Comments
Note to returning readers: Thanks for your great reviews on Amazon and Draft2Digital, even though The Sylph's Tale was published missing four chapters. Author and publishers will offer free copies to those who bought the incomplete book.
The screenplay: From ISA 2017 contest - "This has imagination and touches on the mythic and spiritual in ways that are not typical.”
On TableReadMyScreenplay.com (first paragraph of six pages) "The Sylph's Tale made for a most unusual read. It's very rare for a script to try something quite as experimental as this. The choice to format the story more as a series of vignettes from a creation myth than as a linear narrative made for an attention-grabbing opening. There is a certain charm to the way much of its dialogue and description is handled, as well as a lot of potential in the underlying themes of the story. Fallen angels appear in many stories, but it's far less common to see through the angels' own eyes." For source and all comments, see: From Paper to Screen

Ayekah and Haya are not evil but might have been taken over by dark powers, similar to Mesoamerican myths about beings of the underworld. Stone tablets in Utah.

Ayekah’s story:  The name Ayekah is found in Genesis 3:9. After Adam and Eve eat from the forbidden tree, God asked Adam, “Where are you?” which is Ayeka in Hebrew. Ayekah could be like Samael’s fallen angel myth, often referenced as the "watchers, holy ones" or the “holy ones.” Also, watchers that "fell" after they became "enamored" with human women.” and in “the Greek transcription as Grigori.[17] including Enoch (10.4),[18] links the angel's transgression with the great deluge.[19] 
Haya’s story: In mythology, strong women can be depicted as horned creatures as a way to portray their power as evil. Haya, the innocent, is akin to Lilith, Samael’s counterpart, and can seduce angels. Haya can mean “to live or “have life,” or ‘’to give” or “restore life” (Genesis 25:6, Joshua 3:10), lively (2 Samuel 23:20), and reviving (Genesis 18:10, 2 Kings 4:16). Also, Nashiym, the Lilim who seduced the watchers. Samael's counterpart and a mother of demons were seen seducing the fallen angels as Naamah; after the fall, they had daughters: Nashiym, the Lilim who seduced the watchers. “Wholly new in the Kabbalistic concept of Lilith is her appearance as the permanent partner of Samael, queen of the realm of the forces of evil (the Sitra Ahra).” And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood the dragon cast out of his mouth. Revelations 12:16.

The saga of mystery and otherworldly power continued when, in 1958, the first generation of female twins from Haya’s fetus was born. One is fertile and gives birth to twins. The infertile one is the watcher and guide.

As in Holy Writs, Naamah, after the fall, had daughters; the twins are as moss on a stone of destiny in what, at times, are terrifying ordeals. Beautiful and haunting, endowed with a sixth sense, they rebel, wanting but cannot deny that their otherworldly encounters are beyond their control.
Ayekah forms The Retais to control and influence his angels/humans, but they are fearless, even when confounded by ancestral writs, voices, and apparitions. There comes a time when not even Ayekah can alter events, and the last born are not twins. But two women are driven to learn what they suspect is their exact origin and to transform their destiny.
