An interrupted wedding 3 #WeWriWa from WIP Grand Master's Mate

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.

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.

Snippet 2 from the horrid wedding for #WeWriWa

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 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 friend, Tessa. The bridegroom, Phineas, won an award for inventing an instrument to measure psychic energy. The Council of Grand Masters is likely to ban such a device, but Athanor approved its use in a battle with Morrigu.

Note 1, exposure to the unshielded power of a Grand Master can be lethal.

Note 2, some of the wedding guests are aliens.

Last week, we ended with an explosion. Boom; a red explosion shattered the glass panes in the curved wall of the atrium.

. Screams mingled with the tinkle of glass shards on the stone-tiled floor and menacing psi pressure vibrated through the room.

Eyes flaring ruby light, Morrigu dropped into the central space. Her long blonde braids and four red-skinned arms were a nightmarish hybrid of Celtic and Hindu myths.

Tessa crumpled in a dead faint. Phineas caught her in his arms and backed away from the horrid scarlet beams of the Red Queen. Sweeping her gaze around the atrium, Violet was startled by the devastating effects of Morrigu’s raw power. Half of the wedding guests had collapsed in psychic trauma and the rest were rigid with shock. His face blanched, Srini clutched at the chair back in front of him and slid to the floor. Ears folded back and trembling, Lira bared sharp teeth and spat at the terrible apparition. The shelly carapace of Professor Gullish sprawled on the floor, thin legs twitching in the air and pink underbelly exposed.

Books 1 & 2 of the Trilogy are published.

Grand Master's Game - on Moon Station -Snippet for #SFFSat

Welcome to another Saturday of Science Fiction & Fantasy snippets exchanged by several writers. http://scififansat.blogspot.com/

I'll switch to a WIP soon when I have a piece in readable shape. My contribution this week continues the scene on Moon Station from Grand Master’s Game, Book 2 in the Grand Master’s Trilogy. Last week, the excerpt ended with a woman’s voice. Read it here:

Excerpt: 

“Her pawn’s collar stopped the jaws from closing,” Athanor grated. The Grand Master clambered to his feet and retrieved his dagger from the punctured eye of their attacker. He lent his hand to help Violet scramble up.

She hung shakily to his arm and looked around. Six bulky yellow-striped bodies lay on the floor, their legs still twitching. A tall woman in a survival suit stood two paces away. Her open faceplate showed the white skin and dark goggles of an albino. Two men in combat gear moved from body to body, aiming heavy duty lasers in case an insect revived.

The fragmented body lying in front of Kondric and the green goo spattered over his survival suit showed his accurate aim with one of his grenades. He grinned at her and wiped green blood from his face. One workman had defended himself with the toolbox and screwdriver he brandished. The second workman lay on the ground, blood pumping from his neck where the mandibles had cut through the tough suit. Sickened by the gory sight, Violet turned away.

The albino woman focused on Athanor’s tall figure and asked, “How did you get here? Did you fix the portals?”
