Tales of the Wizard Lyr: Mysteria Herodotus and her Griffons. Andrey Ogonkov

      Preface

      Back in the days of yore, between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a wizard named Lear lived in the beautiful land of Ireland. His life was unusual and full of trials. The majestic Lear was imprisoned by Queen Serlaila, who longed to use his unique magical abilities to conquer new lands. Lear repeatedly saved the queen from insidious plots, predicting her future and helping her overcome her difficulties.

      However, few people knew that the wizard Lear found his writing vocation by accident. Tormented by boredom and a thirst for creativity, he decided to write fairy tales inspired by letters sent to him by his beloved Miretta. In these letters she told him of her adventures and her search for magic, dreaming of a reunion with Lear.

      One day Queen Serlaila read some of these tales and, admiring their beauty, decreed that Lear must compose two tales a week. Otherwise, she threatened to deprive the wizard of a finger for each tale that failed to meet the deadline. Incredibly, Miretta, this brave and dedicated soul, spent nearly fifteen years traveling, exploring the world and gathering inspiration for new stories of magic. She hoped that one day she would be able to reunite with her beloved Lear and give him her own amazing stories.

      So begins our story of the wizard Lear, his magical abilities, his creative path and the great love that overcomes time and obstacles. Immerse yourself in the world of magic and fairytale adventures that await us on the pages of this book.

      Tales of the Wizard Lyr: Mysteria Herodotus and her Griffons

      The sorceress Mysteria Herodotus was only ten years old when she learned of her rare disease, which resulted in sluggish speech, a puffy face, and bulging eyes. But despite her physical peculiarities, she was always able to clearly distinguish between right and wrong. Mysteria noticed that many people in her surroundings, though they looked normal, suffered from an inner sickness that manifested itself in their actions. This is why she considered her illness to be insignificant compared to what others were experiencing. After all, the most frightening thing is the invisible illness, which causes much more damage.
