For part A, I have watched first and second secrets. The first video talked a lot about how common it is in mythologies for male deities to abuse female deities who were once well-adorned. To keep my story accurate with common mythologies, I may throw an abusive man into my heroine story. I plan to use a character like Kronos in my storybook who will plan to take down Abahya. Ultimately, Abahya will take down Kronos, showcasing the woman-centered societies that the first video also talks about.
In the second video, there was a specific type of mythical creature mentioned that I would like to incorporate into my storybook. The creature is called a pitr, and it hangs upside down like a bat. Pitrs hang in the land of the dead, where I want Abahya to go. There, a pitr will prey upon her and attempt to make her his wife so he can father children. Yet again, Abahya will escape the man.
