My books center around MCs bringing back Drazoen (dragons) that went away long ago. Each one embodies a color, and book 2 that just released is Songmaster Silver's book 😀 Snipped from a prophecy of the Jadoube species.

We are neither young nor old. Neither new nor aged. We are not originals like Lunari and Cho. We are not ingenue like ʘti and Rixat. We are Jadoube, a name bestowed by Songmaster Silver. A word to reflect how he imbued our world with waja and remade our souls to needle the Aoni. Jadoube: we adjust, we shift. Though he shaped us, he is not our father. Though he is Drazoen, he is not a deity. Though we thank him for his Gift, we do not owe him fealty or worship. Though others will say differently, that is their purview; we remain steadfast. We know we arose from the Cholgử in a time before recorded words. A time when Malor, our beloved parent, had fully formed and now yearned for companionship. Malor knew it was meant to give birth to offspring it could cherish and nurture. For many kōtuig it contemplated how best to bring about its calling.

The Paɬaˑč is the biggest artisan market in the universe, held once every three hundred years and lasting a full year. For book 3 of the Drazoen Heralds, it will happen on a planet covered in water.
This moment is from the opening ceremony 💙📚🪐
#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #WIPSnips
Milenyos of history and ritual dictated how the yptà moved. Their group kept pace, floating higher and higher, exhaling as they went, until they broke into open air, gulping huge breaths. Yemoja let the ceremony’s euphoria flood her, grinning and shouting with joy. Their cries were echoed a hundredfold by the crowds, thrilled, knowing the Paɬaˑč would begin in earnest.

The new people, most of whom Paul hadn’t yet met, had a thousand questions. His voice was getting hoarse from telling the tale of Sundancer, Katy and Bay. It wasn’t lost on him that he was truly acting as Sundancer’s emissary at that moment, rehashing the events from a few weeks back. “A nefeslo cage? I’m having a hard time even picturing it,” a bald woman with skin the color of skim milk said. “Somehow the Pu'ulqaari have turned their precious mud into a shadow prison capable of holding Drazoen?” “That’s what I was told,” Paul confirmed. “A collapsed dark star is part of the mix. Katy’s assassin, Yfaun, told her the cost to open them is death.”

Three kōmilen equivalent two hundred seventy thousand years. Paul almost fell out of his chair. How could they have something preserved so perfectly that was older than all of Human civilization? Nûz, he thought, were we even out of the trees by then? “Should you be touching that?” All the nawa looked at him like he’d burped the words. “I just mean it’s so old.” “The atmosphere on Malor was quite friendly to keeping things unspoiled,” Quý chuckled. “Very little moisture to damage documents before we perfected conservation and moved to digital.”

Light pollution this far beyond the shores of Washington State dropped to nearly zero. The farther northwest they flew, Katy beheld the night sky unfold before her like a blanket leisurely shaken to cover a bed. Stars ripened from distant cold pinpricks on a hazy charcoal background to brilliant gems piercing a velvety onyx ceiling, one she felt she could nearly touch. This was how the Universe painted its own Sistine Chapel. One equally sacred and grander in scale than the one in Rome. She saw an inky vault above Earth dotted with white, pink– and blue-tinted winking starlight. Closer stars were brighter, she knew, but between them stretched swaths of smaller jewels that looked like groundcover planted by cosmic titans in a time before Earth was fully formed.

Patrick lay on his back, staring at the sky just as she liked to do in the water. Paul folded his legs crossways and settled at her side. “We weren’t stalking you, promise. Someone told Paul he could come here and swim to get his excess energy out.” Patrick shook his head. “He hasn’t worked out or done gymnastics in days, so he’s going bonkers. You’ve always had too much pep, man.” Paul ignored his brother. Facing the nearby rainforest, his attention was all for a line of rufucebus. They swung by their tails on yellow raschai vines that wound around tree trunks and through branches, chittering and absently scratching their tiny bellies. “What are those?” He rolled to his knees, inching closer to them. “They’re adorable.” He stopped moving. “Are they carnivorous? That’s what always happens in the movies, the cute ones go for your throat.”

“Adena jo Kalda,” Swailu said, a gusty sigh preceding her next words. “There are many things about to be shared in the coming Calling. Things I’ve known but was unable to share before now. This, he, is one of them. Adena, whoever she was, looked older than Swailu, but even more kind, if that were possible. “I see. What are these things you have been keeping from me?” “The Kawakona is from a new species, and this is her brother. We thought to manage how to reveal this information, but it seems things have gotten out of our control.” Adena blinked once, then laughed. “That is the way of secrets, they seek any wind to fly free.”

