Enjoy a little
distraction from pandemic worries. Meet writers in various genres and read 8-10
sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample their work.
My fiction writing is temporarily
on hold while I convert my course to an online format. Meanwhile, I’m offering
snippets from Cosmic Lock, the sixth
book in my epic science fantasy series. The book is available at all major
vendors.
This week, I’ll continue
the scene where empath Violet and her 13-month old son Varan are visiting their
dragon friends. In previous snippets you met Ythris, the Black Dragon, his
mate, Silver Istrelle, and their son Istros.
You can read last week’s
snippet at https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2020/08/welcome-to-anothersunday-with.html
The final lines were: Istrelle pointed her muzzle to an opening in the
side of the main cave. “They are sleeping in there.”
This week, we move to another couple of Violet’s dragon friends.
Violet asked, “Have they
recovered from the flight across the fiery Rift?”
“My brother fares well, although
blue Elfrise remains weakened by the arduous transit.”
“If you will watch our sons, I’ll
examine the blue dragoness.” Leaving Varan with Istros and his indulgent dragon
parents, Violet crossed to the newly excavated chamber. The flame of an oil
lamp lit the two betrothed dragons lying in an alcove at the rear of the cave.
Copper-scaled Seltos was curled
protectively around the smaller blue dragon. He raised his head, blinked his
amber eyes, and whispered, “Zyzost Violet, my mate is feeble still. Will you
heal her?”
“Of course. That’s why I came.”
That’s the end of the official snippet. Read on if you’d like a little more.
She knelt beside him and Seltos
lifted his wing to expose Elfrise’s head. Her eyes were shut and her steel-blue
scales looked grayer than usual. Violet sensed her weariness and low spirits.
Placing her hand on the dragon’s neck, she emoted healing empathy.
Elfrise exhaled a short hiss. One
eyelid cracked open, and she murmured, “Vron Violet, your touch fills me with
new life.”
“I owe you a debt for carrying me across the Cosmic Rift.”

A nice snippet that shows her powers and relationship with the dragons.
ReplyDeleteThanks - you've got the correct idea.
DeleteI'm enjoying the relationship between dragons and humans.
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
DeleteNice powers to have, and I'm glad she's using them to help the dragons.
ReplyDeleteIf you read the book, you'll see that she also tries to heal her enemies.
DeleteA debt paid and a friendship sealed. Nice scene, Aurora!
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder, is she just weakened by travel, or is there something more ominous at work?
ReplyDeleteYou'll have to read the previous book to learn why she is weak.
DeleteActually, they've been friends since the previous book and Violet has known Seltos since the first book!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cool bond they share. Really interesting story unfolding here. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you find it interesting.
DeleteEnjoyed the snippet very much! I'm glad she was able to use her power to help her dragon friends...a nice little moment.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. It's a pleasant interval between battles of various sorts.
DeleteThese tame dragons (more tame than others I've read of) are fascinating. I hope she can heal the weak one.
ReplyDeleteThey only seem tame in this snippet because they are Violet's friends. They're scary in action.
DeleteSuch a fantastical world you've built. I like that she can heal them--and that she's repaying a debt she wouldn't have had to pay.
ReplyDeleteThe previous book had a major theme based on Violet's promise to rescue kidnapped children.
DeleteI love the connection between the dragons and the human.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad it's obvious.
DeleteI love their relationship and support, and even healing. Interesting world you've created.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's become a very complex world.
DeleteI love the relationships you portrayed. The baby dragon and the human child, the friendship between humans and dragons and also the love between the dragons and their mate. I love seeing these interactions. Love this snippet!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled you love them.
