Tuesday Travel 92: Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

Welcome to Tuesday Travel. Every Tuesday, I will be presenting an excerpt of Witch Raising: The Book of Fire, the book in which Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul, is undertaking an initiatory journey.

 

About Witch Raising: The Book of Fire

Witch Raising is a new series with Brownie, the heroine of Demon Soul as the main character. This series is part of the House at the Crossing Series and follows Demon Soul and Demon and Fairy but instead of being centered on the adventure of Sahel and his demon friends, it follows Brownie as she goes from being a normal girl to a bad ass witch. She has been practicing magick for a while now, saving people from difficult situations but the people at the house, including Sahel aren't happy with her new calling. Feeling that she doesn't have a choice and has to keep learning witchcraft, Brownie leaves to meet other witches.

The excerpt, we start where we left off last week 

 

Most people were in red and yellow to celebrate the fire event. When she looked back at the lions, the purple shadow had disappeared from their eyes. She had seen their souls, she was sure of it but she didn't know what it meant or what she was supposed to do.

The first Soul she ever saw had been Yue's and her answer had been that they needed to be together, then she needed to get his soul back to him and then to protect it in Sahel but now Sahel was strong and she needed to protect herself first. But what could souls, of the same color as Sahel's no less, mean inside of fire lion statues, she had no idea. There was something strange already about this festival and her stone doing weird things and having weird reaction but the souls. She moved forward letting Josh touch the girl's feet and joined Samantha who was waiting on the side. She had said she wanted to observe but not participate in a cult that she didn't know about. Brownie could understand. Just coming here might have been a magic spell nobody knew about and she didn't want to know about the consequences of so many people doing the same thing but somehow it was said to be for good luck and she could do with a little bit more luck.

Josh had said that if he didn't do it, it was like climbing all those stairs for nothing and that would really piss him off. He wasn't really happy about being here, he was glaring at Brownie through his sunglasses. She couldn't see his eyes but she could feel them on her and she didn't know how to feel about it.

WeWriWar 345: The House at the Crossing 53

 

Hello everybody and welcome for a new Sunday of writing with Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday!

 

How are you doing? 

 

Let's continue with  "The House at the Crossing" and it's a prequel to Demon Soul and the demon series. It's a bit of a mix of Fantasy and Science-fiction.

 

It follows one of the books more obscure character as she first comes into the House. It's supposed to explain why there are so many people is the house and sort of where they come from and at the same time be a first time adventure for the main character as she needs to adapt to her new role and the new version of who she is. 

Let's start right at where we left off last time, let's meet Wendy.  

 

I’m holding Malicia and I have to admit I'm staring at Wendy too. She is dressed like your average teenager with jeans and a baggy white hoody sweater but the rest of her is totally different. She has dog like ears a bit higher than the ears of a human would be. They are partially hidden by her electric blue hair, short for the most part but with longer braid finished with beats and bells which have my son really interested. Her eyes are flashy green with a split in the middle instead of a pupil. That's actually my clue. I give Malicia to Aunt Teresa and take Hiroshi from the new girl. Her furry tail comes to the front of her body and she grabs it in her hand as if she feels distraught.

“I wasn't going to bite him, I swear,” she says revealing rather pointed teeth.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 309

Welcome to a new part of Vampire Heart unedited. Have you been bitten yet? Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.

Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.

We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape.

Viorel dreamed of Sorina and woke up not really remembering anything. Traveling to Paris, he arrives at "La cour des miracles". He is rescued by a stranger who turned out to be Nicolas Flamel, the alchemist he was looking for. Nicolas does some strange experiment without Viorel's agreement. Some people are looking for Nicolas's secrets. On the other side of Europe, Sorina awakes and Viorel's past in haunting him. Viorel discovered that he can change into a wolf but that's not the easiest thing to handle. After finding out that a younger version of Nicolas might not be acting with his best interest at heart, Viorel decides to leave for the north. He is now traveling with two people, Alexej who needed to get out of Praha and Irina who he accidentally rescued.

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left off last time.

 

That was new, I had never really see her faint before but I still moved fast enough to catch her. I wonder what had made her faint, if it was my transformation or my naked body. She was wet and cold in my arms and I needed to hurry back before anyone else noticed that we had disappeared. Her seeing me change was a big enough trouble to deal with, I still didn’t have a plan about it. I knew she could keep a secret. She had kept hers until tonight and she would never have told me, she had told it to someone who she thought was unable to repeat it. And she had never told anyone that I was a vampire. She could have yelled it in the first inn, that she had been kidnapped, show them the bites. I vagely recalled that she wanted me to change her to take her revenge. I didn’t really recall her words but my wolf form had understood her emotion and her situation. I was still unable to formulate clear human thoughts in my mind, I was moving on instinct and I was glad about it because I didn’t really recognise the forest around me. The only thing telling me that we were in the right direction was that I could find and pick up my clothes on the way.

It was calm outside when we emerged from the forest. I deduced that everybody was still too busy to have been thinking about us. I attached Irina to the rope she had made herself with my bed sheet to escape from the bedroom. I still couldn’t believe that she hadn’t done it before to escape me, the thought of a human wanting to be changed into a vampire was alien to me. As far as my memory went, I had only seen human changed against their will or foolish guys like the new born vampire from Cosmin which probably wouldn’t have stood a chance to survive even if I hadn’t killed him. I dressed up as it was still the easier way to get my clothes up in my room. They were really covered with mud and I would have to ask the inn keeper to get me a bath. Irina also needed one when she was going to wake up. I climbed using the bed sheet first, it was more difficult than I had imagine, my coordination was still lacking due to lack of blood and the feet I had hurt when jumping the first time was starting to make itself known again. I managed to reach the balcony anyway and pulled on the bed sheet to get Irina still unconscious up in my bedroom.

Thursday Fiction 298: Parallel Slip

Welcome back to a new part of Parallel Slip, where we follow the adventures of Frederique through her slip in different parallel universes.

Let's start right where we left off last week, with Frederique fainting into a different universe.

 

"Because you ask me? I think... That's how I always thought about it. One of my other self gets in trouble and I slip away from my body and from my life to come to the rescue."

"But you know nothing about me, nothing about this world, nothing about this ship, nothing about our customs, you should have followed Tucker no matter what, Fin is just... too young and too ambitious and too bold and he changed so much."

"You would have followed protocol and you would have followed Tucker and let him deal with things and forgotten about your father and Antares?" I couldn't believe it. Was I really doing everything wrong? Did I really mess up my other selves lifes completely?

"Yes, I would have. Somehow I know my father would have wanted me to do exactly what you did but, it's something I can't deal with, and then you keep coming back and making everything worth. It's true that now I have to just face the consequences of my own actions but they weren't mine, they were yours."

"Talking about that, putting Fanny in charge was the worse idea ever," I said.

"Which is why I removed her as soon as I could and she resents me for it and I'm almost certain that on the top of everything she was the one sabotaging to engine. You see, it couldn't have been Tucker, he is a control and safety freak, he can't possibly get anything done outside of protocol," Michelle said.

I didn't like how this conversation was going. It was easy to blame me when I had no control over getting here in the first place.

"Except placing his own person chosen crew on board to take over yours," I said.

"I still don't understand how this happened," Michelle said, her voice was barely audible.

"Stay with me, I can't ear you," I said.

"It's hard to stay here, your memories are overflowing me and I can't concentrate on here and now, it takes a lot of focus."
