Sharing more dragons today. If you remember last week, a dragon snatched Ronan up in his talons and whisked him up in the air. Ravyn's had the wind knocked out of her, so is having difficulty communicating to the dragons that she is not in need of a rescue. If you'd like to refresh your memory, click here!
Lareina
stepped out of the door, throwing her hands wide and casting an arc of Light
that danced across the skies. Ribbons of
color streamed from her fingers and danced across the magnificent ruby
creatures, wrapping them in the power of the Light. “Stop,” she commanded.
Ena
stilled her angry thrashing, and gazed across the trampled grasses at Lareina. She curled up on the ground and looked up to
her son, Ardan, who hovered over the woods. Ronan still dangled from his grasp, arms wind
milling and fear a-flutter in his eyes.
“Drop
the boy and come on down,” Ena growled.
“No,”
gasped Ravyn, “Don’t drop him.”
I hope you enjoyed. All comments delightfully anticipated and welcomed!!!
"wind milling" Nice visual!
ReplyDeleteHa! In the nick of time. I agree. Don't drop him!
Nice 8, Millie! :-)
Ronan's feeling pretty helpless right about now. Thanks for stopping in Teresa!
DeleteLovely job!! I especially like the part about the ribbons of color!! I'm really enjoying theses snippets!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lauren. The magic in Aigerach (stories setting) works with threads of Light or Darkness. I always felt like I'd love to see magic at work and wondered what it might look like : )
Deleteawesome!!! I'm sitting there right with her saying NOOOOOO don't drop him! Nice job and beautiful description of the magic. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan.
DeletePoor Ronan, please don't drop him LOL. Another excellent excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the ladies will manage to keep poor Ronan safe : )
DeleteOnce again, a communications problem butts in.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of just an extension of the whole situation. Dragons have an odd sense of humor : )
DeleteLoved the scene. Felt like I was right there. I sure hope Ronan won't be dropped! lol
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed Karen.
Delete"Drop" is probably a poor choice of words. 'Carefully set down' might be better for his peace of mind!
ReplyDeleteLove the phrase about "fear a-flutter in his eyes."
Thanks Caitlin. Ronan sure is hoping for a careful set down...we'll see next week if that happens : )
DeleteNice snippet. Very vivid descriptions and good action.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteNo, don't drop him! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this scene so much!
Glad to hear it. It was fun to write.
DeleteLove the tone and the description of magic. Don't drop him! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, magic is so much fun to write.
DeleteTense and exciting, great imagery!
ReplyDeleteAhh. Love this! Very magical, and I adore that she has control over them! Terrific snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne, glad you stopped by : )
DeleteMagic and dragons and threads of light--oh my! Exciting and so well written as if it's happening right now. Super eight! Millie, can you contact me re: my senior short stories and some promo? cgordon3@verizon.net
ReplyDeleteThanks Charmaine. I'll send you a note.
DeleteI love the "ribbons of color" that streamed from her fingers. Great 8!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, the magic in Aigerach is very visual : )
DeleteDon't drop him! Lovely description. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Elaine. We'll see if he can get to the ground safely next week!
DeleteNo! Don't drop him! You paint a great picture with your words, Millie.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope my writing brings up mental images.
DeleteYou've described it so well. It's so beautifully detailed, and yet moves the story along. Great moment here. I'm hoping Lareina can save him!
ReplyDeleteWe'll see very soon : )
DeleteLove the imagery. This is something I should attempt when the old WIP is ready ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks much Jeri!
DeleteIt would be funny if he drops him... I like that dragon. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a good guy, he doesn't need to get a bump on the noggin'.
