The Odyssey Disquiet
The Odyssey Disquiet is my largest project, having been written over the last decade. It draws inspiration from Homer and various cultures around the world.
​
Ouropa is a world where the ancient gods are real deities long removed from mortal life. However, after a storm, a child washes ashore upon the shores of a sun elf village. As she grows, she dreams of becoming a monster hunter, but when her best friend and soulmate is killed in an attack, she--and somehow he--are thrown into a journey to bring back the old gods.
​
This story focuses on some of the most unspoken themes in society today: grief turned abuse, paranoia turned into toxic masculinity, male sexual abuse, and personality disorders. It is a story held near and dear to me, and I dream of making it into an epic piece of work.
Characters
Kai
Main Character
Kai is a sun elf from a small village on the Eastern coast of the Stormy Regions. She grew up an orphan, though she never felt without community as she was raised by a well known hunter.
​
Now she is of age, and was working to become a hunter in her own right until her village got attacked by a monster, and her best friend and partner Ahi was killed in the blacksmith he worked in.
​
Her story is that of finding identity despite predetermined fate. As she is forced to become a hero, she must learn how to remain herself despite her own past and destiny.
