Irreverent Creatures

Some words from a comic relief character in my mythology romance world.

Happy Sunday, Story Lovers!

This scene is an excerpt from the first time we get to meet the Krav ( a sea serpent shifter and one of my favorite Tides of Atlantis characters. Don't tell him though, he'll be impossible if he knows.) He works as a double agent for Poseidon and Panacea. He's also quite the ladies' man.

Excerpt:

Krav absently twirled a strand of mist around his arm, leaving Panacea to wonder of he’d been listening at all. Then he spoke.

Poseidon’s angst over the loss of Atlantis is a weakness we can ill afford to suffer much longer…”
“I know. He’s been so Greek about it, right?” Krav cut in. Panacea glared at him, but she could tell he was being flippant on purpose. The situation with his friend bothered him very much though he tried not to let on.
“It will take some doing and I’ll have to step up my concealment measures, but I will try to aid the search and undo the curse.”
“Hmm,” Krav mused. “Why is it always ‘curse this’, ‘prophecy that’ and ‘sell me your soul’ with the gods? Have you ever noticed?”
All Krav’s rant earned him was another arch look from the goddess.
“I’m just saying...”

Thanks for reading!

If you want more one-liners from Krav, you can find him in the first book of my Tides of Atlantis series, Moontide . It will also be one of the books I’ll be updating and doing a community read along of on Ream. If you’d like to get an alert when that starts up, you can follow my account here. I’d love to have you!
