Hello Warriors and dear readers.
Thank you so much for all the comments you left on last week-end snippet. I am really happy to announce that I won JuNoWriMo yesterday and that Vampire Heart reached 103360 words and I'm ready to add 50000 more at camp July starting tomorrow. Demon and Fairy was sent to CreateSpace few days ago and you can win a signed copy by participating to Mich's Summer Mystery (WARNING: the mystery may contains Rhinoceros and weird grammar)
Now let's go to this week snippet, more on Demon and Fairy
In the previous episodes, Seti was in pain and flying to see Kallisto who is the only person who can help him get ride of it. He remembered how he had met her the first time but unfortunately this time it was late at night and she was nowhere to be seen. Seti couldn't spend the night on the Beach and decided to fly home not noticing that another demon entered her house. We followed Seti and discovered his chaotic bedroom before meeting his family for breakfast. They were arguing about Seti's sister's arranged wedding being canceled by the other family and Samira was crying. Their father said that Seti would just have to apologize. and we learn what Seti thinks about the situation. Last time, Seti was meeting the twin's father and today he will finally apologize.
Here are my 8 sentences. They have been rearranged and some paragraphs omitted to make sense as a snippet.
“What did you just say about my sister? That you could find someone more deserving…” Seti started insisting on the last words.
He
put his hands on the desk, and the desk started to melt, faster and faster. The
twins’ father jumped backward pushing his chair into the library behind him,
breaking the glass and making books fall on the floor. He was looking at Seti
with anger mixed with fear, and maybe a little bit of fascination and envy for
the power he would never have, something money no matter how much could
never buy. Seti smirked. It was enough already, just a little demonstration of
his particular talent, literally. He tried to calm down, to push the Chaos away
from his hands. The desks’ molecules were rearranging quickly turning the wood
into a tree, separating the paint which was leaking on the floor. Pieces flew in
the room all around him.
I hope you enjoyed today's excerpt and see you next week for more of
Seti's adventures. Next week we will try to fly to the beach again!

I think the twin's father will think twice about messing with him now!

ReplyDeleteYes, that's what Seti has been telling himself, but releasing this kind of power has some other effects on other people.
Yup. I agree. He'll definitely think twice. Pretty cool that he can turn that desk back into the tree it once was.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's some power! What an interesting idea!
ReplyDeleteI was LOVING all the details in the destruction of the desk!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I sense this going badly very soon. Tossing around power just to make a point--never a good idea.
ReplyDeleteSeti's packing quite a punch! Loved the detail here - especially the "molecules rearranging...back into a tree" Very cool!

I really like that last bit: "The desks’ molecules were rearranging quickly turning the wood into a tree, separating the paint which was leaking on the floor. Pieces flew in the room all around him." So visual!

ReplyDeleteNo messing with him now! Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Seti will apologize for the destruction?
ReplyDelete"Sorry 'bout the desk. Have a tree instead. You can make a new one."
Anyhow, interesting power. I love it!
Very interesting power. Love the whole scene.
ReplyDelete(P.S. If there are two comments I apologize. I had one and had to log in and it disappeared.)
Such interesting characters. It has the feel of old mythology! Nice 8! :-)
