"What has this to do with my egg?"


 
Welcome to my eight sentences from Return of the Crown.  I have joined with writers from around the globe, each Sunday, to share just a little morsel of writing for your literary palate.  Check out other writers at WeWriWa for some savory bites.  There's something to satiate near every appetite.
This week I take up where we left off last week, Ravyn is still pleading her case with the dragon. If you need to refresh your memory please click Right Here! 
 
“The King and Queen are dead, Zelera is the Empress now.  Even we dragons know the story.”

“My parents are very much alive, as am I.   My mother cast a spell of protection and invisibility over me when Zelera attacked us.  Now, that spell is unraveling, and I’m trying to get back to Veris to rescue them.”

“A quest-to return the crown.  Noble.  But what has this to do with my egg?”
 
If these snippets are just aren't enough to fill your craving for fantasy, for $2.99 you can spice up your Kindle with Ravyn's adventures by clicking this link.
I hope you all have a delightful Sunday.  I'm looking forward to relaxing, with my feet up, and teasing myself with just a slice of this story and a snack of that one...and a bit of that teaser too!

  3. Boy, that dragon has a one-track mind! Though that's understandable. Awesome story, and a wonderful eight!

  4. So the spell of protection was actually cast over Ravyn *and* her parents? Dragons, magic, fought-over kingdoms, what's not to like! :-D

  20. Haha! A one track mind--the egg. And her maternal instinct is a nice touch. You've teased me long enough, Millie. I just bought Return of the Crown. :-) It might take me a bit to get to it. I have to finish a couple I've agreed to review. :-)
