Just a snippet...

As I didn't find the time to write a special Christmas story, I'll give you a snippet of a story I'm writing at the moment. Yes, I promised you. I know. Shame on me.

The dragon watched the woman. She knelt in front of the aerie´s glass front, looking into a dark bowl.
"Nothing!"
Her frustrated groan was accompanied by a scraping sound as the dragon moved his heavy body.
"I knew we should have used more virgins blood!"
"Virgins, always virgins," muttered the dragon, "why can´t you just use plain cow blood or such?" She got up and faced the dragon. Her open cloak revealed a body clad in black lace. The only spot of color besides her lips was a priceless gemstone in form of a dark red rose between her breasts. Her hood covered the upper half of her face, so that her eyes were virtually invisible. For human eyes, that is. The dragon saw fully well that she glared at him. Eyes as colorless and cold as ice. Her voice was even colder than her eyes.
"Do you want me to find the hidden treasure or not?"
"Yeah,” mumbled the dragon, “of course I want the gold, but..."
"No but. I need more virgin blood, fresh blood, and a lot of it, otherwise the spell won´t work!"
"Hrrrmmpg," grumbled the dragon and turned . "Well, I´ll go and fetch you some virgins."
"And remember not to eat then, not even partially- I need them alive!"
The dragon left the room. If the color of his tail was any indication of his mood, he was furious. The woman´s lips hinted at a smile. A very cold one.


Wish you all a happy New Year with lots of good reads!
