The relationship between demons, dragons, and fairies and "imagination" can be traced back to Dari texts after Islam - which is the dominant aspect of post-Islamic literature - in epics, stories in verse and prose, and oral narratives. Demons and fairies, which had a negative, evil, and antagonistic function in the biopolitical arena before Islam, rose to the level of narrative in Dari texts after Islam and became the cornerstone of Iranian fantastic literature. This is where demons, fairies, and magicians are exiled to the realm of imagination and begin a new life. From this time on, demons and fairies become fantasy and acquire a literary and narrative function and a human aspect, and the process of "aestheticizing the monstrous" takes shape. After Islam, language becomes a vehicle for creating wonder, and later, harmful creatures that had a ritual-mythical and political quality in the pre-Islamic period acquire a literary-narrative function.
