For the beginning of Traxin’s adventures read Into the Vortex.
His second adventure is Crashing.
~~~
“What’s that crazy-looking thing?” Tom plucked the insect-like space ship out of Josiah’s dreads and then flicked
it away.
Traxin, still rattled from the impact, regained control and shifted gear. One long strand of hair, tangled in the wing, created drag. He slammed the zevot into forward thrust. The powerful vessel gained altitude.
He peered through the portal and blinked his yellow eye. The mother ship (invisible to humans), had returned for him!
Then darkness swallowed the craft. Traxin sailed downward.
“NO! I want to get off this disgusting planet!”
The black crow spat the spacecraft into a hungry beak.

Tameri, come on and take a walk on the wild side! Maybe one day, I’ll write a novel. For now, to me, it’s just WAY to much space in which to wander aimlessly.
Baby steps; baby steps. 🙂
