Back to the month of something in the air that drive us all to write over 50,000 words.
Here's a snippet of what I'm working on, how about you?
“Take those two away.”
The voice of the Erlkonig startled her. She turned. Watched as
the Guard escorted the two offenders of magic away. She couldn’t call them
parents at all – they hadn’t raised her. They hadn’t been there her entire life
until they wanted something from her. Of her.
They tried to put up a fight. Without magic, they were nothing.
That could
have been me.
The thought haunted her.
If she had been raised by these two, she would have wound up on
the other side of the coin. Between light and dark she was already walking
along the grey line. She knew going to the dark side wasn’t an option. Yet,
there were also repercussions for going too far into the light.
Her parents had gone to both extremes.
When the sounds of protest from them faded, she was left among a
crowd. While they were all friends, it was still too much.
The power the book had blasted had drawn out everyone within the
town boundaries.
“Miss Smok?”
Her name cleared some of the daze in her eyes. Her mind was still
foggy. There was a haze that was trying to clear.
Shaking away the cobwebs she saw the forest.
Across the field she watched someone emerge from the shadows of
the trees. They stumbled slightly, as though the legs were unfamiliar on land
or with the land. They stumbled a while before straightening and looking up. At
her.
