Whether these accusations prove to be true, or the act of destruction was performed by aliens, as another group claims, nobody knows. The authorities were still trying to work out how anyone could have brought in those gigantic stones without being noticed in the first place.
But that is not the end of the story. Scientists have been called in to analyze a plant that was discovered growing out of one of the stones. According to a member of the staff, it may be a genus of completely unknown origins. Most baffling of all is that the plant is inextricably attached to its rock and is resisting any attempt at being cut out, no matter the tool used.
Perhaps those who state this is all a trick played on us by aliens aren’t too far from the truth after all.
About the Author
Alessa Ellefson is a bit of a globe-trotter--born in Texas, she was raised first in Spain, then Belgium, before landing in the US of A to study... math (the one subject she’d vowed never to take again after graduating from high school). In terms of writing, she’s tried her hand at a number of different genres, including screenwriting and poems.
Blood of the Fey is her first published novel (her previous stories are tucked safely away for fear of adding more horrors to this lovely world). It is also the first in the Morgana Trilogy, though many more tales are jousting in her head for the next spot at the end of her pen.
