#WORLD 

The characters of this story are personified mythological creatures, in other words these creatures will be drawn with human attributes. And all of them are female, because I really wanted to make a story with all female cast but didn’t have a fitting idea for a long time, so now; I have idea and time to realize it.
The world of Untold Myth consists of various places from different mythologies around the world merged together, although the first tale only take place in Lycia region and only covered few creatures from Greek mythology. More regions will revealed in later tales, some regions will use alternate name related to the particular ruler of that region (Underworld named Hades, Muspellheim named Surt, etc). There’re also some elements from the original myths that will be purposely changed because there’re many versions of that myth or because of other reasons, so please don’t complain about it.
Now, about the Lycia region, this place is based on Mountain Lycia from Greek myth. In this story Lycia region is an isolated place with tall mountains surrounding this place, the mountains are too high for most flying creatures to be able to cross them. And below the mountains are filled with adamantine, the hardest metal in the world, making it impossible to get in or out via underground. So this place is pretty much inaccessible from both sky and underground.

#STORY
Belle is a Chimera living on Lycia region, and it’s another peaceful day for this young Chimera so she decided to continue sleeping all day…. until an earthquake slapped her wide awake. Forced to wake up, she suddenly felt so hungry, and then she set out to hunt for foods.
In the forest she started to hunt some rabbits, just when Belle found one someone kicked the rabbit and took it inside her skirt. Belle was mad to that person whom stole her breakfast, the person was apologizing politely and Belle’s anger subsided. That person introduced herself as Aello, a Harpy that came from the region outside of Lycia.
Aello told Belle that she came to Lycia to investigate unnatural earthquakes that occurred lately. Aello ask Belle to help her, and Belle agreed to help her, then they started their investigation to reveal the true cause of the earthquakes…

#CHARACTERS



Belle
 A young Chimera living on Lycia region. She had a peaceful life in her little tree house that was built by the Dryads. Her daily routine consists of eat and sleep. She might have enjoyed her life too much even the earthquakes didn’t bother her even a little.
 She began to live in Lycia when she was 19 years old (she’s currently 68 years old), how she ended up in that region is currently unknown. One thing that she learnt in her childhood and she’s really proud of it is that herself being a Chimera, which is known as a mighty fire-breathing creature. The lack of creatures living on Lycia  made her pretty much thinking she is very strong.
 As an isolated young creature she’s full of curiosity of outside world, and she’s also lacking knowledge and common sense. Her energetic behavior made up for this though.
 Unknown to her that her meeting with Aello will change her life forever…
 *Her name came from Bellerophon, the man who slays Chimera in Greek mythology, quite an irony right?


Aello 
 A Harpy that came to Lycia from outside the mountains. She was able to enter Lycia  with the help of her friend, a Quetzalcoatl which can control the flow of wind.
 She was asked by another friend of hers, an Antaeus, daughter of Gaia to investigate and stop the unnatural earthquakes which frequently occur lately.
 Her personality can be described as kind, polite, and gentle lady, but it’s just to cover her true personality. She’s kleptomania, who loves snatching other people’s stuff, and she’s also a sadist, she likes to apply slavery to other people. Fortunately these traits only appear to people who are close to her and weaker than her. She usually put her stuffs inside her big skirt; it’s also a perfect place to hide the stuffs she had stolen.
 Even though her true age is around 200 years old, she pretends to be over 600 years old. This way the others will see her as a strong and wise creature; her personality strengthens her lies even further. This scenario is also the reason why she has many wonderful creatures as her friend.
 *Originally she’s one of the three Harpy sisters from Greek myth, Aello the storm swift, Celaeno the dark (also known as Podarge the fleet foot), and Ocypete the swift wing.


Arges
 A Cyclops who live as a nomad in Lycia region. She finally found a nice place to live on the southern part of Lycia region, a place known as Adamantine Lair, an unusual place where adamantine gathers in a place other than below Lycia Mountains. She is trying to build her own home inside Adamantine Lair by digging that place, since a house built from adamantine is very sturdy.
 Incidentally Adamantine Lair is the center of the earthquakes yet she didn’t feel anything at all, what could possibly happen?
 She’s a very easygoing and carefree person, easily bored, always has chance to relax whenever and wherever possible, she can be described as lazy though. She has enormous amount of strength, enormous enough to break the adamantine. Yet her personality made things go slowly…
 Surprisingly she’s pretty good at crafting tools from wood, rocks, or metal. She’s the one who made furniture at Belle’s house together with the Dryads, but she forgot Belle and Belle forgot her since she was just passing by when she saw the Dryads building a house for a Chimera and decided to help them, and it was 48 years ago.
 *She’s originates from one of the Cyclopes that forged many of the gods’ items such as Zeus’s lightning, Poseidon’s trident, Artemis’ bow, etc. These Cyclopes are Arges, Brontes, and Steropes.
