There once was a legend of a being in long past With the might of the gods, but a heart frail as glass Many a folk had once gathered, many a voice in their praise Catching wind to the hillside, the king's blood a blaze For their might was far certain, like flame of a beast So the king sent his armies, and they fled to the east To kill upon prey, from father to son Until their might had lost favor, to no longer run Trapped in a cage, they were sent across sea To die in the waves, to die in what's free Until fear wakes the memory that the night glimmers a star A star of long past, singing a name we call Almar To rise from the ashes, to a world set a blaze To strike fear in our hearts, until none stands but praise

No one ever said what would happen when dragons and aliens meet. And no one told me that I would be in the middle of it. Tasha was studying hard to get through her last year of university when she was kidnapped. She certainly didn't expect to wake up with four feet and wings. Mad scientists are bad enough, but things get even more complicated when aliens appear and wipe out the human race. Is there a way for her to hide her true identity in this new world while retaining her humanity? --------------------- Sneak Peek: I jumped over the lip of the tray and beat down hard with my wings. I had expected to only slow my fall; I had not expected to end up gaining so much height. I squawked in surprise and spread my wings wide in alarm before gravity regained its hold on me. With several awkward back-winging motions of my wings, I landed lightly on the floor. Well, at least I know my wings work. I glanced at the man in the corner as he was scribbling quick notes. I turned around to regard the tray again. They say practice makes perfect. With another hop and a single wingbeat, I managed to land in the sand tray with fanned wings slowing my momentum. That was much more graceful. But a wing-assisted hop wasn't true flight. And I still wasn't on the windowsill. ---------------------------- Entire semi-polished draft can be read on Wattpad.

A few millenniums after the global crisis, an ambitious girl, Nila, aspires to go to Earth like the rest of her colleagues.
