![]() ![]() My favorite mythical watcher in fiction is Merlin from the Arthurian legend. And, like a god, he chooses not to always interfere unless it’s for the greater good. He is like a god because he changes the destiny of others for a greater good (an entire people). He also represents hope and acts as a catalyst to keep hope alive. His presence allows me to push the protagonist truly beyond the brink and eventually be saved. ![]() How did Felix evolve and how do I perceive his function? He evolved as an instrument of light to help others survive so his own world would survive. In the end he suffers and is a martyr for the greater good so his people can go on. Sometimes Felix is there, like a lifeguard, and sometimes he’s watching and you simply sense his presence, more like a god. He connects to both the earthly and the other-worldliness in my characters. In my suspense novel, A Human Element, I created The Man in Black (Felix) as a watcher. ![]()
