“What are you up to now?” Boaz grumbled.
“Oh my! I can’t believe that I forgot about Santa’s gift!” Flurry exclaimed from the darkness in his corner of the room.
Flurry pulled the package out and ripped the paper off to reveal an old, dusty book with a locked clasp. The hardbound text had decorative metals and precious stones laid into its cover. Most peculiarly, the center of the cover had an indentation that was empty. It appeared to Flurry that something belonged there, but it had been taken out.
A folded slip of paper stuck out from the book’s pages. Flurry removed it and opened it up, but he was unable to read it. He handed it to Boaz, who was now out of bed and had come to Flurry’s side.
“What does it say?” Flurry asked.
Boaz put on his glasses. “This side says, The Book of Snow,” he answered. The lion cub flipped the folded paper open and read aloud: “I believe this belongs to you. Signed, C.K.”
“Hmmm.” Flurry was very curious. Just at that moment a glow came from the drawer of his nightstand. Flurry got up, opened the drawer, and grabbed the crystal he had stashed away there. It shone brightly. Right before their eyes, the beautiful gem changed shape in Flurry’s paw.
“Look! It’s the size of that hole in the book!” exclaimed Boaz. The lion directed Flurry’s attention to the book’s cover.
Being curious, Flurry placed the stone into the open hole. Immediately the book’s clasp unhinged, and it sprang open. Blue light beamed out from the pages of the book. Flurry reached out and turned a page. This began Flurry’s next great adventure.
ABOUT J.S. SKYE
J.S. Skye grew up in the Midwestern region of the United States. At a very young age, it was apparent that he was very talented. Finding that he was gifted in music and art, he plunged himself into both. As time passed, he set aside music to focus even more of his attention on developing his skills as an illustrator.
All throughout his years in school, J.S. Skye spent every available moment creating and developing fictional worlds. Caring about realism, he developed multiple people groups, countries, worlds, and even languages. His fictional realms were created through both written and visual mediums.
After traveling to almost a dozen different countries and studying different cultures, J.S. Skye decided to implement his interests in ancient cultures, history, languages, mythology, and more into his writings. He decided it was best to pour his heart and passion into writing instead of having divided interests between both art and literature.
J.S. Skye has accumulated a fairly large collection of his various writings. These stories range from all types of different genres such as mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and even horror. Friends encouraged the aspiring writer to produce a novel and see how things progressed from there.
