Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences.
Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today, I’ll continue the
horrid wedding scene from my WIP, Grand Master’s Mate, Book 3 in the trilogy. Violet
and her Grand Master, Athanor, are at her friend’s wedding when the Red Queen,
Morrigu, drops in, explosively.
You can
read last Sunday’s snippet here:
Blue psi
streaked from Athanor at his enemy. Whirling to face his threat, Morrigu flung
a red curtain to block the blue ray. The two opposing Grand Masters were evenly
matched, but Athanor was expending his energy to protect the unpowered people.
Shaken and helpless, Violet
bit her lip. Who would weaken first?
Bells chimed
and a pillar of white light appeared next to Lira. The scent of roses wafted
through the room. The bright pillar resolved into a tall lady with long, golden
hair and a flowing pink dress.
“Amarylla,”
Violet cried, recognizing the flowery scent of the Grand Master in spite of her human disguise.
Very colourful snippet--and now with the addition of scent. I love how you've used your magic to increase the sensory content.
