Welcome to another
Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors.
Here, writers 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 the wedding of her friends, when another Grand Master,
the Red Queen, Morrigu, dropped in, explosively.

Sunday’s snippet here: http://auroraspringernovels.blogspot.com/2015/09/snippet-2-from-horrid-wedding-for.html
Leaping
to his feet, Athanor raised his arms high above his head. Psi flared and sheets
of blue light rippled around the terrified wedding party, creating a protective
enclosure. Dropping his public disguise, his black locks tumbled to his
shoulders and his right eye blazed with blue psi light.
His
mind merged with Violet’s and he griped, “She
looks more devilish than ever.”
“Let me help.” Pressing her hand on his
shoulder, Violet supplemented his energy. Athanor concentrated on protecting
the innocent attendees of the ceremony from Morrigu and from his own deadly psi
emissions. He couldn’t easily attack Morrigu at the same time.
Grimacing
in fury, the Red Queen zapped red rays at Athanor, again and again.
Books 1 & 2 of
the Trilogy are published.

You create such a wonderful sense of mayhem and unbridled malevolence 😊 awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat was the idea, thanks!
DeleteThat nasty Red Queen. Off with her head!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - this trilogy pays homage to Alice through the Looking Glass.
DeleteI like how they have teamed up.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it romantic!
DeleteThe do work well together! Wonderfully, visual snippet, Aurora! I love that you pay homage to Alice. :-) I agree with Ed. Off with her head!
ReplyDeleteWe'll what happens to the Red Queen by the end of the book.
DeleteYour action scenes are always so descriptive and fluid at the same time! I've been struggling with one the past few days, so I'm just a little jealous, in a friendly sort of way. :-)
ReplyDeleteRemember, I'm posting the better scenes not the ones I'm struggling with.
DeleteFantastic action scene! Love the Red Queen reference too. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a White Mother, but the Alice theme breaks down quickly.
DeleteGreat action scene, very visual. It's nice to see Violet taking action.
ReplyDeleteA great chaotic snippet. Tense and dangerous.
ReplyDeleteIt's my first time meeting these two. I want to know more about the psi lights, what they can do, and the interaction between these characters. And what happens to the wedding guests...
ReplyDeleteCome again next Sunday.
DeleteThese characters are introduced in Book 1 in the trilogy, Grand Master's Pawn, which will be 99c from Sept 23-30.
Wildly dramatic scene in the best possible sense! So much at stake...
ReplyDeleteThanks! I aim for weird drama.
