Making Differences
Each of the three main characters in the Dichotomy trilogy has a role to play in fulfilling the prophecy.
But more importantly, each has his or her own quest. And I wanted those quests to be quite different.
So, Kymri runs away from home, finds her mentor in magic, and ends up fighting those who oppose magic in a war across the country of Seic, so she can get to where magic will be restored. Along the way, she finds the peace in her soul she never found at home, even as she's battling evil.
Hallas leaves home, as well, a misfit for having music in his soul among the engineering-based Resani (sea people). But then he is kidnapped by yet other bad guys who also don't want to see magic restored. They try to convince him that the naga who told him he was to be a mage is wrong. They almost convince him until the naga finds him again.
Tyagi is already a mage at the beginning of her book, though she doesn't know it yet. She is half Resani and half Canian (land people), with characteristics of both - as all mages do. She also runs away, but is almost immediately found by her parents and one of her mentors, a naga. Tyagi becomes an ambassador for mages, traveling the world trying to convince Canian and Resani that the prophecy must be fulfilled, that magic must be restored. She has her own challenges with disbelief and distrust.
The three must come together at a time and place to restore magic. Of course, they have no idea how...until they do.
