THE PLOT OF MYWYNN.
THERE IS A FINE LINE
BETWEEN WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL;
Long ago, when the world began, Angels and Demons fought over the way the world should be ruled and who by. Humans got a good sense of this and have even written it in some of their spiritually sacred texts. Some of the information though seemed to get scrambled as it was passed from species to species and generation to generation.
It is known that since the beginning of time Humans have been afraid of ghosts, ghouls and anything that goes bump in the night. This led to many stories and tales of vast creatures who put both fear and excitement into those that heard the stories.
Some of the ancient tribes spoke of a union between man and beast before they went into battle. They viewed wolves at the top of the pecking order in the forestal area in which they lived. It was considered a great honour to have the spirit of the wolf bless you when you most needed it. That you were chosen by the gods to be a Werewolf.
People used stories around the campfire in their little community or tribes but some of them were discovered to have not been stories at all but, reality. Many countries along the Ring of Fire were told a story of a being with fire abilities referred to as a Salamander. It was said that it hide under your bed when you misbehaved as a kid, it was found out in the Philippines to have been more than an old wives tale your parents told you.
Luckily for them, the stories they told about a saving soul with water abilities called a Nymph was also real and like those stories the Nymphs always protected those that feared the Salamanders. This resulted in many deaths on both sides and an age old tension between the Salamanders and the Nymphs.
This made many question which of the other tales were true and which were speculation. One of these stories was the one they had heard about Ghouls feeding off of the flesh of monks in Japan. Such thoughts led to offerings to the gods to save humanity and events such as the Salem Witch Trials as well as the odd ‘crazy person’ in a town or village that no one believed.

In the 1650’s a cluster of many small volcanoes below sea level erupted, dispersing ash and lava into the water and creating land mass. As it continued, the land mass became larger, creating one main island and several smaller islands around it. They are located 20-30 degrees south of the equator in the South Pacific Ocean. The creation of the island nation is one of the most unique processes on Earth, yet it is still a mystery that scientists are trying to solve. Much like Hawaii, all the islands were grouped together and were eventually called Mywynn; becoming an island nation. The islands themselves, for reasons unknown, seemed to be like a beacon for supernatural. Attracting supernatural creatures from near and far.
The first group of supernatural to build a colony on the islands in 1784 were the Vampires. One prestigious and conniving Romanian Vampire family called the Albu’s, meaning white, set up one of the oldest running antiquities on Mywynn, a holiday resort which was passed from successor to successor. It catered to mostly rich humans and over the years attracted great publicity.
Nobody questioned it when the people travelling alone went missing. Some of them never coming back and others seemingly different or changed, to how they were before they went missing. In fact many that visited the resort, fell in love with Mywynn and it’s quirky islands, causing them to never leave. Those that did leave often came back and sometimes relocated their lives to also live there.
Eventually as things improved in the fields of technology and engineering in the 1800’s, said rich humans often transported some of the working class and their families to Mywynn, to work for them. Not all of them lived on land though. The seas around the islands are filled with and inhabited by Merfolk and are often seen by supernatural campers, resort goers and locals that travel on the ferry from island to island daily. They live both on land and in the water as they have evolved and adapted legs for an improved lifestyle.
Seeing as they now had the technology smarts of an official small airport instead of the landing strip with one aeroplane they use to use and a ferry instead of a rowboat that spent days transporting people, it wasn’t much of an expense for them to ship out relatives. Soon the human to supernatural ratio became unfair and unbalanced
To solve the problem a rare disease spread causing the first Zombie to be born. The Zombie outbreak was quite contained, although when they worked in hordes or became degenerate a lot of bloodshed was caused due to idiocy. When this happened a lot of the Zombies split off from their own species and laid low, disowning their own. Those that were still working together were eventually wiped out by manic, psychotic individuals and Mother Nature's minions.
These minions were referred to as Seasonals and were Humans that She had selected and given powers based on the seasons. Their powers only worked in that one season though and because of this new supernatural species being born it restored the balance once more. This event never caused beef between the Seasonals and Zombies themselves as the Zombies are quite a self-loathing species.
Not everything on the islands was fun and games though. A lot of the species fought over space and where they wanted to live, especially those that prided themselves on being purebreds that never had offspring with other species let alone a Human aka Ghouls. This frustration eventually left Mywynn in ruin and suddenly a war broke out between factions. The heat of the war seemed to be between, Demons and Succubx, who constantly fought over resources, could not settle their differences and see how similar they indeed were.
Things quickly escalated in the 1900’s when it was discovered that Taylor Owens, the last ruler of the Succubx had kidnapped and taken the older sister of Margarita Florentina, a high-profile member of the Demons. Taylor planned to force wedlock on the young female Demon so that their people could take the land and resources they felt belonged to them.
Eventually, the Demons tracked down Taylor killing them and saving the girl. These events still cause tension between the factions. This resulted in a lot of the land in Mywynn being mixed with different species and many of them settling in little pockets of villages throughout areas that didn’t belong to them.
The Elves and Angels had taken it upon themselves to try keep the peace although they were both bias towards one group or the other. The Angels siding with the Succubx as they had a common enemy of the Demons even though the Succubx themselves were also residents of hell. It was in this alliance that the most Soulless were created as Angels gave the Succubx the purest of highs. The Elves were quite diplomatic about their ways of thinking and sided with the Demons saying that they were being wrongfully judged by the Angels as the Succubx took the steps to escalate the war to the point of death of their leader.
It was the Elves over confidence in themselves and noseyness that also got them in trouble during the second world war among the Humans in the 1940’s. The Elves took it upon themselves to try and sort the dispute as they didn’t like how the Humans were treating the planet they inhabited, about 10 of their clan members were approaching the trenches when the human armies opened fire on them thinking they were soldiers belonging to the enemy.
The Elven weaponry didn’t stand a chance against the guns the humans possessed. They were slaughtered and this loss made the Elves have great hatred towards the Humans. They killed their people and they were killing the planet. The hatred was passed down from generation to generation of Elf but the humans were none the wiser. They also became less aware that they were hated as the Humans were quite forgetful and their mortality killed the ones originally involved.
Due to their mutual understanding of humanity destroying the land and the sea, the Nymphs felt empathetic towards the Elven people for their loss, attending their burial rituals of their lost clan members. Thus creating a trusted respectful bond and everlasting friendship between both species.
That is why when Hae-Soo told her people that the fighting between her water tribe and Jonghyuns fire tribe must come to an end due to them falling in love, Estelwen was the first person to offer her initial support for the pair. Any new generations of the Salamanders and Nymphs accepted this, as they were happy to no longer have to fear or watch over their shoulders.
The elder generations still fought and fumed as the hatred was within them for many years now. They didn’t know anything else and were afraid of change. As of right now though things around Mywynn seemed calm, but for how long?
