Asiri and the Amaru (Pisqu Sweet and Sour, #1)

by Natalia Hernandez

Kuntur, as the noble soarer, had a direct connection to Hanan Pacha, the realm of the dioses above.4 Puma was a representative of Kay Pacha, the realm in which most living creatures reside and where humans and so many other beings dwell. And finally, Katari had access to Ukhu Pacha, the realm of not only the dead but also of new life.

Asiri did find it rather inconvenient that in order to hear the messages within the center of the universe she had to die each time, but as it was unavoidable, she had grown quite used to it.

Asiri was able to speak in the pachas but she found it best not to, as she did not want to attract any added attention from either the supay or the dioses.

“I have always wanted to see the ocean,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the roaring crash of the waves.

She was in the center of north, south, east, and west, between the layers of Ukhu Pacha, Kay Pacha, and Hannan Pacha.

“No, you cannot leave Casa de Murmuros. I won’t allow it,” her father replied, turning his back on her, moving towards the exit.

a particularly chismoso breed of birds.

Then she turned around, and with every last scrap of her courage, headed towards the coast.

He draped a heavy arm over her, and she felt instantly bathed in warmth. With a happy smile, Asiri fell asleep.

A dream

It is one thing to kidnap me from my home, it is another to make me witness pathetic attempts at human mating rituals! Cease your flirtations and put me down!”

“Gracias Pepe, I love you too, buddy.”

There aren’t really winged part-llama, part-fish, part-snake creatures out there!”

Ever since he was young, people told him that he came on too strong, that he was too loud, too animated, too passionate. Too much.

Across the riverbank was an Amaru.

“men were a waste of time and women were much more fun.”

“It’s been seven years,

Don’t I deserve a life outside of Miguel?”

“A snake to guide me through Ukhu Pacha. A cougar for Kay Pacha, and a condor for Hanan Pacha.”

I bring you a perfectly good option for getting to Hanan Pacha, but you throw it in my face!

She could only watch in awe as they cut through the space between them until both were within arm’s reach. With a blinding flash of light, Felipe reverted back to his regular form, tiny body trembling with effort.

With a gasp, Asiri’s hand flew up to clutch at her mother’s necklace,

“Don’t be sorry. This is who you are. Your gift is incredible, just like you. I was worried, but also amazed. I am in awe of you, Asiri.”

“Marco is yelling from the back room … and threatening to set this whole place on fire.”
