(Apologies for this post being late—I injured my arm/shoulder recently, so I can’t do a lot of computer work. It’s better than it was, but I still have to be careful. Anyhoo….)

PARTY! Wahoo!!!
O.O Pixie, NO!
O.O Pixie, NO!
*CONFETTI!*
*GIANT GLITTER
BOMB!!!*
Ack, thanks a lot! Now there’s glitter all over the
blog.
It’s not a Party
without imaginary glitter!
And confetti.
:-D
Well, there you
have it—this Blog Party has been officially christened, Pixie-style. :-P
The focus this time around is on Book Two of the
Rizkaland Legends, Lady Dragon, Tela Du,
which features two girls with the same face…and only one of them will survive
the epic confrontation that awaits them….
Amber, the Lady Dragon, has been promised a
fifty-year reign over Rizkaland and nothing can stop her from claiming it. But
when you've lived six thousand years, fifty is such a pitiful number. Only one
person can keep her from making this reign permanent - the Tela Du, a girl who
shall share Amber's face.
The last thing Petra wants is a magical world interrupting her plans for a normal life, let alone an ultimate battle against the Lady Dragon with only one prophesied survivor. She has her childhood best friend, Reuben, at her side, but she's not sure if he's more of a help or a hindrance right now. Though she'd much prefer to just return home and forget about this whole crazy affair, things change when she discovers that the world has surprising connections to her own family - including her sister who disappeared without a trace two years before. Still, Rizkaland can't possibly expect her to risk her very life, can it?

Welcome to The
Rambling Rose, Noraeto! Have a seat and let’s get started. And forgive me if my
questions seem odd or ignorant; I haven’t officially met you or read about your
adventures with Petra and Reuben—yet
;-)—so I’m kinda playing this by ear.
So, then, tell
us a little about yourself—your background, your family—that sort of thing.
Hello, thank you for having
me. I’m an elf. I live with my parents and grandfather in the family home in
the middle of a Rizkan wood. We’re herdsmen, and own a large herd of
Korrens. My grandfather works for Amber, so he’s only home one day a week.
What was your
first impression of the Tela Du and her friend Reuben?
I thought that she was the
Lady Dragon at first. Once Reuben corrected me ... I found them amusing. It
wasn’t my place to laugh, and the situation was too serious to laugh, but she
honestly thought that having tea with the Lady Dragon was a viable option.
Have you any
special skills?
I have the gift of farsight -
I can shift my point of vision so that I can see anything I want, no matter the
distance or the obstacles. I've got in trouble for using it when I shouldn't,
but for the most part, it's a very useful gift.
I can imagine!
What is your
role in this conflict between the Lady Dragon and the Tela Du?
Well, I was the first person
the Reuben and Petra met when they arrived in Rizkaland, and my
grandfather works for Amber. Beyond that, I'm not at liberty to share.
Anything else
you’d like to share?
I
brought some korren yarn to give you. Kendra told me that you did sewing
things, so I thought you might find it intriguing.
That’s very
thoughtful. Sadly, I’m afraid your lovely yarn won’t transfer into my world,
however, some of my Characters are handy with yarn in theirs, so I shall pass
on your gift to one of them.
Thank you for
stopping by. I look forward to visiting Rizkaland again!
Thank
you for having me. Do stop by when you come. Mother loves company.

Ok, so Noraeto isn't my favorite character, but he seems very nice in this interview. I approve. *nods*
ReplyDeleteNoraeto laughing at Petra and Reuben! Now there's a picture.
ReplyDeleteYes. Well I was laughing some where around there. At least he didn't hear the health-care comment she made.
ReplyDeleteAnd I had no idea what it was they herded. Korrens.
