017 // Day 12 of the 21 Days of Storytelling Featuring The Dragon Collector, a YA Fantasy Novel: Chapter 9

Welcome to Day 12 of the 21 Days of Storytelling featuring The Dragon Collector, book one of The Dragon Stalker Bloodlines Saga. The story snippet of the day is chapter nine entitled Stalking the Stalker.  Today you get to meet a Dawn Stalker!  Only this dragon isn't the friendly sort that are back on Earth with Kenton. Opny is 814 years old and lives free in Dawn Stalker territory in Southwest Zandador.  He's selfish, vain and territorial.  As Javan will soon learn, this particular dragon lashes out at anyone or anything who enters his territory. His biggest fear that no human knows is that he's terrified of mosquitoes.  This big bad dragon actually faints when he sees or hears them flying around him! Another interesting fact is that he sulks and forgets to eat when he sees butterflies because he's jealous of their beautiful colors and their ability to fly.  I told you he was vain! As far as what he likes to eat, lily pads and okties are at the top of his list. What's an okty, you ask?  Listen in to find out.   Apply now for a personalized writing workshop with Author DK Drake!
