In case some of the characters didn’t tip you off, Magic of Myths: Faerie  is based around and – more importantly – after Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In our story, the classic play has been written and performed… and someone from the Faerie kingdom is brutally unhappy with it. So much, that something must be done. Alas, an event is already happening that will change the realm of Faerie forever – and have massive consequences on the overall Magic of Myths storyline.

Eagle-eyed Magic of Myths readers will have noticed this isn’t the first time we’ve referenced Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in the series. Why this is will be revealed over time…

These are the last three main characters of Magic of Myths: Faerie – Mercury, Hermes and “Greenie”. While they have small parts in the story, their actions are significant.

Those who are familiar with Magic of Myths to date will know it involves Greek and Roman deities co-existing, and this story marks the first appearance of Hermes (Greek messenger, god of trade, thieves, travelers, sports; guide to the Underworld) and Mercury (Roman messenger, god of financial gain, travelers, luck, trickery, thieves; guide to the Underworld). Both are visiting Faerie, and neither leaves the same by the end of the tale – something which impacts the events seen in Magic of Myths: season two.

“Greenie”, on the other hand, is entirely new to Magic of Myths. He’s our version of the archetypical nature deity and the sage of Faerie. Robin relies on him for advice, which is something very much required given the events of the story…
