Grail Of The Summer Stars (Aetherial Tales) - Plot & Excerpts
Entwined like a single entity, they torpedoed through fierce clouds of bubbles. She felt her head break into the air, felt the waterfall’s weight splashing over her. They kept rising, as if thrown by a wave right out of the water to land painfully on the flat stones of the bank. There they lay, gasping. Stevie saw the sea dragon changing. Leafy fins were reabsorbed. Its vibrant, fire-laced blue-black hues leached away to ivory as the sinuous body smoothed and flattened into human form.

One outflung arm was coated in dewy fur … then it was suddenly her own pallid, human arm again. Too weary for speech, they lay side by side, panting. Their naked bodies streamed with water, as if they were made of ice and dissolving. Virginia had gone, but she’d made preparations for their return. Two dark blue towels, as big as cloaks, lay folded on the dry grass.
