Synopsis

First Book of the Mind - Celesi Veil Trilogy A Remembrance of one's Life, or a Life of one's Remembrance, four girls from different corners of a fantasy world's upper society are suddenly faced with memories of earth. A story of another world, these four girls, awakened to memories of another life, now have twice the trouble to worry about, as they work to discover the truth hidden behind the cause. As this story was inspired by the act of language translation, the story does feature a new world with a multitude of foreign concepts, one being a brand new language with a completely unique phonetic style.  There is in fact two new very similar languages, both Izhaethyx and Elaethyx (the language of humans and elves, though “izh” translates close to “normal”, because humans are like that).  Related to both languages (both have the same phonetic style, just different sentence structures and words), most Q-sounds are like a windy k-sound, so like Qicir is Kweas-ir… and might actually sound like sounds from a certain fantasy bird from a certain fantasy series now that I think about it (Yes, there are popculture gaming references everywhere in this story).  Qtehlatys is then a quick hard K-and-t whistle, with no real feeling of a vowel between (like you are blowing on your tongue), with then a tongue roll, and a “layth-S” (hard s-ending), like it was two syllables, sorta three with that sudden S (human family names tend to end in a sudden hard sound, elven ones are generally softer and drawn out at the end).  Wyxir phonetically sounds like you’re trying to say wyvern and weather at the same time (similar idea on their royal family’s last name).  Considering that Qictae and Wyxtae are effectively Eastward and Westward, neither name are actually very creative to the locals.  Possibly suspicious by now, they have no o-sound at all, and there are plenty of y-forms.  Elaethyx also originally co-opted a lot of Izhaethyx words because their language never bothered with anything outside their cultures (still being as related to each other as earth’s Latin-based language variants.. so not much really).  Hopefully, the other names aren’t as insane to phonetic for people.  This is also only phonetics, lets not even start on their writing systems.  This should be enough to get a reader started, after all. This story does not sustain a static flow, it begins with four prelude chapters, and then things start to happen.  From there, everything will develop and evolve overtime.  This is both important for consideration in material so that a reader can understand if this is a good read for them, and to note that not every tag or genre matching this story will be in effect at the start of the story.  In the same context of story evolution, the tag "Reincarnation" is actually heavily questioned, one of the biggest questions of the story is if it is a matter of reincarnation, or of getting the memories of another.  The tag has been included only because of this matter of uncertainty, where characters involved are left wondering if this had happened or not.  It is highly recommended to not begin reading resolved that the answer is simply reincarnation, and to instead explore the question in more depth.  Please be aware that, although this story is marked for profanity, its usage is both rare and constantly censored (please let me know if you see a word that should also be censored but got missed, I'm very complacient in this, as it's technically not in my nature to have used such profanity at all).
