Describing the Many Worlds isn't an easy thing to do. I've been working on stories for them for over a decade, before I understood how all of these worlds linked together, and there's still so much to learn. During this time I've found the best thing to do is simply let the characters tell me their story, rather than trying to force things. Of course this can complicate things, as there are some stories they aren't ready to tell me, so this can lead to a whole mess of knots that I then have to try to untangle - especially as they're very good at lying to both themselves, and to me. This is part of the fun of telling the stories of these worlds.
At first even I believed this all started with the Fae. It wasn't until later on the Artach Silva Lupus were willing to start telling their part of the story, and how they were the ones to create the Fae. There's a whole lot of history tied into they haven't yet opened up about, including the fact there was another race with the same name, who ended up having to be destroyed. Time is how I'll find out the answers to all these questions, as the characters who were involved begin to talk to me about how this all happen.
What I do know is the Fae travelled from one world to the next, destroying the worlds they left behind. There are two types of magic users - those who naturally replenish what they take, and those who don't. Unfortunately for those worlds the Fae are the latter, while also finding it very hard to share a world with other races, as they had to try to do on Kalinia. One King's choice is what led to the almost total destruction of Kalinia, but somehow it does still exist now, and has become home to the Magicians. From Kalinia the Fae went to multiple places, with the two best known being Earth and Athare.
Some of the other races who still lived on Kalinia also had to leave it behind. The Griffins travelled to one world, where their lives were changed for good. The Dragons, on of the Fae's created races, went to another world. The Selkies moved to yet another world, and then there are a number of other races I'm still learning about. Some of the shifters and the Mer chose to travel with one of the Fae groups to Earth, even though them living together wasn't an easy thing.
There are other worlds that have been affected either by the Lupus or the Fae. A couple of those worlds are home to Aurora and Heliopath, who are characters I started writing about a very long time ago, and as I write these stories I learn so much more about their worlds too. My alternate Earth exist, I believe, due to another group of the Fae doing everything they could to create an Earth that was safe for their people to call home. Whatever Earth was there for them wasn't somewhere they believed would be a place the Fae could live, and they made the decision to make certain changes in the hope that changes would lead to good things. However this led to many other changes that have affected other Earths in adverse ways.
One of these Earths is home to the Donor House, and a group of vampires trying to create a home for themselves. This is, along with the Fae World and the World Walkers, one of my largest collections, although I am still working to get the majority of the stories I had up before available to read. Getting the stories up is my current priority, as I work on the Many Worlds, but doing that is going to take a lot of time. I've been working through edits recently, so I've got some of my older stories up with certain changes to deal with some of the knots I mentioned before.
If you want to see more of these stories, or any of the others I'm working on, I'm working on building up my income via my original fiction. I have my Patreon, and I also have my Ko-fi if you don't want something that means paying a monthly subscription. Everything I write will be available free to read, but the more I make for this the more I can write. My goal for the end of the year is $50 a month via Patreon, so please signal boost if you can, as the reach really does help.
