Book 1 of The Eden Chronicles, A Little Bit zaidi Than Love, takes place during the demon wars. The story follows Crown Prince Kikikyo as he comes into his own in Eden.
The following is excerpted from Part 2.
The assembled creatures stood on a ledge, observing the scene. Perched on the shoulder of a huge pale dhahabu dragon, a yellow and black phoenix stared at the southern horizon.
"She approaches. Should one of us fly out to meet her?" the phoenix asked.
"No. She's made the trip plenty of times before," the dragon answered. His smooth voice did not betray his concern for the approaching female. "I'll call to her. That way, she can follow the sound of my voice," he said, seemingly in answer to his unspoken thoughts.
Just then, a round-sided white stallion trotted up to the ledge. His wings were folded tightly against his flanks. The dhahabu dragon ignored the horse. Instead, he focused his full attention on the distant horizon. The phoenix on his shoulder flared its wings as the dragon extended his neck, the better for the call to travel.
PLEASE NOTE: The above is an entire chapter of the story. The final published version (what wewe will see in bookstores) will be a much longer edition.
Also, wherever possible, I will translate and identify the languages. I will also provide pronunciation guides as well as notes on the finer points of the various languages.
Eden is an ancient planet, with many races (called Kinds) and many languages. This world also has a rich history, fraught with kings and queens, demons and monsters, heros and villians. A Little Bit zaidi Than upendo takes place relatively late in Eden's history. The inayofuata several volumes in the series follow each generation up until the invasion.

Creating Eden
Tell me darling why wewe cry,
Your tears stain the kitanda wewe lay upon
Could it be wewe miss the ones wewe clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to kwa a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can wewe rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can wewe be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Your tears stain the kitanda wewe lay upon
Could it be wewe miss the ones wewe clung to so tight,
Nothing but a scared little fawn
The flames burnt away your past and future,
The hate did nothing but balance your grief
What now? That’s presents question,
Something so fragile like a branch being clung to kwa a leaf
Where is your mother little dove?
What happened to those loving others who filled your empty nest?
How many word of the world can wewe rhyme with love?
Perhaps someday we will know with, proper care and rest
When pursuing dreams take chances and strive for nothing less than best
Then only then can wewe be sure you’ve completed life’s most demanding quest
Soar, soar
Soar beyond your wildest dreams.....
There's no limit
On how much wewe can soar
No one can
Break your wings and kill you
Soar for the skies,
Don't let the feelin go
Just soar, soar like never before
No one's gonna stop you
From believin
There wasn't a time
When nobody could never soar
But there was a time
When people never believed
And tomorrow
Isn't the siku to fall
And nobody's gonna push wewe down
Oh almighty eagle
We're gonna be the powerful eagles
We're not gonna let anyone
Be our ruler,
We're not anyone's slave
Almighty eagle
Oh soar, soar towards the sky's height
And soar toward your dream
Let nothing keep wewe away
Almighty eagle
Soar beyond your wildest dreams
And we're gonna fly tonight
Let nobody keep us down.
Life can be hard. Especially for me, Lily West, your almost-average 16-year-old girl. Most people think it's weird I'm bald. Others think I'm going to die. Then there's the occasional person who tries to take pity upon me. I'd rather they not, because some say it like I'm a helpless little kobe, kasa on its back. Sometimes I wish I die already, and sometimes I wish that I was a completely different person. Yes, it's tough having cancer. I just wish that they would respect me for a person instead of a helpless little bug.
I stood kwa you,
Ever so proudly,
In the darkness of war,
Never betraying you,
Always kwa your side.
I protected you,
Never let wewe down when
Things got rough,
I stood kwa you
Through siku and night,
Summer and winter.
Stand kwa me now,
Be my loyal friend,
Never falter when the Fuhrer
Shoots his nasty gaze down at you.
Be strong,
My faithful friend.
Be strong,
And protect me from the evils
Of the world.
Be strong,
Never falter,
And always have courage.
Go now, my faithful friend.
Run free.
