Synopsis

Optional sequel to Upon Wings Of Change.Tessa's Story: a revision with *just* Tessa’s POV (different from the original "Passing the Torch" version).Summary:The dragonets are flourishing; both those in the park and those helping the Kymari.As the first dragonets to hatch in the Kymari civilization, Tessa and her brother are paving a new path as they grow up and learn how to fit into the world. New beginnings are often great things, but sometimes shadows from the distant past come calling.Excerpt:I braced my feet against the wall as I pulled. Suddenly, the lever swung downward. I lost my grip and tumbled backward. I landed on my side and slid across the counter. My legs and tail flailed as I tried to get to my feet or slow down—but I didn’t manage it in time.Almost in slow motion, my feet went off the counter as I slid into the air. Without thinking, my wings popped open and beat hard as I twisted, trying to turn right side up so I could fly properly.I blinked in shock when I realized I was already flying upward. Grinning triumphantly, I beat my wings again and went back to the counter.Pleased with my flying abilities, I proudly landed on the counter—and forgot to slow down, which promptly sent me sliding across the slippery surface, lightly colliding with the glass door. I ducked my head sheepishly, glad no one else had seen that.My eyes locked onto the gap between the glass doors. With an eager grin, I pressed my shoulder against the edge and pushed. My feet struggled to find traction, but it was opening!Once I pushed the door far enough, I scampered over to the cantaloupe. It was much bigger up close. I blinked slowly, trying to think about how I was going to move it. There was no way I’d be able to lift it.It was round though. Round things could roll, right?
