A scene selected from the book.
When the two realities begin to overlap, what is occurring in one story is happening in real time in the other world. Belinti and Artemis both exit into the hallway of the hotel both are staying in. He feels her presence and she can sense him being close by but neither knows what is happening. At one point they end up on the elevator together, sort of... Each in their own reality. When she speaks, he screams in fear of the unknown. Here is this seven-foot tall, muscular build, powerful presence sort of figure of a man and he is terrified of what he thinks is a spirit of someone who passed away is haunting him. This leads the pair to an empty ballroom when music plays, and they see one another for the first time.
“Sometimes what makes us unique isn’t easy to see on the surface. We must hide it from the world and in turn, we ourselves become lost to what we are rather than embracing who we are.” - Manal

“The only way I will ever emerge from the darkness is to expose my light to the world, and not let it be hidden any longer by a cloak of shadows.” - Artemis
Origin Story:
A Different Idea
The original concept was that the story starts out with a man having recently lost his wife to a long term illness. This would later be reflected in the death of the mother of Artemis in how she knew she was dying months before she passed. The man joins the talent competition to honor the memory of his wife who was a singer that never fulfilled her dream of doing so on stage.
​
He has no singing talent at all but goes anyway because he wants to feel a connection with her. When he attempts to sing, much to his surprise, he does so beautifully. The spirit of his wife gives him the ability to accomplish this miracle. Eventually people see her with him on stage. This is reflected in the final chapter where the Artemis and Belinti are together, one being a type of spiritual light.
​
The story was too depressing to write. Starting off that way was too painful for the author to proceed with the idea. So, he shelved the idea for years until he discovered the concept of a Twin Flame. That led to the idea of two people from separate parallel worlds existing next to one another, aware of the other's existence. Connecting with each other on a spiritual level felt perfect.
​
The author wanted them to be unique and that's when he thought of the sun and the moon. That concept molded their appearance. Also, it was then he had the idea of bringing Gemini, the Tagonist Knight, into the story playing a role in both narratives. Her name meaning "twin" each time hinting at the truth.
​
By pure coincidence it was his 20th book published at the end of 2020. Twins, Twin Flame, Two, all being themes. He couldn't have planned it better. Perfect.
“Sometimes how we connect with someone else can't be put into words, it is an experience that only the soul can feel.” - Tammy
Easter Eggs and Inspiration
The author knew that Tammy and Nashota would be the same person, somehow existing in two separate worlds at the same time. What better way to introduce the world to Gemini, Knight of the Rose. She became the second appearance of a Tagonist Knight, the other being Paradox who played an increasingly larger role within the Sunfire Chronicles. Having the opportunity to use the text created for this website into one of his novels was an incredible moment for him. It allowed him to explain how this wonderful union between Artemis and Belinti took place and present one of the Tagonist Knights.
“If you are to be both damsel and dragon, I will adorn myself in my armor to save you from your own forked tongue and to protect the gentle soul that I first met.” – Artemis
