On a smaller planet, unlike our own, lives multiple species that call themselves the “myth people.” There are mermaids and mermen, yetis, fairies, winged people, pirates, gods and goddesses, witches, dragons, nymphs, griffins, leprechauns, unicorns, and ogres. On an island where the oceans surrounding are crystal clear, there are beautiful sky kingdoms and mighty mountains where yetis, fauns and the winged ones live. Under the sea, in the throne room of a castle, a mermaid named Tyla is pleading with her dad, King William. “Daddy, can I please go explore the surface?” she asked in desperation. “NO!!” her father quickly replied. “But you let all my sisters go to the surface when they turned 14,” she complained. “I know that, but I don’t think you are not responsible enough to go to the surface and not be seen by any land creatures,” he said quietly, more to himself than Tyla. “What was that Daddy, did you just say that I am not responsible?” questioned Tyla. “Do you really think that I would risk our kind like that,” she paused, “well, if you do, you are wrong, I love our private life here under the perfect ocean and I would never, ever try to destroy the secrecy of our lives.” After a little bit more of conversation King William stated, “Fine, you may go explore the surface, but you MUST be back before sunrise. Do you understand?” “Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you Daddy!” she squealed. “I will make sure I am back before sunrise!” Then Tyla kissed her father on
She returned the kiss, teasing him with her lips. “Daddy let me have the afternoon off so I could clam for supper tonight.”
Long ago under the sea, there lived a royal mermaid family in a beautiful kingdom. Queen Ryell bore six flawless daughters to King Adron, however, one was not ordinary. She was the youngest mermaid and never fit in with the rest of the girls. She possessed long blonde curly hair with bright blue eyes. She was unique in her own way and talked to everyone she caught sight of. Although she was curious of what was outside of the Kingdom gates, she obeyed her parents and never departed. Her name was Luna.
“Thank you mummy! Thank you so much for getting me back!” William burst, embracing his mother.
In a world whereby diverse cultures and religions collide amongst the disparate and polarized people of our planet, there are few pervading threads that adhere the seams of human life and experience as vividly and profoundly as mythology. Emerging from the first primordial peoples of the earth, from the Occident to the Orient, mythology appears to be an almost innate and inbuilt feature of the human psyche; as religion fuels the contention of superhuman gods who perhaps once sowed the seeds of life, mythology yields the direction and
Myth is a body of story that matters—the patterns present in mythology run deeply in the human psyche

Under the sea, in an idyllic and beautiful garden, stands a statue of a young man cut out of cold stone – for the Little Mermaid who knows nothing but the sea, the statue stands as an emblem of the mysterious over-world, a stimulus for imagination and sexual desire, an incentive for expansion of experience, and most predominately, an indication that something great and all-encompassing is missing from her existence. Traces of curiosity and a vague indication of the complexities of adult desires mark the child mermaid; in such a stage of development, the statue will suffice. However, as the Little Mermaid reaches puberty, the statue must allegorically come alive in order to parallel
Once a respected member of King Triton's royal sea court; Ursula, was banished from the underwater city when it was discovered she planned to overthrow his kingdom.

After breakfast, Luz drove them both to school. She kissed their cheeks, gave them tight hugs and wished them both a great day.
Often times we hear the word Myth and don’t have a complete understanding of what the word means. Mythology can vary greatly but it is one thing that countries, cultures, and religions have in common.
