Xander And The Lost Island Of Monsters (2016) - Plot & Excerpts
Jinx takes the airline bag she found and packs it with water bottles, oatmeal, and more of those handy metal containers. The sun’s up, but it hasn’t heated the desert yet. Icy fingers of wind tickle my ribs. You’re never going to be normal again. The phrase repeats itself in my head as I put one foot in front of the other. It used to be that my biggest worry was keeping chip crumbs off my keyboard. No more of that. I am the Momotaro. Saver of worlds. A sour taste rises in my throat. Am I really ready for this? It doesn’t matter anymore—I’m already here, and unless a Momotaro can time-travel, I have to keep moving forward. The temperature rises as we hike all day through the sand, stopping only occasionally to rest and eat rice balls under the purple sky. Jinx folds us paper hats from magazines she found in the plane, and these keep our heads nice and shaded. It’s late afternoon when the ground shakes, making the dunes roll like the ocean. I drop into a crouch, my sword clattering behind me.
