Welcome to another
Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy snippets exchanged by writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/
My contribution this
week continues the excerpt from my WIP, Book 2 in the Grand Master’s Trilogy, the Grand
Master’s Game.
Excerpt
The Grand Master pointed a
finger at the metal box on the desk and demanded, “What is the purpose of that
noisy contraption?”
Phineas gulped, “It’s my
invention. An instrument to detect psychic power.” He patted the shiny top of
the box. “Did you break it?”
“You are fortunate. I merely located
the off switch,” Athanor said as the blue beams from his eyes played over the
box.
“How could you touch the switch
from the other side of the office?” Tessa’s voice was shrill.
The Professor gulped again and
muttered, “My dear Tessa, he is a Grand Master.”
“Just so. I suggest you keep
your detector well away from Council Hall.” The room vibrated with the ominous
undertone.
Violet giggled. She caught
Athanor’s blue gaze and sent, “Show off!”
He tossed her an image of the box exploding on exposure to the full power of
twelve Grand Masters.

Ah! So the Grand Master finally has a sense of humour. LOL!
ReplyDeleteViolet discovered his sense of humor in Book1 - otherwise he would be totoally obnoxous.
DeleteSo just how much force does a 12 Grand Master detonation have? Probably don't want to find out, I'm guessing.
ReplyDeleteOk - possible idea for Book 3, except some get killed.
DeleteI like the interaction between Violet and Athanor in this. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! So do I.
DeleteCan one Grand Master explode the box? I'm thinking the answer to that is obvious.
ReplyDeleteIf they want to. The box is detecting unshielded power.
