Excerpt
from: Daria on Berk
Daria breathed a sigh of relief. “Good.”
“But that’s just the start,” Hiccup said.
“Of course,” Daria said. ‘Riding a dragon…’
Excerpt
from: Jade Survives
As she
climbed down the stairs, she heard Jo, Tama and the other girl enter the house,
along with a boy.
She hid
in the kitchen.
“Who are
you?”
Excerpt
from: Mirror Mirror – Jade the Wildcard
Jade
Coigley was always difficult. She was always getting into trouble, despite her
mother trying to rein her in.
It
started when Mia and Jesse were hospitalized due to that drum…
Jade
threw down the crowbar and it pierced the drum. She saw Mia and Jesse collapse
and winced as Jo called for her mother at the top of her lungs.
Excerpt
from: The Engineer and the Time Lady
That wasn’t surprising.
“Comparison
of Aialah’s home nation with the United States.”
“The
political organisation of the Kingdoms of Nalara is much more structured than
the United States of America.”
Excerpt
from: Journey to the End
She
walked into the Tavern several minutes later. Someone welcomed her at the door.
“Welcome
traveler. If you go to the front desk, we’ll get you settled for the night.”
“Thanks.”
Excerpt
from: Mysteries of Aurora
“You might have said something
about that,” Flavia said.
“I have found more from the Capture
of Urbs Aeterna.”
“But you’re uncertain?”
“I found some discrepancies,” Olivia
answered.
“Sometimes contradictory
accounts are written.”
“I know that. But it leaves what
actually did happen as a mystery.”
Flavia just gave a smirk.
Freya finished her sketch.
Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
Sandi
was waiting for her order, and occasionally looking at Anders, when she heard
the news on the radio. “A robot pterodactyl is causing havoc in the Lawndale
Mall. Dafoanairi has responded.”
‘Robot
pterodactyl!’ Sandi thought. ‘But I’m sure that Daria would find who’s
responsible before I could get there, even if a I jack a car.’ She didn’t want
to resort to that.
“Here’s
your latte, Sandi,” Stacy said.
“Thanks.”
“What
was that about a pterodactyl?”
“Something
Dafoanairi is fighting,” Sandi answered.
“More
things…”
Dafoanairi
looked at the robotic pterodactyl as it flew around the food court. ‘I can do
something about this. I don’t need the Engima to knock it out with one of her
projections, or SpiderGirl to catch it in a web.’ She looked at her
quarterstaff. ‘I could damage it that way, but there is another way.’ She looked
at one of her ropes. ‘I can use that. But it would be better to find whoever it
is controlling it remotely. They would have to be nearby.’ She approached the
area carefully and looked around.
The robot
swooped over her.
“I
wouldn’t do that if I were you,” she said as she twirled the quarterstaff. “It
looks like I can damage it if I get a hit in.”
She
looked around. There were many tables from where she could get a good swing
from. ‘But I’ll try to lasso it first. I’ll see if I can get the attention of
the controller that way.’
Dafoanairi
clambered up on to a table as the pterodactyl turned around and came back in
her direction. She prepared her rope. She then threw her lasso at nearly the
last second.
Ninja
Talon hadn’t expected to be active that day, as she was still recovering from
the injury she had sustained two days earlier. She had been shopping as the usual,
but recovering, Brittany when she had seen the robot pterodactyl causing chaos.
She knew that Quinn was tutoring Angie, and so went to the bathroom to change.
She emerged
into the food court and saw Dafoanairi expertly lasso the robot pterodactyl. ‘But
she probably will need help,’ she thought.
Indeed,
Dafoanairi was struggling. The robot was trying to get loose and dragging her
along. ‘But then it was probably designed with SpiderGirl in mind, to draw her
attention. Yet another person trying to draw her out.’ Her thoughts were then
interrupted as a couple of shuriken struck the side of the robot. She looked
and saw Ninja Talon approaching with a limp. “Ninja Talon?” she asked.
“Hey,
Dafoanairi, mind if I help?”
“Not
at all. But I notice that you’re limping.”
“I’ll
tell you later,” Ninja Talon said as she fired a zip line.
It whipped
around one of the pterodactyl’s wings.
