Welcome to Day 17 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 fourteen entitled A Hint of Attachment.
In this chapter, Javan is headed back to the portal with his mother, and she shares a bit of her backstory with her long-lost son along the way. She also mentions the official names of some of the regions located within Zandador.
What you don’t learn here is that the territory of Zandador is basically the country in the middle of the vast continent known as the Great Rift. Seven regions make up the territory of Zandador, and I could have made up the names of those regions with a dose of creativity. But I chose to use a specific source for help naming those regions: the Bible. Genesis chapter 10 verse 2 to be exact. This verse is also where I got the name of my main character Javan and ties in with the entire origin story of the Great Rift.
Although I hope you are now curious enough to open your Bible to Genesis 10:2, the purpose of this episode is not to share the backstory or read the genealogy found in Genesis 10. The purpose of this episode is to entertain you with chapter 14 of The Dragon Collector.
So let’s get to it.
