Violet was in the nursery, cleaning
her son’s messy face, while he squirmed and giggled. She idly tracked the other
inhabitants of the castle with her empathic senses. Athanor knelt in the
library, his mind focused on the task of programming a drone to watch over
Yellia. Rascal padded around the book shelves, idly swishing his tail; the cat
was intrigued by the surge of activity since his master’s return. The Jacksons
were heading for the vegetable garden, trailed by the lone fluffy. Violet
smiled; her family was at peace, engaged in their normal routines.
A crack of thunder rattled the
windowpanes.
Varan bawled in fright.
“Hades, we’re under attack!”
Athanor’s shout resounded in her mind. Instantly, he appeared at her side,
bristling with psi flames.

So many interesting details. I was enthralled with them all! And I loved their reaction to thunder, obviously not used to it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's either unusual or else Athanor was alerted to intruders.
DeleteSo much for peace and quiet! Very dramatic change in tone as the thunder (or the attack) sounds. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteAthanor always was overprotective! Wait for next week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to break a peaceful scene!
ReplyDeleteThey rarely get a moment of peace in this book
DeleteLove how she can check in on everyone. Though I must say, I’m glad my mom didn’t have those powers! :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteSuch a peaceful scene - broken so suddenly and without warning. Hope it's just thunder and not an attack, what an enthralling snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You'll find out next week.
DeleteSo much for peace and relaxation!
ReplyDeleteNot much chance of that in this book!
DeleteNot thunder at all. Too bad -- this is much worse.
ReplyDeleteMaybe - lol
DeleteThere's not going to be any peace and quiet for a while it would seem. Enjoyed the snippet.
ReplyDeleteI'm told this story is very intense.
DeleteIt was so peaceful and calm until the thunder. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGood snippet. They thought cannon fire was thunder? Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's not cannons.
DeleteWOw--shattered that idyllic moment! Great job of setting it up. I was lulled into the moment. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the idea! lol
DeleteIf that really is just thunder Athanor's reaction is about on a par with my dog's. LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely details in this snippet.
Oh - my dog hate thunder too.
