Silver Dragon (45 page)
She realized she could see again, except the world had a reddish shade. She tried to blink, thinking it was blood from the fall, but nothing changed. She blinked again and realized nothing was happening; she wasn't blinking.
Her view had changed
. Now she saw herself laying on the ground. She saw the warrior rise up from her back, his flimsy metal armor dented and in some places missing. He couldn't be alive, not after that fall! Humans were puny and fragile! Bags of blood and bones. Yet the warrior staggered free of her and turned to stare back at her, and then he turned and looked right at her. The real her. The new her.
He sheathed his sword at his side,
and then turned in time for the maiden to crash into him and knock him down. On her body, no less! They were performing a filthy mating ritual on her body! She howled in silent rage.
Sarya wasn't dead.
Far from it, she'd managed to achieve immortality. She'd live trapped inside the silver statue for eternity.

Afterword by the Author
Silver Dragon wraps up a storyline in my fantasy series, Blades of Leander. It's epic in as many ways as I could make it, but the story of Alto and his companions is far from finished. In fact there are other characters that have yet to be introduced. Not to mention some downright nasty villains that make Sarya look like a puppy that's lost all its baby teeth.
Reviews are always welcome and encouraged, they help make writing a reality for so many of us writers that are struggling to succeed. They also help encourage us to know where to go next when we sit down to write. I have ideas for the next Alto mini-series in mind but do my readers want to know what happens next as much as I want to tell them? Let me know!
