Game version of prince Kordelius |
“I see,” Kallisto muttered half amused, she knew that he was going to talk forever and ever, once he started about prince Kordelius and how bad everything around him was, nothing could stop him.
What Kelpie didn’t know was that the fairies had sent her a picture of the prince when they came to take hers and that he was looking totally charming with his almond-shaped blue eyes and his short deep blue hair. She also knew that he was playing the flute as well. But the more she had been looking at the picture alone in her room at night, the more she had been thinking that he was just too perfect to be really lovable. Kelpie’s talk was just part of his plan and she knew it, every time he was lying he would start his sentence with a long “well” as to gather the best lies possible. He could almost have made her like Kordelius. It would have been a nice surprise to discover how good he was if Kelpie had been her only informer. But it would have been absolutely horrifying as well, to wait to be married to someone as awful as Kelpie described him.

Eep! The drama! Wonder how he'll get out of this? Great snippet. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one funny story with enough characters to make it a Russian novel. Charming pic of the prince. Is he good or bad?
ReplyDeleteA bit of a reveal from last week's snippet. Me thinks Kelpie's comments come from being just a wee bit jealous!
ReplyDeleteThe Murders of Polly Frisch
I love that she always seems to know what Kelpie is up to---and she just goes her own way. :D
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. So many plot twists.
ReplyDeleteLoved the bit about starting lies off with 'Well....' - I think I've probably done that before myself. lol. Great work! :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly know how to pack drama into a few sentences. Plenty of emotion in this snippet.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with Evelyn. Nice bit of insight into truth and lies. The hesitation is a dead giveaway! Good 8, Linda :-) Great descriptions. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour characters are very likable and it's a pleasure reading about them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the snippet of plots and turns. Love the pictures as well. :)
ReplyDeleteFairy princes with iPods?
ReplyDeleteAnd poor Kelpie thinks she believes him.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she knows when Kelpie is lying! That will be a huge help to her. And if the guy looks/seems too good to be true, he probably is.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad she can tell when Kelpie's lying. That will be a huge help in this situation. And if that guy looks/seems too good to be true, he probably is.
ReplyDelete"too perfect to be loveable." An interesting line!
ReplyDeletePoor Kelpie sounds like a terrible liar!
ReplyDeleteHmm... wonder if the picture is a bit of a lie, too. It might make him look better than he really does.
I like her, she's so sensible and grounded. Enjoyed the snippet, such a different light on the fairy world. But i'm ready for more Seti now LOL. I love him!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, great snippet!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing the way she views him and knows when he is lying.
