33. Dorfel riding Shells


As Brave-Four-Zero quietly slipped through the night, Kyra dreamed of more innocent times with Papa. Shells riding the midnight waves on the back of Valla's own famed Dorfels turned her cheeks upward. Even in slumber, her imagination saw the most spectacular things that made others wonder how that brain of hers worked. She didn't know either, but she was going to need every bit of imagination she could muster on the journey ahead. For now, just sweet slumber.

  2. Been so busy with real life I've been going through fractal withdrawal pains. So wanting to know what is going to happen next, especially with Papa's first mission.

    By the way, finally got a name for Papa other than Papa Kyra. That just wasn't going to work with his mates--lol. You'll have to wait for a future post, unless you can guess. One hint. It starts with a Z. :-)

  6. I really like Eisenhorn and the universe Dan has created for him. As Ms Science Girl I thought you might enjoy this one. :-)

  7. Evening all.
    Loved the continuance, astounded by your limitless talent, now I just need to read your fruitcakish comments throughout the day and my own withdrawal symtoms would have been worth suffering ;-).
    Fractal is fantastic, story too. Slumber is such a lovely, quaint word, nobody uses it (at least not this side of the ocean). Excellent!

  8. Thanks Sunshine. It's been killing me not having time to work on my fractals and continue the story. I need to win the lottery so I can do this full-time. lol

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sure, I'll even keep a steady supply of pens to hand you when the old ones run out of ink :-)

  20. Tree, this is the most beautiful fractal I've seen, I love love love it!..but this story, with the last post compared to this one, is this an end or a "beginning"?.hmmm

    Blessings,
    Rhi

  21. You're hired! :-)

    Now how many jobs do you have?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thank you Rhi. The story of the Zael's is just Kyra remembering the times with her grandfather, Papa Kyra. The fractals took the story on a diversion into Kyra's childhood and the adventures of her Zing Tao grandfather. I think her upbringing is going to tell us why Kyra is a special child and the one to lead Bravo-Four-Zero to a new homeland. :-)

  23. "her upbringing is going to tell us why Kyra is a special child and the one to lead Bravo-Four-Zero to a new homeland"

    ...I'm about to lose control and I think, I like it :-)


    Gosh, that brings the total of jobs to about 5 or 6, I think.
