I've had serious writer's block for a while, mostly for a lack of inspiration. The ideas I come up with nowadays are entirely unoriginal and incoherent, even to me. However, after a dream I had just last night, I think I have new material...
In the world, there’s more magic than we imagine. Mystical creatures (pixies, shape-shifters, “ghosts”, vampires, and even some “humans”) hide their existence from humans. Although their numbers are few compared to that of humans, they hold a power so great that all of Earth could be overtaken should they abuse it.
Izan knows this. He begins an organization of Titans (extremely powerful Phantoms) that despise the human race. Together, he and his followers work to enslave humans (and even fellow—weaker—Phantoms). The members of this organization are brilliant killing machines, but they’re all fools: Izan may playact as the puppet master, but a greater force pulls the strings. After humans are bent to the Titans’ will, the Titans, and all Phantoms except one, will be destroyed. From there, power’s greatest coveter will reign.
Little do the Titans know, four Phantoms can’t rest easy with the world in peril.
Mallory is the Touch.
Candace is the Sound.
Henry is the Smell.
Eli is the Sight.
These orphaned vagabonds joined forces years ago by a chance meeting. Now, they fight on the side of justice, where good and evil collide. When they learn of the Titans’ declaration of war against humans and Phantoms alike, they cannot wait and see. They must take action to protect the future, the lives they’ve built for themselves, the entire human race, and the Phantoms who can’t.
What do you think? Are things like this overdone in teen/adult fiction? Is it a stupid idea? What might I add or remove to make this plot more interesting or exciting? Do you want character bios to look over?
