Copper -scaled Seltos and steel-blue Elfrise - snippet from COSMIC LOCK for #WeWriWa #SciFi
Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors .
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.”
