Discussion: A Matter of Nature

So you have the Iak'shovise. Now, like with any Scintasy creation - race, ability or other - they all have a place in their created worlds and realms. The important thing to consider though, just like with any good story is the fact that something needs a definite beginning, middle and end. As I said you have the Iak'shovise and they have both a beginning, middle and end. The proposed details I spoke about in an earlier post, are without undeniable doubt the middle.

So where did the Iak'shovise come from? One certainty is that their abilities are like that of any defence mechanism in any creature. It's there to ensure the survival and continued propagation of the species. From what, is where the real question lays. Human Beings are at the top of the food chain; so what type of predator would there have to be for human intelligence to not suffice as a defence mechanism? Something that I will tell you is that the 'middle' Iak'shovise are no where near maximising their potential in their abilities as the 'beginning' and 'end' do. This is a strong indication that this 'predator' was around then disappeared and then it or something equally as frightening crept out of the very rocks forcing those with the Ghar'ivisu abilities to find their hidden niches once again. It's all a matter of nature.

I'll just clarify what I'm going on about. Iak'shovise are the people with the abilities, however the abilities are known as Ghar'ivisu. The main point of this post was generally beginning to flesh out an idea I could potentially use in a series of short stories or maybe even a novel.
