Mind Map

Update on what's going on in my mind with the underwater relm of Aquatica:
I am creating my own set of vocabulary to write my original story. 

* Neptunium refers to the royal blood line or presence of royal blood in a person.  Creative use of the word Neptunium as it is actually an element from the Periodic Table. 

*Dagon {means half man & half fish} is Neptune's son in my story of Aquatica.  Plus it sounds kind of sinister if you lower your voice and draw out the word.  D~a~g~o~n ...You can do it, nobody's watching you! 

Dagon is believed to be dead but is actually working for Hades and heading up the rebellion to overthrow the mighty Neptune.  The evil Meridian is attacked by a hungry pack of wolf fish at the end of book 1.  By the way 'wolf fish' are real fish...with extra long teeth! 

*Meridian {creative word use} is interchangable with merfolk, merman or mermaid ... I think it gives the storyline an older appeal.  In reality, Meridian refers to the earth's axis. 

*Mystisette {totally, made that name up} is Neptune's daughter.  Now she is the beautiful Meridian that saved the Seafarers in the water cell when they were arrested.  But she will be introduced in book 2 (Beneath the Blade). 

*Portolan Chart and the Holy Stone.  Again, real things with creative word use.  Grammy's secret diary reveals the location of the Portolan Chart and the Holy Stone to the boys as being hidden deep within Fortune Falls in Chattering Cave.  The Portolan Chart is a secret map that leads to two other magic cities simular to Atlantis.  I haven't yet decided what the Holy Stone should do. 

In reality a Portolan Chart was a chart mapping out different ports for sailors back in the 1400's and the holy stone was a sanding block used to sand the deck of a ship.  {its name is derived from the kneeling position that sailors took in sanding the deck.} 

I am working on the name of the two unknown territories established around the same time as Atlantis.  They became safe havens for Meridians wishing to escape the war between Neptune and Hades.  After the destruction of Atlantis, there location was kept a secret for fear that those cities would be destroyed.

Just working out all the main themes before getting underway with the process of writing the story.
