Welcome to Day 13 of the 21 Days of Storytelling featuring The Dragon Collector, book one of the Dragon Stalker Bloodlines Saga.
The story snippet of the day is chapter ten entitled Torix.
And here’s your Insider Tip of the Day: Zandador used to be a bright and vibrant land. Then Omri came to power. Over the course of his centuries-long reign, he has zapped the life and passion from the people, earning his nickname the “Dark King.” His soldiers patrol every city to ensure compliance with things like his dress code (everyone is only allowed to wear brown clothes), his marriage laws and even travel from place to place.
In this chapter, you don’t learn why Omri has instituted such rules (that comes much later in the series), but you do get to see the city of Torix through Javan’s eyes and get a hint of what life is like under the rule of the Dark King.
You should also pay attention to things like energy balls and time traps as this is the foreshadowing technique in action.
Remember, at the end of chapter nine, the Dawn Stalker Opny snacked on the okties Ravier and Javan had flown to Dawn Territory to observe the dragon. Now the two are stranded in the middle of a place where only dragons live.
Tune in to find out what happens next.
