Okay, this is going to be long so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. I researched Greek mythology and found different gods and goddesses that had some influence over the elements that i needed to one day be controlled by one person.
The Silver Eyes had to come from somewhere, so i had to find a way to get all of the powers into one. Each of the gods have power over the individual elements... These are who i came up with:
Thalassa: The Primeval goddess of the sea
Aether: Primeval god of light
Erebus: Premeval god of the darkness of night and the netherworld
Nyx: Goddess of the night
Dryads: Female spirits of nature
Helios: God of the sun
Oceanus: God of the vast ocean
Hephaestus: God of fire
Poseidon: King of the sea and god of earthquakes
Kapheira: The aura of strong winds
Hesione: Goddess of foreknowledge
Prometheus: God of forethought
Now that i had these i had to find a way to breed them together
Then i had to write out the History. Remember most of this i did so that i could get my thoughts straight, but since none of this ever comes into the story in full... i thought i'd like to share it somewhere.
Thalassa was the daughter of Aether and Hemera. She was the primeval goddess of the Sea. Her parent gave her the genes of darkness and light, night and day.
Erebus(Darkness) Aether (light) Thalassa (Sea)
Nyx (Night) Hemera (Day)
Thalassa fell in love with a human man and they had three childre, only one of which had children of their own. For generations Thalassa and her family's genes were passed down. Over time, as the Earth progressed and began colonizing planets, a new race was created.
The Shadow Walkers were able to move among the shadows and control them. They populated a planet called Leboc.
The Elements can be seen as a cross.
Fire is formed from Hot/Dry
Air is formed from Hot/ Wet
Water is formed from Wet/ Cold
Earth is formed from Cold/ Dry
Gods that were attached to the elements were Zeus for air, Hera for Earth, Persephone for Water, and Hades for Fire. The influence of Zeus and Hera's Air and Earth were passed down to their son, Hephaestus, God of Fire.
Hephaestus had a fling with a young woman he saw running through an open feild and thus passed on his and his family's genes.
The Genes were passed on through generations of development and evolution, until a young man named Jonathan Speed met a part nymph woman, Fay Vinea, who happened to be the descendant of Poseidon.
Together Oceanus and Tethys had Kapheira. Kapheira and a human man had a child and her's and her father's geners of water and air were passed on through generations.
Poseidon fell in love briefly with a descendant of Kapheira and added royal power over the sea and power over Earth to the gene pool.
The descendant, possessing the genes with Water, Earth, and Air was walking through the woods one day and encountered a Dryad. Plant was now also a part of the gene pool in the form of a daughter, who happened to be the young woman that Jonathan Speed fell in love with. Together they had a son.
Pontos, the primeval god of water, and Gaia had Eurybia, the goddess of power over the sea, who had a son with her husband Krios. From their son came a very powerful line of merpeople that could control water.
One of these merpeople fell in love with Aegea, daughter of Helios and Perse, and combined the line of water controllers with very powerful fire genes in the form of a son.
This young man met a woman from a distant planet of Leboc on Equol. The massive water power genes unlocked Thalassa's sea genes. Their daughter, Nora Glass, now possessed genes with powerful Water, Shadow, and Fire powers.
The son of Jonathan Speed, Aberdale, met Nora and put together a combination of Water, Air, Plant, Earth, Shadow, and Fire in Laurel Speed, their daughter.
Thus Silver Eyes were born and populated the planet of Equol, which was at the time a fairly new and unpopulated Planet. As thousands of years passed the Silver Eyes became a more developed race. With more time they began to die out. By the time the story begins Izzy, Oliver, and their Dad are the only living Silver Eyes that they knew about. Their Grandfather, Ross Speed, was one as well.
Hesione, daughter of Oceanus, was goddess of "knowing" and "foresight" and fore knowledge. She and her husband, Prometheus, the god of forethought, gifted Aberdale Speed with mental abilities beyond elemental powers. And so every few generations a Silver Eye is born with that ability.
Oliver Speed is the first in a long enough time that people had forgotten the genes or power even existed.
SO there's my history of the Silver Eyes. If you actually read it then i hope it was educating and entertaining and i hope you don't hate me for wasting your time :) I had fun putting it together. I hope it makes sense... I could very easily have gotten things confused... HOPE NOT
