《The Sea Of Ceto (A Wings Of Fire Story)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Ceto buried her face in her wings.
"Ceto! Come down here!" Emerald called.
Ceto was silent, she did not want to wake up, if she was quiet maybe Emerald would leave her alone.
Emerald walked into the cave and smashed her tail against the wall.
'Not gonna work, I am staying asleep.' Ceto thought.
"Well, if Ceto is asleep I suppose it wouldn't matter if I looked through her things." Emerald aid loudly.
Ceto knew it was a trick, but Emerald may do it, "Don't, see? I am awake." Ceto said, jumping off of her ledge.
"Come on Ceto, we caught some squid." Emerald said, putting her wing around Ceto.
"Tell me the story of how I came here again." Ceto asked.
"Is that the only story you ever want me to tell you?" Emerald asked.
"I want to know more about myself." Ceto explained.
"Well one night there came a dragon, she had scales like a NightWing and was as big as me and Altum combined, she showed us your egg, she said she guarded the egg until it hatched, we welcomed her in, the next night she went hunting to thank us but was hit by lighting, soon after that you hatched, we named you Ceto, for that was the name the dragon bore." Emerald said.
"I wish I was your real dragonet." Ceto wished.
"Coming to us in the talons of a strange old dragon makes you special." Emerald said.
"I am not special." Ceto replied, it was true, she wasn't she didn't act special, look special, she got good grades but it wasn't like that made her extraordinary.
"Enjoy your squid." Altum said when they reached the eating cave.
Ceto ate her squid and went back to her room, she was going to Jade Mountain Academy tomorrow and was packing the things she wanted to bring into a bag, she put in one more thing, a locket, on the inside there were dark blue scales, one on one side and one on the other.

Ceto left the caves and went outside, the entrance to the caves was underwater, she swam up to the surface, spreading her teal wings to fly up. She landed on the beach and sunk her talons into the sand, her webbed claws making an imprint in the ground.
Ceto lay down in the sand, she didn't want to go t the main SeaWing village, she wanted to enjoy her last day here at the island where she hatched.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