Katy overwhelmed by the epic adventure she's embroiled in, and the start of a little romance.
“My brain is treacle, Bay,” Katy murmured, settling more firmly against him. “I thought I was smashing this whole ‘hey the Universe has a few surprises for you’, but I think I’m not that cool.”
Moving his hand over her shoulder and down her arm, he took her hand. “You are remarkable. Everything I could have imagined and more.” He squeezed her palm. Her anabolu scent teased his nose, both comforting and arousing.
Katy shifted, rotating to face him. Their hands separated, both of his coming to rest against the small of her back. She was cradled in his arms and it felt natural, easy, fated. Her palms stroked up around his biceps, and she leaned back to make eye contact. A mischievous smile played at the corners of her mouth. “You imagined me?”
“Of course,” he replied.

When you sneak onto the Wheel at Centris you're technically in violation of immigration rules; when you're a species not officially recognized and can't be understood, it can get worse than a fine

💙📚🪐

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
By the time they’d been rounded up, shoved into yet another damn cargo carrier, and whisked away to wherever holding chambers lived on this Wheel, Paul was over it. This trip had been an escapade at first, now it was tiresome and more than a little upsetting. What if they got ejected and sent back to an Earth busy destroying itself in panic? What if Katy had been full of shit all along and there was no dragon rescue? Where were their Mikanjo and Jadoube friends who’d so conveniently disappeared upon arrival? His anger mounting, amped by fear, Paul shoved back against the cop pushing him out of the hotel. All that got him was a vicious shoulder pinch that deadened a nerve for the rest of their walk to the prison barge. His family was loaded onto the vehicle and their cuffs secured to a bar running along the middle of the large platform. No sides or cover of any kind, everyone around them staring in shock and judgement as the Phelan family was locked into place by space jackboots. Helluva welcome to the Aoni.

Frelaasti frel-ash-tee; Nyakisi concept of liberty, freedom, home. Individualistic or personal. “Is that something your people see as a cause, a thing they’d fight for?” Paul was fascinated. “Or is it more of a ‘stay out of my business and I stay out of yours’ idea?” Na clapped his hands, startling everyone. “You have it exactly! My people are entirely selfish except when it comes to frelaasti. For that we will cut throats, lie cheat and steal.” “Not seeing the difference between usual Nyakisi mercenary attitudes and this frelaasti,” Olak piped up. She had an arm around Raisa, who was snuggled into the voice on a shared loveseat. “The difference,” Na replied, “is that when other people’s frelaasti is compromised, we’ll fight for that too.”

The initial sal-ang in the chamber didn’t go well. Deb vomited, sheer panic at the idea the vacuum of space was “only a window away!” making her sick. Brianna trembled, too, but not as bad as Deb. She’d thought the others might be equally challenged, but Patrick and Vasuda were cuddled together on a couch, dreamy smiles on their faces as they watched space move by. “Years ago, they went through a ‘shrooms phase,” Paul murmured. “This is probably nothing for them.” Martin wouldn’t stop moving long enough to look out the windows, far more interested in the furniture and construction materials. He and Kweza were having detailed training about layout and design on the Eternidad. A loud “marvelous!” erupted from different parts of the room every few kaalas.

A new character for book 3 WIP - Yemoja. She's a Tschuele, an all-female species who live on a world of water where diving is a way of life.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #scifantasy #WIPSnips
Thirty-seven divers clung loosely to ropes hanging from thirty-seven small boats.  Eyes closed, separated by no more than one or two swim strokes, breathing in sync. Yemoja wouldn’t need to watch her companions to time her dive. By this, her fourth performance, it was second nature. That didn’t make it less special, and a shivering rush of anticipation flooded her. She led, and younger women may look to her for their first time.

💙🪐📚
#WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #SFF
In all her years of reading fairy tales and adventures, she’d never considered what the heroes felt in these moments. The gut-clenching, bowel-emptying, voice-stealing fright. Her eyes wouldn’t close, or move away from Yfaun’s cruel grin. She couldn’t gather her voice, call him names, beg for mercy. No aoiti to explain what nasty name he’d just called her, no Air to comfort her. Utter paralysis of spirit and body. He reached out and slapped her once more, just because he could, or because it was fun for him. This jostled her body enough that the pendant slid up to the hollow of her throat, catching his eye.

12 days of Descant day three Paul Phelan knows he’s a lot more than just the older brother of a Drazoen Herald. Katy woke up one of those dragons (so she says), but he’s going to travel on a spaceship to the center of the Universe to see what’s what for himself. And he’ll keep the rest of his family safe and in line at the same time. Why, he can slide right into the role of Next Herald on Deck, thank you very much. He teaches gymnastics to little kids; how much harder can it be to wake up a sleeping dragon? He’ll get right on it. Once he’s figured out how intergalactic politics, food replicators, and rogue spaceships work.
