Excerpt
from: Jo and the Dragon Riders
“Is it
for sale?” Andrew asked.
“No,
it’s free. Take it,” the owner said as he handed it to Jo.
“What?
It’s hardly fair,” Andrew interjected. “We have to pay you something.”
“No, No,
I insist! The Mirror is hers.”
Andrew
was still perplexed. “…In the end I insisted I pay twenty Crone,” he said to
his wife.

Excerpt
from: Changes in Time and Space
The Doctor, her companions and Captain Anderson were
looking at the tactical display on the secure viewer. “It looks like the
Drahvins are surrounding us on all sides, including upwards,” Jia’hale said.
“It does
look like that, but we are prepared. All we can do is hope for the best,”
Captain Anderson said.
“The
UNIT fleet has been surrounded, Mistress,” 4W32.iii said. Kellira looked at the
display and noted that their forces had indeed surrounded the UNIT ships,
boxing them in.
“Open a
channel to the lead ship!” she said.
“Yes,
Mistress,” another of the soldiers, 4W31.iii.iip, said.
“We are
receiving a signal from the Drahvins,” Geraldton said.
‘That’s unexpected,’
Sigrun thought.
“On the
screen, please,” Captain Anderson said.
Kellira
appeared on the screen. “This is Kellira, High Admiral and Commander
in Chief of the Drahvin forces in this system to the commander of the United
Intelligence Taskforce fleet and the Time Lady known as the Doctor. I ask that
you surrender, or your ships will be fired upon and destroyed.”
“Doesn’t
mince words at all does she?” Sigrun asked, rhetorically. ‘She is quite consistent,’ she thought.
“This is
Roberta Anderson, Captain of the UNIT ship Valiant II and overall
commander of this fleet. We refuse to surrender to those who invade our planet
for any purpose.” The tone of her voice showed her resolve to defend Earth at
all costs.

Excerpt
from: Mysteries of Aurora
“Freya!”
“Daniela!”
“How did the first lectures go?”
Daniela asked.
“Quite well. The lecturer’s are
quite supportive…” Freya began.
“That’s very good.”
“And they have experience with
neurodivergent students,” Freya said with excitement, bouncing up and down.
Daniela could tell that Freya
was exited to tell her that. “I guess so. I looked into it after the treasure
hunt.”
“Yes, the University’s web pages
are very informative, although I had only skimmed them.”
“Very boring?”
“Yes, they couldn’t hold my
attention. Maybe that’s something I could bring up,” Freya said in a thoughtful
tone.
“It’s probably a good idea.”
‘Sometime on Monday,’ Freya
thought.

Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
“There’s
things we need to tell you,” Daria said. “But not with Sam here.”
“Why
not?” Sam asked.
“Because
of your eavesdropping,” Daria said.
“Sam,
what have I told you about that?” their mother said.
“To
keep my ears to myself,” Sam said in a dour tone.
“Exactly!”
Sandi said.
“Fine,
I’ll go to my room.”
“And
close the door too,” their mother said.
Daria
watched as Sam went up the stairs. She remembered the earlier conversation. ‘He
must have figured it out over time. But what about the younger brother, Chris?’
“Now,
I know something happened at the Hospital, Sandi,” Linda said.
“It
would be better that I explained,” Daria said.
“Oh?”
Mrs. Griffin asked.
“Are
you sure?” Sandi asked.
“Yes,”
Daria answered and started from where she found the poem at her father’s grave.
