King of Swords (The Starfolk)
“It glided majestically to the beach, then waddled awkwardly ashore on ugly black legs taller than any starborn. When it settled down on the sand it became beautiful again, with its arched neck, snowy plumage, and strong black beak. The open box attached to its back held two adults and a child.

Alniyat descended with dignity, and the man fo...llowed her down.
Striding down the beach to meet them, Rigel noted the angle of Izar’s ears and a mischievous gleam in his eyes just before the imp launched himself like a missile. Rigel caught him, whirled him around, then held him up so their eyes were level.

“No, you’re small and puny.”
“Am not! I’m big for my age. We’ve come to rescue you!”
