    Red face Relics: What Would Yours Be and Why?

    Throughout religions and christianity many relics have made history but never actually been founded.
    Like the Arch of the Covenant for example which still remains a mystery because it still not been found.
    So if you were to create a relic in say a book what would yours be and why?

    I watched the animated Disney series "Gargoyles" when I was much younger. I want the "Eye of Odin" relic from that series, but only if I can time travel with it! ^^

    That would be because it doesn't exist. There is however an "Ark of the Covenant"!

    I s’pose if I were to create a story that included a relic, it’d have to be about a snake-oil salesman type of person who travelled around the country with a sweet potato in a jar of methylated spirits, told everybody it was John the Baptist’s genitalia, and inveigled men to touch it with the promise that by so doing, it would cure both impotence and brewer’s droop. Why would I write such a story? Answer, it’s never been done before, and would sell like hot cakes.

    I am already a relic...

    This sounds like something for my fantasy story that I haven't worked on a lot. Really, I don't know, because I'm still trying to flesh out the setting. This also would work for my science fiction and other stories, but I haven't put much effort into those. Now for Ex Tenebris Lux, I don't know if there will be any relics. I haven't put much thought into it. Right now, I'm focused on finishing up the first draft and planning out the second draft, especially how I'm going to make the characters more believable and improvements to the plot.
