What makes "The Mythical Emblems of Gragodon" such a fascinating tale.

In a time, far away from ours, when the  civilizations of one race of peoples after another and their often imposing establishments lie buried deep in the  the crust of the Earth, a stretch of virgin land, called Gragodon, becomes home to a wandering race of Sorcerers. Over the long years of their existence, they learn to tap into their innermost selves and unearth most natural ways of conjuring up spells, enchantments and mysteriously magical stuff.

During that distant time in the future, our planet becomes populated by different kinds of mortal beings.  A particular race of beings, known as the Gleiderans, sport wings on their backs and are able to fly like vultures upon the clear sky.  The Regnadeans have facial features resembling the lion and are naturally a ferocious kind of people.  The race of Reptila, resembling the monitor lizard in its entirety, walk upon two powerful hind legs.  Much taller than the humans of those times, they are also the scourge of the human inhabitants.  We humans also evolved according to the regions and climes of the times.  Some humans sport pointed ears stretching up to their foreheads whilst some become endowed with thicker skin.  Most others have features similar to our own.  The interesting part about all this is that all the different races of beings could speak the language of the human peoples.  The powerful Sorcerers are another race to contend with.  Of course, there are many more races of people to talk about, but let me not spoil the wonder and awe of the reader as he or she reads line by interesting line of the six enchanting volumes of “The Mythical Emblems of Gragodon”.

It makes us wonder whether these different races of people can exist side by side in harmony and get along with one another.  If only that was possible, our own human race would have lived peacefully for many thousands of years and all the massacres, evils and injustices which we read about in the newspapers would only come to be seen as something never to be experienced.  And yet, the reality of the world about us is quite often taken to some extreme measure.  In such a veritable cauldron of trouble-about-to-break-loose, the five mystical Emblems of Gragodon, conjured up by the wisest of the wise Sorcerers of those times, come into being to serve the purposes for which they are mysteriously brought forth.  To make sense of what has been written so far, let us move to a time thousands of years after the conjuring of the five mythical Gragodonian emblems.

There are seven kingdoms of living beings and the seven lands are called Lamiras, Meldovia, Varnosia, Orvidea, Solma, Belgond and Regnadea.  The people of these kingdoms live in peace with one another.  But this seeming paradise does not last for long.  Greed and the lust to wield more power inevitably provoke some of the characters in this enchanting tale to delve into the dark mystical arts.  A natural outcome of these dabblings is the procurement of potent mystical powers, too fearful for the ordinary individual to behold.  When the lust to acquire power reaches intolerable levels, the good leaders of the world decide that the only way to overcome these negative forces is to call forth the mystical Emblems of Gragodon.  And yet, it is not so easy to battle against the evil elements because of one simple but mystifying truth.

For the continued peace of the world and of the generations to come, the valiant heroes realize that they have to lay down their lives to uphold all that they believe in, value and respect.  The enemies possess enormous power and can even counteract the majestic powers of the five Gragodonian emblems.

The next article about the five Emblems of Gragodon and the mystical powers they grant their bearers, is also available for reading.
