Is it a bird, is it a reptile, a Pterosaur perhaps?

Is it a bird? They queried, is it a reptile, a Pterosaur perhaps? I was there looking at the thing coming in and wondering, what the heck?

  

Look! over head

“I was just about nearing the end of my rope, no hope seemed to remain for me, of me ever getting out of there, until that day when it started to rain: there was lightning, and thundering, earlier that day, and then came those smoking swords slashing through time and space as though… 

Ah, I mean, it was like, it was as though through bones and marrow, and all of this was taking place while as it were, the captain and his mighty men of war had not even so much as a prayer in the form of a response to their assault. The sun was up in all of its brilliant glory by then, it was as if they, the girls had dragged it in along with them.

I thought that it was an army of over ten thousand strong, who had come out against us, (me included,) but I was amazed to find out that it was a company of three, just three unassumingly slender but well-sculpted and firm-bodied female fighters, who had come out, wielding smoking swords of might, and conquering to conquer.”

So, it wasn't a bird, nor a reptile or even a dinosaur. it was worse, it was the girls, the fighting girls. 

“The most dreadful thing that I saw there in those assault on the camp though, was the zipidy-zap lightning balls that they carried and which they threw over the shoulders on what might have seemed to the others like a retreat. 

They would have done it every single time, and which would get those frightened jailors scampering for cover but was never able to mount any military response, at least, none good enough to withstand the fury of the lightning balls it would seem.”

“I thought I would have been consumed in the wake of the furious feminine assault, but I was quickly scooped up and dragged away, kicking and screaming, to another place and another time, which I estimated to be about another thousand years forward from that point in humanoid time measures. How long was it anyway?” how long was it that I was there?” 

“Twelve hundred and three years.”  

“Wow! …said Shadow, in pensive reflection. Long pause.

“…It would have taken me another forty to fifty years (human years that is,) to realize that I was free, I was actually delivered and set free from ever being again under the bandage of those miserly jailers.” 

But my mind did not catch up quite as quickly to that concept as it did to the wonders of those fighting girls, wish it had.

“And then?” 

“And then, after those things, I looked and there it was: the loopy doopy wobbling thing riding the waves, occasionally raising its head above the water and then diving back down, and up, and down, so it went gliding along on the water’s surface: spooky, spooky indeed.” 

“Go on, go on, what happened next?”

“Things change over time and fourteen thousand years is a hell of a long time for a lot of changing to take place, for many things to change, and boy, did they ever changed?” 

N.B. After this, there will be just one other post from this project before we move on to something else in order to allow this one the time and space to get it published. We will also take a break over the weekend but will be posting something interesting, other than these types. Come Monday, we will begin a new project, something from one of the published works perhaps. Be on the lookout for this and other interesting stuff. And be sure to subscribe and share the pages.
