Meet the Dragon: Stormsinger #SciFi #Dragons #FanArt #MFRWhooks

My character Pietas had always been the villain, but I had it in my head to write his origin story. I knew he was well aquainted with storms, personal, psychic, physical, and spiritual. Turned out he wasn't so much a villain as an anti-hero. I learned a lot about negative character traits writing him.

When I wanted to create a dragon for his spirit animal, the dragon had something to do with storms as well.

Stormsinger is well named. He can summon storms by singing to the wind and sky. His color is a blue so pale it looks white at first. Tips of nose, paws and tail are turquoise. Stormsinger can create a literal blizzard and even freeze rivers. Before Pietas met Stormsinger he could create a physical chill in the air; since developing a bond with the animal, he can freeze people solid.

Pietas's sister, Dessy, has a dragon spirit animal as well. Hers is a red dragon called Fireshade and the dragon can create heat and fire. Dessy can generate heat as well, but not fire.

Pietas and his sister met the dragons on the planet Stachien in the Colonies of Man. They were there at the dragons' birth, and protected them during an attack and a storm, which resulted in their bond. That story is found in more detail in Ring of the Dragon.

For millennia, they fight side by side. Now one king faces a lonely quest.

As Light and Shadow, King Pietas and General Cyken share every battle, as well as a fierce and passionate love.

But, torn apart by the king's rage, Cyken ends their stormy relationship.

When General Cyken falls in love with another man, Pietas undertakes a perilous quest on the dangerous world of Felidae to prove he is the better choice for Cyken.

If he succeeds in his quest, it will either bring Cyken back, or drive him even closer to his new love.

Pietas must try, for he cannot walk into eternity alone.

He must have a shadow to balance his light...

Ring of the Dragon: Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

In the book Forever Love, a situation occurs that moves Pietas and Izzorah from enemies to friends. I've been writing a new story -- nothing fully plotted yet -- and this scene presented itself.

If you've read anything with Pietas in it you know he has a wry sense of humor and irony.

Here, the two men just happen to be in the same room, and the unendingly curious Izzorah asks a question. I set this up like a play, but if I use it, I'll be adding action and dialog tags.

Izzorah: Pietas, if you were a worm, what kind of soil would you be in?

Pietas: I'm sorry. If I was a what?

Izzorah: A worm.

Pietas: A worm?

Izzorah: That's what I said.

Pietas: You think of me as a worm?

Izzorah: No, of course not.

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: But what if you were though?

Pietas: ...

Izzorah: ...

Pietas: If I was a what?

White puffy things on a stick #Smores #PietasFans #SciFi #MFRWhooks

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to interview Pietas on Romance Lives Forever.

It was fun, and the interview was regarding what to eat for dinner.

His answers were revealing, and quite funny.

Who knew he'd never heard the word S'mores?

I'm repeating part of it here, with permission from the blog owner.

She's a wonderful author who is named 'me.' ;)

What is your favorite meal?

Fish, cooked over an open fire, and vegetables grilled beside it.

If any, what food do you refuse to eat?

I have quite literally starved to death before. There is no food I won't eat.

Tell us about a meal or food that says "home" to you.

Fish cooked around a campfire followed by those sweetish brown crackers. You put a white puffy thing on a stick and hold it over the fire until it starts to melt, and then you put that between the crackers and chocolate. I don't know what you call them, but I call them delicious. They are the perfect end to a campfire meal shared with friends.

When you find yourself with some type of unknown food on your plate, what do you do?

I ask questions, and poke at it a bit, but inevitably, I eat it.

Have you ever eaten military style rations, and if so, what was your favorite?

For more years than I care to count. Anything that comes in a box that heats itself is a winner.

If you cook, what kind of food do you like to prepare?

I am hopeless in the kitchen, but my staff sees that I never go hungry.

Favorite alcoholic beverage?

A flavorful wine, especially one grown in vineyards owned by friends.

Favorite non-alcoholic beverage?

Clean, fresh water.

What do you grab when there's no time for a regular meal?

Whatever holds still long enough for me to put it into my mouth.

Who are your favorite people to share meals with?

The people on the High Council, and other dear friends.

Tell us what your author eats or drinks while writing about you.

Kayelle guzzles water, but she also drinks a caffeine free sugar free Coke. And coffee with cream and chocolate. Hot herbal tea in the evening. Sweet tea in the morning. Hmmm. She drinks a lot, but I've only seen her drink alcohol or wine on rare occasions.

What do you feed your pet/s?

Tiklaus is a ginormous panther who rules our home and eats whatever is put within reach. I make sure it's healthy and fresh.

Tell me in the comments what you like to eat for dinner.

Heart of the Immortal King

Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

Ring of the Dragon is book 1 of the Heart of the Immortal King series, but timewise, happens directly after (and because of) Surrender Love, and just before Forever Love. For the best reading enjoyment, I recommend reading them in that order.
Find them in one boxed set: Complete Antonello Brothers: Immortal Series

Ring of the Dragon - Heart of the Immortal King #SciFi #MMRomance

An Immortal Science Fiction Romance Saga

For millennia, Pietas and Cyken fight side by side, the immortal king and his general. Light and Shadow share every battle, as well as a fierce and passionate love.

But, torn apart by Pietas's rage, Cyken ends their relationship. Though the king seeks forgiveness and reunion, Cyken refuses.

When Cyken falls in love with another and wants to seal the relationship in an eternal bond, Pietas takes on a quest, traveling to a dangerous world where he has no power or significance, seeking an item Cyken desires.

If he succeeds, it might bring Cyken back. Or drive him even closer to his new love.

Pietas must try, for one thing he knows: He cannot face eternity without a shadow to balance his light...

When Pietas undertakes a quest in Ring of the Dragon, he unearths a new enemy.

How does the immortal handle that?

(Link Inside Ring of the Dragon)

Pietas is on his own fretting over whether Cyken will like what he sees, and depending on his android bodyguard/servant to fill him in. In the recording below, voice actor Zachary Johnson captured the angst and arrogance of Pietas beautifully. Note: Zach is reading a slightly different pre-edited version.

Excerpt

Pietas should have left his hair down instead of having it tied back. He reached up, but stopped short. He couldn't lift his arms far enough to remove the elastic tie without aggravating his old injury. Pushing beyond the normal ache left him in pain for days.

He could ask for assistance, but what kind of king was so indecisive he couldn't decide how to wear his hair?

As Cyken was so fond of saying, "Not happening, Pietas." Up it stayed.

Besides, to Cyken, outward appearances meant nothing.

Then why change clothes three times? This was ridiculous. Pietas lived in uniform. He ought to have worn that.

Made this meeting more formal. King and subject.

But no, Pietas had opted for casual. Relaxed and inviting.

"Stand there and don't move. Be patient for once in your life. Stop fussing. You look fine. You will not look in the mirror. You will stop worrying. Hold your head up, keep your shoulders back and ignore the pain. You can do this. You will do this."

The silence dragged on his nerves.

Oh, what was the use? Cyken would still find him lacking.

Where was the man? Why wasn't he here yet?

The entrance opened, but it was only Uurah.

"Where is he?"

The android bowed. "His ship is docking."

Pietas did a slow pivot. "Presentable?"

"On the viewscreen, he appeared to be wearing a suit, my lord. Quite presentable."

Tightening his jaws, Pietas showed him a toothless smile. "Thank you ever so much. Now, how do I look?"
