Tusks and Dagger Part Thirty-Five: A Shock Back into Action

Yvette Francaise

 A low humming woke me up, a black portal swirled by my head. Boran held Mishal in his arms, Tommy leaping onto my shoulder with Sir Acorn on my other side. Scribbling out a note, it was time for me to go to work. Laying it on my pillow, the purple rays of twilight flickered in the trees. Stepping through, my animal friends remained on my shoulders. Something felt off, Dackworth wasn’t on my back. Sprinting back, the portal sealed shut. Feeling my pocket, relief washed over me at the cold feeling of my pocket watch. Wiping the swea...

Yvette Francaise

My chocolate brown haired boy squirmed in my arms , his mismatched eyes twinkled up at me. A rich chocolate brown colored his left eye while a shimmering silver colored his right. The fluffy hair tickled my skin, a tainted joy complicated my emotions.  “Isn’t Mishal the most adorable thing?” Boran sighed tenderly, poking his belly. “You are such a handsome boy. How have you held up? I know it has been a rough couple of weeks but I do hope you are doing better.” Messing with his wool blouse, tears welled up in my eyes. That was an...

Tusks and Dagger Part Thirty-Three: The Birth of a New Era

Yvette Francaise

Mina skidded over to me, her tail wagging in the dirt. Her tongue hung out of her mouth, Darwin not that far behind her. Panting like an excited dog, the ground quaked with each excited bounce. Waving my arms, she slowed down. Skidding to a stop, my hand patted her snout. Snuggling into my hand,  a bit of flames burned the hem of my usual wool dress. Patting it out, Darwin skipped up to me. Leaning forward, he slid an invitation into my hand. Opening the scarlet envelope, an official dragon treasure hunt had been announced. Reading it o...

Tusks and Daggers Part Thirty-Two: A Trip Back Home

Yvette Francaise

Boran snored next to me, Darwin’s head rested on my chest. Playing with his hair, Luna was cuddling with Avianna and Somata. Chuckling to myself, it wasn’t that long ago they hated each other. A portal swirled behind me, a gust of wind pulled me from my mat. My delicate fingers grabbed my scythe, my ivory nightgown hugged my bump. Merlin cursed next to me, Sir. Acorn flying in with us. The three of us crashed into a random capital city, a myriad of creatures rushing past us with baskets in their hands. Struggling to our feet, Sir Acorn groa...

Tusks and Dagger Part Thirty-One: A Jungle of a Time!

Yvette Francaise

Lottie: Somata stepped forward out of the early morning fog, a colorfully haired woman walking nervously next to him. Scooping up my bag, Darwin and Luna weren't far behind me.  Boran waved for me to slow down, a portal leading to the next black heart swirling behind me. My lips pressed into a thin line, the beautiful woman brandished a gorgeous rainbow blade. Her kimono fluttered in the breeze, a warm smile brightening my face. My eyes noted the matching marks, a tiny smile gracing my lips. So Somata disappeared for a day and came bac...

Tusks and Dagger Part Thirty: Feathers to My Shadow

Yvette Francaise

Somata: A beautiful face stared down at me, her left black eye somehow going with her golden right eye. Her colorful hair hung like waves, the azure tips tickling my face. Her black lips curled into a smile, my body aching as I struggled to sit up. My breath hitched at her beauty, the way her scarlet waves faded to a yellow stunned me. Playing with her waves, my fingers traced the yellow that melted into her azure tips. A tender blush rose to her cheeks, the black underneath her hair capturing my attention. “I am Avianna but you can cal...

All of us stood at the base of the towering quartz mountain in front of us, dark energy swirling off of the mountain. Exhaustion weighed on us all, Darwin was even seconds from passing out from the lack of sleep. Something had been hunting us for weeks, always escaping us before we could catch it. The trail snaking up and down the mountain was the only way through to our safety, Boran’s head rested on my shoulder. Turning back towards everyone, we needed sleep in order to conquer this mountain correctly.  “Get some sleep everyone. Som...

