Opening Lines:
Sir Beccaroon cocked his head, ruffled his neck feathers, and stretched, allowing his crimson wings to spread. The branch beneath him sank and rose again, responding to his weight. Moist, hot air penetrated his finery, and he held his wings away from his brilliant blue sides. "Too hot for company," he muttered, rocking back and forth from one scaly four-toed foot to the other on a limb of a sacktrass tree. The leaves shimmered as the motion rippled along the branch. "Where is that girl?" |

Opening Lines:
Bealomondore stood in the doorway of the darkened hall. Shadows hid the statue he'd been ordered to steal. His heart told him to retreat. His feet wouldn't move. But the kimen, whose wildest flying lock of hair reached only to the tumanhofer's knee, insisted that the statue be stolen. The artist cast the kimen a menacing look. The rude little man had startled him out of a sound sleep and proposed this ridiculous escapade. Bealomondore only wanted to go back to his chamber. In the middle of the night, the proper place for an aristocratic tumanhofer was his bed. |

Opening Lines:
Ellie sat on her favorite boulder and looked Tak right in the eyes, telling him what was on her mind. "Gramps shouldn't have taught me to read." Tak responded as he usually did when he received Ellie's confidences. He lowered his head, placing it on her knee for a rub. Ellie obliged her pet, stroking the white hair between his nubby horns with one hand while digging in the pocket of her homespun pinafore with the other. The mountain breeze toyed with the paper she withdrew. With difficulty, she smoothed the small poster out on her other knee. Dirty and wrinkled, it still made her heart beat a little fast.
