“Our kind has been involved in too much bloodshed I can only ask you to help me right the wrong that was done,” pleaded Olin.
“There is no other way, but to destroy them,” replied Genu. “Even if I’d lose my life to do it.” His eyes were full of rage as he plotted to fight with teeth, claws, and fangs.
“The Alexandrite is the key,” Olin said. “A drop of the nectar of the blue hyacinth neutralizes its enchantment. The people of the forbidden forest shall awaken from the curse of the high priest.”
“But it could only be found in the land of the prophets,” Genu said. “A week’s journey to get there and back.”
“I’ll go with no one else but you – brother,” Olin replied.
Olin shifted into a Pegasus and Genu a Manticore then they flew.

I like the dialogues, very realistic, in spite of the fantasy setting.
I know you’re familiar with the fantasy TV series they air on 2 & 7.
You could sell your stories to them, they would be good also for TV viewing – for sci-fi fanatics like me.
