Buterfly and Serpent Space excerpt

The following is a short scene from "Kalila Maji", part two in my book Butterfly & Serpent, published by Createspace
Jamai has been captured by an interdimensional spectre named Sydelle, and is about to see a stunning vista.


She answered with a smile reflected in hungry eyes. “You came to learn of me? Come, see.”

She inclined her head, and I followed the direction of her gaze. We were still in Mokoyo Springs. But the Moon was gone. A massive orb filled its space, filled nearly the entire sky, but for one narrow sliver near its upper hemisphere. Clouds of the purest blue blanketed its surface, if it had any, clouds layered with chalk-white jet streams. Occasionally its troposphere was punctuated with crackles of lightning, traversing an entire hemisphere. “Is that…?”

“No,” Sydelle replied with an eye as full of wonder as mine. “Our home was in orbit around what you see, our Parent Body. The core of our home was a powerful magnetic orb with predictable magnetic reversals, which acted in conjunction with those of our Parent Body’s poles. On those dates, we could see into other realms as the barriers separating each sphere thinned, due to the two bodies’ electromagnetic reverses.

The above is actually a NASA image of the planet Neptune.
