FAST FACTS:
Bheriya means wolf in Hindi.
Daphne DeArbour means Daphne of tree which is a play at the heritage of the name Daphne (The tree spirit).
Her friend Cassie in the beginning is actually based on Cassandra the seer in ancient Greek mythology. The prophecy and language I used as the language of Bheriya is Hindi.
I don´t speak Hindi but I discovered the wonders of Google translator and thought Hindi to be a beautiful and fitting language to use.
Bheriya is a magical realm I invented. It is supposed to be an island somewhere near the coast of India.
Lycans are in Greek mythology. The first Lycan was a girl whose name translated was Laurel. Seeing as the original name was ancient Greek, her name was really Daphne (Which is ancient Greek for Laurel).
Artemis and Apollo (the coyotes) are twins like the God/dess Artemis and Apollo.
Adonis is also Greek mythology.
The reason Artemis is a coyote is because I like them better and a wolf or dog would have been too obvious.
The chant Daphne used in the battle at the ball is Hindi and means:
"dark she-wolf
rise from your prison
fight the enemy
for me
your queen
so I command you
so you shall do
rise within me
and send this beast to the fires of hell
so I command you
so you shall do!"
Oh, and in my world Peter does not exist, Lily marries James, they LIVE, Voldemort doesn`t exist, Remus marries Marlene (sorry Tonks!), Sirius marries Daphne (YAY!) and everyone has their happy ever after!
