Extract from the second novel in the Talon series:

Aikon, robust, strong and the right size for his four years; and Matica, smaller than he, delicate and frail in her stature, ran to their parents’ bedroom and both flopped, laughing, onto their bed. Matica embraced her mother then sat in the middle of their bed, grinning brightly. Aikon sat beside her after he had cuddled his father.
‘Wow, look ...

at you, Mat,’ her father said, watching the two of them. Next he snatched her from the middle of their bed and cuddled her. Mira looked at them and grinned. Aikon leaned over to his mother to cuddle her but looked at his sister. ‘To judge by your bright, shining eyes and your grin,’ Crayn said, ‘you must have dreamed about flying on Talon as Aikon had suggested last night. Am I right?’
She nodded with flashing eyes. ‘Oh yes, I did,’ she said but at the same time thought, seeing her father’s grin, he likes it, but I’m not sure about Mum. She looks worried. Matica hugged her mother again. ‘Don’t worry, Mum, it was a dream – for now.’
Next Matica burst out laughing then jumped out of their bed and flew with outstretched, flapping arms around the room. Her eyes sparkled like fireworks.
