Welcome to another
Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy snippets exchanged by writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/
My contribution this
week comes from Grand Master’s Pawn (Part 2 is Free today - 16th May).
Excerpt
The dragon swung his great
head to peer at her, perplexed by her lack of fear. Violet was fascinated. At
last, she stood next to one of the fabled dragon lords of Sythos. A fleeting
nudge at her collar marked the Grand Master’s interest.
“Your wing is injured,”
she said, reaching out her hand in sympathy.
His head recoiled and Ythris
hissed in distaste, “You are a Vron, an ugly human!”
“Yes, I’m a human. I have
permission to venture onto your lands,” Violet said firmly, refusing to be
overawed by the huge dragon. “Will you permit me to examine your broken wing,
Ythris?”
The dragon’s luminous eyes
blinked, and his head curled round to stare at the unusable wing, “I have
little choice. No one else has replied to my calls for help.” His head swiveled
until his long nose almost touched her face. Violet noted the curved white fangs
protruding from his jaws and the flat black scales over his narrow face. He was
deadly, yet she did not fear him.
