Excerpt
“Thor’s blood!” Croaked Gizurr.
“Sshh!” responded Ragni, his face only inches away, his eyes wide with terror as he peered out into the surrounding forest.
The forest fell silent as the beast neared their position. Within seconds, it appeared out from behind a large tree. With a deftness that belied is huge frame it leapt into the centre of a nearby forest clearing. The beast’s black eyes narrowed as its lizard-like face lifted upwards to sniff the air.
A high pitched whine emanated from its heavily scaled black throat and it moved its head side to side rhythmically in an attempt to catch their scent.
Upon failing to locate them, the creature shook its head in confusion and paused to scratch its snout with one of its front paws. In comparison to its large hind legs, the front paws looked almost spindly, yet they were heavily taloned and looked fully capable of disembowelling most foes with one powerful swipe. The beast’s head snapped to the left, as if hearing something of interest, and in response immediately bounded back into the forest, the sounds of breaking branches slowly dying out as the beast travelled at incredible speed further West of their position. Within a few moments the sounds of the forest returned and birds began to sing, signalling that all was clear.
Professional Reviews
Very Imaginative
This is an entertaining and cleverly constructed story, filled with imagination, magic, love, fear, all the components that make up the human condition, despite that this is anything but a story solely about humans, it transcends. The author takes the reader on quite a journey, along with interesting and different characters, through battle and kindness, on a fantastical road show of well-written adventure. It held my interest and kept me moving along, and for the creative writing alone the story is worth the read.
