Re: Acts/ Dictates/ Mandates/ Mantle - Amy's Thread
We're on the same page, New Jersey. Here is an excerpt.
Jaylene lifted her hand. “It’s time to go. I’m sorry, but I can’t leave you in here.”
Lewellen’s face pinched and he blanched. “I understand.”
Petra hesitated and then pulled Lewellen’s face toward her own. “Thank you for being here.” She kissed him, quick and hard.
He stiffened and then wrapped his arms around her shoulders, claiming Petra’s mouth as his own.
Jaylene let them have their moment and looked away. They were like priests on holiday. There was no penalty in what two of the faith did on their own time.
Lewellen cleared his throat. “I guess we’re ready. Make it quick, Lance.”
Jaylene turned back. A single line of energy entwined about their hands, glowing where their palms touched. Bonded, but this union is willing rather than forced. She remembered the multiple magical tendrils cojoining Caleah and Petra, allowing possession rather than cooperation.
Like a Horror but without the ring.
Jaylene clenched the Lance, feeling like the thought was slipping through her fingers. I’d have to ask Breckin and compare it to Petra’s account. Pity I didn’t spend more time asking...
A chill ran up Jaylene’s spine. Caleah used the same magic as the Horror. She was weaker without Petra’s soul to drain.
In the library while reading the diaries, how did the Voice deal with the Horror possessing his brother?
He harvested the souls with his spear. Until only the Horror remained. He weakened it. That was how he won. He tried to tell me, but I didn’t understand.
“I know how to destroy the Horror.”
“Ma’am?” Lewellen asked with a crack in his voice.
Alda clenched Jaylene’s shoulder. “How?”
And Norm, I always liked the idea of having Yunker and Anver in the first book, but it got panned. I'd love to put them back into play. I like the idea of making a side-story that allows Anver/Yunker to be featured earlier. I'll see what I can do.
