Got some Explaining to do...

Alternative Title: What the fuck are you talking about Trilby??

Alright alright.

I probably would have put this as the very first topic of this blog when I mentioned the 'I am writing a book' bit on the first page.

But I wasn't in the mood to talk about that then. I said I would explain what my story is about to you.

So here it is, as full as I can explain it at this point.

Enjoy.

So the premise of the story is that there are two seperate worlds: One is Earth where the Humans (known here as Terran) live, and Kalama, where the creatures, species and races of legend and myth live. Kalama also has magic and thus, Wizards.

A very long time ago, when Wizards were only just starting to learn and master Magic, they became reckless and punched a hole through the World Between (the space that seperates all worlds) and made a portal. Passing through this portal, they found the Terran and the two started to meet and cohabit, learning from each other.

This continued in a somewhat harmony until the sometime in the Early Modern Peroid. Wizards were becoming more frequent and religious groups began to grow fearful of their power. They declared that Magic was a sin and began a crusade against the Kalamian races and users of magic, spreading fear and distrust throughout the land with tales of 'witchcraft' and 'sorcery'. Panic ensued and magic-users were burnt at the stake in unfair trials.

Not standing for this, the Kalamian Wizards decided the Terran were now no longer allies and were trying to destroy their way of life. Not wanting to cause bloodshed and an all out war, they evacuated all of their people they could back into Kalama and sealed the portal they had created. They placed its essence into the Silver Door and locked it, so that nobody could go through to Earth again.

Centuries past and the Kalamian races turned from fact to rumours and obscured into legends, and belief in them faded out over the passage of time. Much the same happened in Kalama too, the Terran were bedtime stories and tales used by parents to send their children off to sleep with. Aside from the select few on each side of the Door, nobody thought the other world was anything but a set of stories and myths.

All this was to change when the Wizards of Kalama, protectors of the Door fell to a rogue Wizard called Lord Deemer, formerly a Terran himself.  Craving absolute power, Deemer sought the key to the Silver Door so he and his forces could conquer Earth after he has full control of Kalama.

Jack Langley, Archmage and the holder of the only key to open the Silver Door, sent the key to Earth so that Deemer couldn't get hold of it and Earth would remain safe no matter what fate would befall Kalama. Along with it, he placed his Mind and Soul into the key so he could guard it and protect it still while it was on Earth.

However, this key was found by the storys protagonist, Kimberly Harker, a 16 year old girl who along with her best friend Billy Malloy and the charming but rougish James Willow, use the key and travel through the Silver Door into Kalama.

They are trapped there, unable to return home and are the key targets in a war for control over the world of Kalama and, should they fall, their own world too.

With the assistance of an outcast Satyr prince named Mednik and the Dwarf named Rudar, Kim, James and Billy must gather the forces or Kalama and find Jack Langley if they are ever going to get home...and save their world from the forces of the Nightmare Storm.

So there you have it.

That is the story of the Kalama: Beyond The Silver Door in a nutshell.

I hope you like it and that you leave comments on improvements and opinions.

That's all for now. Until next time.
