, and Ploatia. The journey of Kodem is going to show us different cultures, and their reactions to Eyeshifters, current situation in the world and of course a lot of Slavic magic, gods and mythology. Stay and slay, JMB.

Ermof

"The Emperor doesn't want you to protect our homeland. He wants you to completely annihilate every one of its enemies and paint his altars with their blood. The Emperor loves vermilion red." - from "About The Brotherhood", a chapter of "The Tales Under The Golden Cauldron"

Mysterious figure in charge of the Eivon Empire, directly responsible for a war between his country and Magical Union. Kodem saw him only once, when he was very young. He remembers a tall man, wearing simple black clothes and a red cape on his shoulder. Someone brought him his crown which he must have forgotten to put on his head. He seemed... quirky? Somewhat lost in reality and not sure what was he even doing there. But then he changed for a while when he saw two Eyeshifters charging on him and using their abilities to kill him. Kodem noticed that he touched his deck of cards instead of grabbing a sword. But then, when those two were laying on the ground, he lost the spark in his eyes and his ironical smile turned back to this fake one he had when he walked in the chamber.

Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.

“Rule one, you have to write. If you don’t write, nothing will happen.”

— Neil Gaiman

[jakmirbrudny]

It’s a shame to admit, but I needed 5 years to ready my copy of Nordic Mythology by Neil Gaiman and that experience opened my heart to new fantasy worlds again! Narrative of Gaiman is so light like a feather, nothing stops you from getting ahead and the curiosity that he evokes in reader’s mind is hard to bear: you have to turn that page.

The other thing I learned about Gaiman should be his talent to create memorable, morally-gray and complex main characters. I found this pattern after reading American Gods and watching The Sandman. I believe he wrote a lot of different types of main characters but those two are especially great and I can’t wait to read more of his books and comics and whatever he wrote!
