Features: As the Wheel of Time turns, the passage of years comes and goes like the wind, leaving behind memories that later become legends. Legends turn into myths, and when the era they were born in cycles back again, even myths are forgotten by people. In the Third Age, the Age of Prophecy, the world and time are in a delicate balance. The past, present, and future may all fall into the grasp of the shadowy magic. When reading successful fantasy stories, we all feel joy. The source of this joy is the glimpse we get into the hidden reality and truth within the story. Fantasy literary works set in the medieval world, in the mouths of storytellers and the hands of creators, originally only had the city-state culture of knights, farmers, and castles, but added supernatural creatures like elves, dragons, and magical magic, adding many fantastical dreams to the monotonous medieval world. The heroes of the sea adventure in Homer's epic "The Odyssey," the single-handed Nordic warrior Beowulf, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, are all famous products of fantasy literature.
