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 Tessa’s wedding when the Red Queen, Morrigu, drops
in, explosively. Am I channeling Jedi knights here? A lady in a pink dress popped
in to help save the wedding.
Last Sundays’ snippet ended with: Alarmed by the double threat,
the Red Queen broke away. You can read the rest
here:

Her red figure whirled and dissipated. Just
before she vanished, Athanor threw his dagger at her. The blade clattered to
the floor, its tip stained in blood. He had scored a hit.
Muting his power, Athanor switched to his
disguise as a precaution. He sagged into a chair, bowed his head in his hands and
groaned, “She escaped. By the horn of Dagda, where in the voidal galaxy will
she hide?” His mind blurred in exhaustion from the tremendous outflow of his energy.
Violet placed her hand on his bare neck and emitted her empathy to recharge his
psi power.
Escaped again? I’ll have to switch to something different
next time.
Books 1 & 2 of
the Trilogy are published.
As always, your comments
are welcome.
"The wedding blasts continues" ... nothing like a little double entendre, eh?
ReplyDeleteOf course!
DeleteWhere indeed! Leaving chaos behind her. Nicely done Aurora. Thanks for sharing🌹
ReplyDeleteThe Red Queen's hallmark!
DeleteGreat snippet, and I loved Athanor's line. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat-she blows the place up and disappears. Fluid action as always.
ReplyDeleteShe's notorious for this behavior.
DeleteI like seeing his exhaustion in the aftermath of the battle. Very "humanizing."
ReplyDeleteEven if he claims not to be entirely human.
DeleteI've got to get caught up! Thank you for the snippet.
ReplyDeleteTake your time!
DeleteI love the way you wind down the tension, after all that action and fighting. Excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteMy stories often alternate action and quieter scenes.
