This is just a preview, not a complete novel. A simple teaser to help create interest in my stories.
The Present
“Let me out!” screams an eighteen-year-old girl with flaming red hair that’s pulled back with curled ends. A feathery saffron orange mask hides the fear and anger in her eyes. She wears a costume of saffron orange boots with transparent feathers attached at the calf, a circle skirt, transparent feathery wrist-length gloves, a bra with a brooch in its center, the mask that obscures her identity to others, feather post earrings, a hair tie to keep her hair, except for two tufts in front of her ears, under control, and an orange headband. To finalize her appearance, the reason for her current frustration: her broad, powerful pure-white wings.
On this dark, rainy night her enemies had chosen to attack for their greatest advantage over her: she would be unable to fly in the down pouring storm and forced to fight on the ground.
After losing the battle on the ground to forces with superior numbers, she had been put in a way-too-small cage that forced her into a crouching position. Her concern is not for herself as she overhears her captors’ conversation.
“With Dream Angel at long last defeated, we can destroy the bloodline of the Goddess once and for all,” a creature with maroon skin, black wild hair, a long tail and black bat-like wings comments.
“You won’t get away with this Xalibe!” she yells, causing the Reprobate Elite to turn to her and laugh.
“I’d like to see you try and stop me,” he laughs. “Your life as Arora Arum is…” BOWOOM! An explosion behind him forces her to recoil involuntarily.
“…Over,” he finishes and walks away laughing. She considers using her Feather Blaster on him, but he’s out of range too swiftly, next she considers it on the bars of her tiny prison, but decides the explosion in the cramped cage would be more likely to kill her than help her.
Much as I personally hate cliffhangers, that’s all you get! Keep comments and suggestions, even critiques polite please! Also, if you’d like to read the rest, here’s the publisher to tell: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Agora-International-eBooks/79159503327?sk=wall Mention you’ve read the preview on my blog and want to read the rest published by them. If I can generate enough interest in this novel, they hopefully won’t be so unsure about publishing it. The last I’ve heard from them, they wanted to move forward, but since it’s “anime in novel format” they’re uncertain about how the market will react. Help me show them the world is ready for a whole new genre of novel!
