Disaster
Lord Vull recounted the day a giant green comet crash into the sun. The resulting solar storm smashed three of Saturn’s smaller moons. Then it went on to strip Mars of its atmosphere and almost every living creature.When the storm hit earth, volcanos erupted and the tectonic plates shook. Fire storms raged for weeks and earths fabled city disappeared.
When calmness returned, the dragons kin the Dinosaurs where no more. The solar winds that had enabled travel around the planets failed to return. Isolating each of the planets for millions of years.

Nah, I didn’t believe it. Not until I saw the parchment fragment. Now I’m unsettled
Please do not be unsettled, for the dragon lords have a plan of how to deal with the next Green comet
This latest sequence of stories contains some very imaginative world-building, Michael. Nice work!
Thank you Penny, I am on a roll, but not for long I think. With this weeks prompt I would have preferred to say more about the insect
Such an inventive take on the prompt, Michael.
Thank you Sandra, at present I am stuck in a Sci fi pattern. I would have liked to have included the insect more, as I saw it as belonging to Mars
Dear Michael,
Not the prettiest of scenarios, is it? Imaginative.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle, at present I am stuck in a Sci fi pattern. I would have liked to have included the insect more, as I saw it, as coming from Mars
Very apocalyptic. Well done, Michael.
Thank you very much Mason,
I really like this. Imaginative, and kind of scary to think about the “what if” questions.
Linda I appreciate your feedback…
I hope you’re turning these Saturn tales into something larger. You’re onto something very creative here.
Thank you so much, ten years back I would have run with a bigger story. Unfortunately my muses energy is not up to it these days. Although I feel that more is yet to come about the sun and it’s solar system.
OHHHHHH you even have EVIDENCE! 🙂
Now I know this must be true! 😉
Na’ama, I really appreciate your feedback. At the moment WordPress occasionally deletes comments.
It’s all so logical! I could almost believe it. Almost… Great story, Michael.
Only almost, Thank you Jenne,
a doomsday scenario that may ultimately doom earth. hopefully, humans or what’s left of them are able to escape to another dimension.
Another dimension would allow me to write more, although at the present the planet Mars keeps popping up in my thoughts
With these saturnian dragon lords, physics (and everything else) has to be rewritten, I’m afraid. Great fun, Michael.
Rewriting physics could be a little to challenging for me. Yet now Mars keeps popping up in my thoughts
I’m beginning to think that you know something we don’t!
I fear not Keith, yet my muse keeps on wanting me to now write about Mars
I hope there’s not another big green comet on the way…
A green comet is a rarity, hopefully the next one will miss the sun, and travel into another dimension
Very imaginative. I like where you took the prompt Good writing!
Thank you Susan, my muse now demands that I write a little about Mars before the comet arrived
Cool story, and love the parchment.

Thank you so much Ronda, I am experimenting with differing art materials, but I am certainly no artist.
Firstly, I love your image caption. It’s a pleasant thought that the planets in our solar system were connected with a solar wind that we could sail around much as earth ships travel on the waterways.
I do hope to write about solar wind ships, but researching the dragon lords archives is very challenging
How did you get your hands on that priceless artifact???
Lol, great story!
I have been allowed access to the dragon lords archives, but for how long I am unsure. The archives hold very ancient material. I need much assistance to translate what I find. As a early pictorial recording system was in use.
Loved this unique take on the prompt. Well done!

Thank you Dora, the night sky should take all the credit
