Alisa Jeruconoka - Guest Blog

Today I'm happy to introduce you to fellow-author Alisa Jeruconoka!
Alisa was born in Latvia but moved to London at a young age. Always one who enjoyed school, she eventually went to University to study medicine. However she did not stay in medical studies, but got a job as a professional interpreter/translator for a private multinational corporation.  After working in that position for ten years, Alisa got married and decided to start a family.  A decision to work freelance during this time freed up more time to write!
Today she'll tell us a little about her novel, "Unparallel Worlds", currently available at Amazon!  Welcome Alisa!

Thankyou Amy for this fantastic opportunity to represent my otherworldly YA Fantasynovel "Unparallel Worlds" on your blog. Today I've decided to introduce thecharacters from the Dark side of the multidimensional planet Adriana. I hopethat a dialogue between Zalion, the King of Darkness, and Troian, the Prince ofDarkness, will help the readers just a little bit more to solve the mystery inthe book.

Zalion, the King of Darkness, was fifty years old but still handsomeand fit. The only thing that exposed his true age was his hair, which was thecolour of ash. The corners of his mouth drooped, and he never smiled. He wasfamous for his cruel punishment, exclusive methods of torture and advancedblack magic.
Zalion held a long crooked staff in his left hand. Many livesdepended on this staff, and it was not only those who were found guilty thatreceived punishment. Sometimes a wrong word or gesture was enough.
Today, one of his countless slaves brought the rumours that he, theKing of Darkness, is getting weaker and no longer can control the Dark Army.Zalion decided to call one of his younger sons Troian, the Price of Darkness,to discuss the matter.
Troian: Father, did you call? (Troian kneeled before a jade crystalthrone where Zalion was sitting in the centre of the room. Troian waitedpatiently for Father's permission to join him. It doesn't mater that Troian washis son. If Zalion was angry one strike of the staff and the floor would beripped apart, and Troian would be sent down to the steel mines or, the worstpunishment, to the experiment cells.)
Zalion: My son, come and join me. Did you hear the rumours that …thatI'm loosing my strength?
Troian:Father,who dare to confront you or to say anything against your will?
Zalion:Answerme!
Troian:Ioverheard the warriors of the Dark Army talking...
Zalion:Nonsense. Giant piranhas, monster fish, squids, dragons, harpies, serpents,chimerasCAN'T THINK. In the experiments cells I did create my hybrids carefullycombining the genes of animals, plants, birds and insects. I didn't implant thebrain cells in them. It must be somebody who can analyse the situation. May bethat's why I called YOU. (Zalion's eyes were fixed on his son).
Troian:Father,I'm a hybrid. My younger brothers are hybrids too. Valafar is a cross of a dogand a wolf and he is very happy with his pack wondering in the forest andlooking for a pray. Ammit, in his serpent body, loves to spend all the timeunderground with his co-brothers. But Leonard, our older brother, I wouldconsider him as a threat. Technically speaking we are not brothers. As ahalf-breed vampire I can feel that his heart beats. I can feel only two heartsbeating in the kingdom of Darkness, Leonard's…and yours Father. (Troian addedquietly).
Zalion: Hmm…What do youknow about me?
Troian: Youbrought up four of us as tough warriors and you taught us about the existenceof the Empire of Light and the Golden Ones.  You told us how devious they are and your friends andparents died trying to restore the justice. 
Zalion didn't say a word as he wasthinking of something.
Troian: Father,we all have tattoos on our right hand what does it represent? Or is it justdecoration?
Zalion: It is a phoenix, a symbol ofovercoming adversity, of renewal, physical strength and courage. The tattoo isthe family's royal symbol of resurrection and a long fight against betrayal.
Troian: Howbig do you think the universe is? I have never seen anything apart of Darkness.
Zalion: In eternity I wasn't always the king of monsters, beasts and fabledcreatures. I wasn't always full of envy and wanting revenge. I was the King ofthe lands filled with happiness and joy until my people started mutating. Wehad to find the cure and very fast. My scientists worked days and nights andthe only solution they found; it was that my people was exposed too long to thedarkness and to restore the vital balance we need to find the light essence tosurvive.
Troian: As I can guess you didn't find the cure and your people died that'swhy you did create the loyal allies of the Army of Darkness.
Zalion: Yes and No. The Light Side does exist but it governs by theheartless king whose people were enjoying the life while mine was dying. At themoment my arms are tight. I can't restore the justice without breaking theDominion's treaty. That's why, Troian, I can't afford rebels in the Dark Armybecause the Justice Day is coming even quicker than I thought.