Tusks and Dagger Part Twenty-Eight: Bad Luck Meets a Nightmare

Yvette Francaise

Lottie: This damn emerald jacket itched my skin, the onyx silk pants hugging my bump. Lord Karama and Kanama stood by my side, the portal had only allowed three to enter. Our matching black raven mask, the boys wearing simple black servants uniforms. This felt wrong, they were royalty not me. The golden ornate walls blinded me, a bunch of masked figures turning to look at me. Rolling their eyes, Karama adjusted the shirt underneath the plain jacket. The black heartbeat throbbed in my ears, the emerald gloves on my hands irritated me. The bag...

Tusks and Dagger Part Twenty-Seven: A Mark in the Moonlight

Yvette Francaise

Darwin: “I’ll buy him!” My mother’s voice called in the blackness of my mind space, her slender hand reaching for me. “I won’t let you ever get hurt again.” The God of Death towered over me, his shadowy body swaying like the flame of a candle. His red eyes glistened with adventure, his shadowy hand patting my head. Shrinking down to my height, his arm hooked around my elbow. Judging by his wicked expression, something horrible waited for me. Why did I have to make a deal with this idiot? “I like you kid.” His deep voice thundered, his head...

Tusks and Daggers Part Twenty-Six: Drawn to Each Other

Yvette Francaise

Sir. Acorn rested in my pocket, his two front teeth chewing on a fresh acorn. Darwin sat on my shoulders, Boran wrapped his arm around my bump. Somata danced closely behind us. Karama and Kanama took up the back with the twins by their side, Merlin and Maryanna taking up the rear. Creatures with clear skin stared at us, a million beady eyes staring us down. Their seaweed green hearts beat in their chests, the oddity of it all throwing me off. The sights of the organs sickened me, a rotting smell poisoning the air. A wave of muddy water cras...

Tusks and Daggers Part Twenty-Five: A New God Arrives!

Lottie: Shifting through my doctor’s bag, the magical plague haunting this village of demons had drained me out of my potions. Panic coursed through my mind, all of the villagers still sick. For weeks we have been here trying to find the cure, Merlin tapping my shoulder. Sir Acorn rested on my other shoulder. Black bags hollowed out their eyes, all of us working around the clock. “Have you found any other potion recipes?” I asked impatiently, watching Darwin and Boran play in the field. “I don’t want people to die because I was too stupid...

Antler: The worn yellow parchment paper trembled in my hands, Clarice kissing my lips softly. These words shook me to the core, a chill running up my spine. Messy handwriting told a tale of utter chaos, Clarice’s slender hand snatching the note from my black gloved hands. Her heavenly voice whispered the letter, the panic rising in her voice.  “Mr. Antler. One of the black hearts has appeared in our forest, and our demons are disappearing. We would like you to come back with Lottie to temporarily assume your position as the police chi...

“Everything is changing.” Boran uttered quietly, everyone slumbering behind us. “I can’t wait to see where this adventure goes.” Finishing buttoning up his shirt, it still stunned me that he was my husband. Adjusting my hair, his lips kissed mine tenderly. A rosy tint colored my cheeks, his lips brushing the nape of my neck. Clutching me close to his heart, a fun look twinkled in his eyes. A tender blush rose to my cheeks once more, a secret laid buried in his eyes. Narrowing my eyes, something was up. He only acted this weird when he was u...

Tusks and Daggers Part Twenty-Two: The Dark Gift of Sacrifice

Yvette Francaise

The morning sun peeked over the mountains, the orange coloring the water neck to us.  Packing up the last of our supplies and smoked fish, King Scarlet licked the side of Darwin’s face. The dragons carried out a golden leather saddle, my breath hitching at the beautiful details in the edge. Placing it on Mina’s back, it had a knob for Darwin to hold onto. Walking up to the two of them, a growl thundered from his large snout. Resting his claw on my head, his eyes bore into mine. A deep respect passed between us, our understanding of eac...

Tusks and Daggers Part Twenty-One

“Darwin, do you want to take the long way back?” I queried kindly, his hands splashing around the healing spring. “That way I can teach you how to control your gift a bit better. How does that sound?” His pointed ears perked up, his wide grin melting my heart. Leaping out of the water, his wet body soaked my wool green dress. Embracing him warmly, an apologetic smile dimmed his face. Squirming out of my arms, he bowed his head in shame. Ruffling his hair, his golden eyes shimmered with tears. Lifting up his chin with my finger, my warm smile...
