Welcome to another Sunday
with Weekend
Writing Warriors. Meet writers in various genres and
read 8-10 sentence snippets of their stories. Find a new author and sample
their work. Enjoy!
I’m continuing snippets from my WIP. Cosmic Wars is Book 5 of the Grand Masters’ Galaxy, and continues the adventures of Violet
and Athanor Griffin, the super psychic Grand Masters.
Draft Blurb
Grand
Master Athanor Griffin has escaped from beyond the Cosmic Rift and he is eager
to tackle his enemies - after he has relaxed with Violet and their baby son.
Their peaceful family reunion does not last for long. The Council has declared
Athanor dead and its members are fighting for his position as Chair. Hordes of
bloodsucking Ixioth slavers threaten galactic civilization, and a new enemy has
emerged from the alternate universe, an enemy immune to the Grand Masters’
psychic powers. Soon, the dynamic couple are swamped by pleas for help. Athanor
swears to crush the insectoid Ixioths and expel the Nulls from the galaxy,
while Violet has vowed to save the captive children of Cinerea. Can the two
Griffins reconcile their divergent promises, or must they separate to rescue
the prisoners and defeat the invading armies?
I’m continuing the first part of the story (unpolished and
may change.) Any suggestions to improve my blurb and initial lines are
especially welcome.
I’ve skipped a few lines from last week. You can read last
week’s snippet here: https://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2018/05/odd-alien-senses-snippet-from-cosmic.html
A column of pink mist formed in
the middle of the room, and quickly resolved into the flower Grand Master,
Amarylla Threeleaf. The Wistralian’s three giant petals were tightly furled in
a long bud above her short stalk and tangle of brown rootlets.
She opened her petals, wafting
the scent of roses. Their translators rendered her greeting, “Griffin Grand
Masters, your brilliant presence sweetens sap of Brightness Amarylla.”
A courteous host, Athanor stood
to give a formal bow, and waved his hand in a cordial gesture, “Welcome to my
castle, Grand Master Threeleaf. I am grateful for your generosity in guiding
the Council during my absence.”
Her petals paled, and Amarylla’s
leaves rustled, “Absence of Griffin Chair sprouted thorns on Council.”
Sparking blue fire from his eyes,
Athanor grunted, “Hades, I guessed as much. Tell us the bad news.”
“After Grand Master Violet blew
into the Cosmic Rift, not fifteen Terran days passed before Council declared
Griffin dead.”
