Who is my favourite dragon in the series, The Chronicles of Nadine?



Muquin was the first dragon to appear in Book One of the Chronicles of Nadine.  She is a Silver Wing Dragon. These dragons are the spiritual leaders of all the dragons and with the help of their whisperers, they form the bridge between human and dragons.  

What makes her my favourite?

Muquin represents the multi-faceted dimensions of women.  She is a passionate and playful partner to her mate.  But like all strong women, Muquin tries to mother her mate.  She sees danger and wants him to stay away from it. But leaders can not hide in the shadows.  They must step out to lead.  And Megadeus is no different. Muquin decides that if she can not dissuade him, she must fight alongside him.  But this brings tragic consequences and Muquin has to survive a life of solitude, cut off from all other dragons.

I think we have all faced trauma or guilt that stops us from embracing all that we are meant to be. In these times the temptation to hide from our destiny is all too real.  But Muquin must face her past and let go of fear and embrace the role of the new leader of the Silver Wing Dragons.  Along the way she hurts people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time and she has to face her bitterness that has darkened her true purpose.  

Muquin finds that forgiveness is not just a gift that she must give to others, but also one that she has to offer to herself to allow joy and purpose to enter her life again.

Toughen Up

Image
 Don’t you hate it when you are full of purpose and passion and then someone comes and crushes your dreams? Over the years, I have had to learn to take feedback. As a writer, my first feedback point is my editor. I have had to mature in this relationship. Sometimes feedback can seem harsh, but then I have to ask myself what the motives are of the person giving me the feedback. I think of all the war movies I watched when the training officer is brutal and then I ask, “Is it better to take feedback from someone who has a vested interest in your success, or get little “kindnesses” from someone who is not impacted by your success or failure?” I know that the more soldiers who die in a battle, the weaker the army will be. So taking feedback from your trainer whose success lies in your success not only makes common sense, it is a survival tool.   Over the years, I have had to learn to toughen up. Because my enemy wants to see me fail and my trainer wants to see me succeed. It ...

Pain with Purpose

Image
Have you ever made a devastating choice?   The one that leaves you crying out, “Oh God, what have I done? “  It is painful watching those we love struggle with life-changing decisions. I have made them. And sometimes my friends have made them. There were when I had to cradle a friend in my arms as I would my children. My heart cried out for them trapped in choices they could never undo. There are some choices that we can patch up and fix. Sometimes we emerge stronger than before.  And sometimes we can only ask for the lesson in our pain.  But what I have come to  realise is that in every painful situation , there can be a purpose. A time to help others who have stumbled along the path. When you have decided out  of fear and regretted it, have to courage to help others make better choices.  The temptation is to cocoon ourselves and pretend it never happened, but reach out and love others when they need it. www . kimvermaak.com https:/...

What are our greatest fears as humans?

Image
Did you know that one of them is extinction? In a hierarchy of fears, extinction forms the base of all of our fears.  When confronted with and pandemic, this fear jumps out above all, and it is a time when people can make practical or dangerous decisions. Another fear is the fear of separation, and this is what happens when we are quarantined.  When governments protect their population, some of these decisions run into our fear of loss of autonomy. When our movements are restricted, this fear shouts out as us, as we cannot travel and feel controlled by our circumstances. These are some feelings I explore in my book series, the Chronicles of Nadine.  When Muquin the last Silver Wing Dragon attacks Nadine’s village, the villagers fear that they will all wiped out. Nadine’s friends, family, and fellow villagers are separated from help and are confined in tunnels with no way of communicating with the outside world. The written word, like the spoken word,...
