Description
Special Notes: Well, last night was exhausting on my poor dogs. I had the music turned up to try and drown out the fireworks, but it didn't help much. They are passed out this morning.
So, there probably won't be any stories for a few weeks while I work on the final manuscript of the book, getting it ready to publish on Amazon. The last month was terrible on sales, summer vacation hit hard. Thankfully, sales have started picking up again over the weekend. Maybe it's too hot outside and people are looking for indoor activities now.
There has been one major change to the story so far in the final draft. I never liked the term 'First Eggs', so I've changed that. If we humans had something similar we wouldn't call them the 'First Fetuses'. So, yeah, they are now called the White Ravens and sometimes the Sacrificia. They wear snow-white cloaks over their black Shadow Uniforms to set them apart from all other Ravens, but their wings are still black, giving them an appearance as sort of 'dark angels'. I'm still looking for a name for the Priestess that used to be called the White Raven.

As usual a fascinating image and work !
Beautiful work on this scene. looking forward to reading the next one.
Marvelous scene and fantastic composition... WOnderfully done Robert !!!
Thanks for the update to your schedule. Best of luck fine tuning this manuscript! I look forward to its arrival at amazon. Take care and have a great, productive summer. We had a lot of fireworks going off around here as well. There were a couple houses that were victims to wild flying rockets in a couple places of the valley. Not in my neighborhood, thank heavens. Our cats found some nice hidey holes and honkered down for the duration. They seem fine today.
well done. the blue color is calm and quiet. I love the look of the grass and the sky is beautiful. good luck with the manuscript.
You need to get those dog huggers they been advertising. BTW most awesome image, love the night atmo.
Nice work
Gorgeous image! I like the new name for the First Eggs and the costume idea.
A truly wonderful image as always. Poor puppies, our Jingles used to go completely nuts during a thunderstorm, glad they are recouping.
(Suggestion - Priestess Snow a mutation of the raven and snowy owls with powers of wisdom, mysticism, and knowledge) :)
An awesome and beautiful image! Yeah my dogs didn't care for all the noise either or my ears from their barking!
A mesmerizing effect in another one of your storied images. I like how the moon shows through the mist. As for fireworks, it was World War III around here with the M180s and mortar shells going off very close by. These sort of explosive devices are illegal around here but they still get them in and blow them off.
Poor dogs, know what you will have gone through with them, my girls are the same.
Fabulous image. xx
The Priestess Formerly Known As White Raven turned out to be sort of crazy and more smoke and mirrors than substance, as I recall. Not someone to be respected and revered. I like Windigo's idea of a "mixed bird" raven-owl. Mom was a wise priestess owl, dad was a warrior raven, poor kid wants to be like both, but it makes her a bit of a schizophrenic and it ruins her in the end. That would give you her good intentions and her need to save as well as rule, but her fatal flaw is her genetic makeup, which of course she can't escape. That would make for a very rich and troubled character!
