A few snippets...

Working on adding to my Anyatin-English dictionary. Been actually coming up with phrases. Also have new poems to compose and translate. But it's fun.
Some phrases:

The apostrophes are actually accent marks that did not translate to this format.

"Eh khinim-ki", or, "Ah khinim-ki", (depending on the region)
I love you.

"Nid'in pirekhan gar'ay-azh osh p'irekho".
Fools pierce the surf with lances.


"Kiar 'a harh sen'in akhima".
I am not a crowd pleaser.

Updates, etc...

This will be where I post updates, musings and information concerning the Dragonytes series books. There are three books in the works for this particular series, and the first one is finished.

Book 1: Soravakhin; The Fall of the Onyx

Soravakhin is the Anyatin word for demon. In the land of Anyat live the Rekonatah, the Longtails, who resemble dragons in face, claws and tail, though in every other way, they possess the gamut of human qualities, and suffer the consequences of human weaknesses. Anyat is a land governed by the Order of the Onyx; a knighthood called the Tarkha, made up of the sentient Ei-Avakharah, the Gifted Horses, and their Rekonatah riders. This symbiotic, and often telepathic relationship results in a powerful entity, which, favored by the five spirit-gods they call the Akharin, makes for a strong defense and keeps the peace among Anyat’s citizens. Yet, what happens when one of the most powerful members of the Tarkha, a top-level Commander with a genius-level intellect and superior fighting skills, goes against the Council of the Onyx, and even defies the will of the Akharin themselves? Book One centers around this rogue Commander they call ‘Soravakhin‘, and the consequences therein, if he should be successful in his evil plans.

Book 2: Korabatah; Deliverance

The plot is being worked out at the time of this writing, but basically it is about how the land recovers from the coup and the near-destruction of the Tarkha, as well as the fate of Azren and all those involved in the country's downfall.

Book 3: Bahíkhya; The Journey of a Outlaw

This is a character-driven story that centers around Talen áin Bahikhya, the illegitimate son of his mother Bahikhya, the owner of the tavern and brewery The Spinning Wheel; and his father Tapheuris, a Khayatin noble. They had met when Tapheuris was traveling through Anyat looking for additions to his wine and ale collection, and he not only discovered the finest ale in all of Anyat, but also its maker, the most beautiful female he had ever seen, even in his native Khayat. 

Talen was a child prodigy, a genius, who was rejected by the Tarkha academy because he was of foreign blood, and his mother was unmarried with a dubious reputation.

He ended up working his way through the tumultuous ranks of the highly competitive and often violent world of the Khayatin transport mariner to become a powerful ally of Tapheuris, an enforcer and a privateer. His life of crime and deception made him forget his roots in Anyat, and led to his loss of faith in the spirit-gods known as the Akharin. Instead, he adopted the Khayatin pantheon, and became a temple prostitute for Khina, the goddess of love, and a warrior-adherent of the bloodthirsty Rhuon, the god of war, both of whom were not subject to the higher authority of the Akharin, but rather rebelled against them.

Remnant memories of Talen's past and the consequences for his part in the downfall of the Tarkha eventually caught up with him, forcing him to make some difficult choices between someone he truly loves and his own particular brand of self-preservation.

This final book in the series, though it centers around Talen, tells the story from a different perspective.
