Mando'a Novels & Stories

Acasia I was away from Bastian and in the presence of another woman. It was difficult not to jump up and down with excitement but I acted reserved so I wouldn't scare Nikka away. Brunya had spoken aloud, and Bastian told me they could so I knew earth humans spoke. Another female named Mandy joined us. She was as excited to meet me as I was to meet her. She explained that she was a wolf and human mix and that Nikka was mountain lion and human. Since I now knew dragons shifted, I had no trouble accepting what she told me. I had so many questions about their realm, and Mandy patiently answered for about three minutes.

MARINA I ducked as my mother threw her plastic bowl at me. It missed my head by a few inches. Milk and cheerios splattered all over the wall and the floor.

Amara’s POV The platform is twenty-three nautical miles off Lagos—rusted legs rising from black water like the skeleton of something prehistoric that refused to die. We approach at 02:17 local time under a moonless sky. No running lights. Engines cut at two miles out. Small black inflatable carries six of us: me, Leo, Kai, Zara, Elena, and Tunde—former Nigerian Navy diver, twenty-nine, eyes like chipped obsidian, recommended by one of Kai’s clinic contacts. He hasn’t spoken more than six words since we met him yesterday. He doesn’t need to. The way he checks his rebreather and straps the suppressed carbine says enough.

"Why?" Bianca looked at the tablet in Leo’s hand. A new message was scrolling across the screen. UNKNOWN SIGNAL DETECTED. ORIGIN: ANTARCTICA. MESSAGE: 'ARE YOU STILL THERE?'

There is a hidden secret in the deep underground river, and there are all kinds of towering trees growing in the underground river. Although I have never seen the trees, this scene is a very spectacular and wonderful place just by imagining it!!"

We usually have a good laugh over their burning corpses. It takes me a day of flying to reach her island. Made of 5 interlocking volcanoes set in the middle of the Great Western Ocean, Vatra is Ona’s personal paradise. Still close enough to the mainland to retrieve any goods or services she might desire, but also far enough away that she isn’t bothered most of the time. Very few dragons, and even fewer humans, want to make the trek. This usually guarantees our privacy.
