Excerpts : New Characters
Alizand
Alizand prowled about his bed chamber. He paused beside the window and pushed the
heavy draperies aside. Another day of
confinement. Since the day his
step-brothers had invaded the suite, forcing Alizand to reveal his affinity for
Fire, he’d been a prisoner.
At least the guards at the door believed he
couldn’t leave. They didn’t know about
the hidden sections and the secret rooms and passages to be found beyond the
walls. Though Alizand could slip away,
he should wait until night lest his room be checked. Dom Senet often made random visits during the
day. Only when Alizand’s personal guard
appeared could he escape these chambers. The corridors and places he could go
had to be kept secret.
He was bored. He even missed the tedious lessons he’d been
given by the clan elders during the short time he’d been acknowledged as his
father’s heir. Having his affinity
exposed had ended the dream of being deemed fit to become a prince. No one who could use one or all of the
elements could rule the princedom of Wesren
Valcon
Valcon pulled a knit cap low to hide his
hair and wrapped a scarf so his mouth and nose were covered. He opened the door of the stone house and
peered across the barren garden. Only a
skim of snow lay on the ground. The
weather had been strange this winter.
The heavy snowfall that had aided his friends’ escape had melted. Since that day only flurries had fallen. He’d heard the farms in the northern section
of the princedom had experienced one storm after another. The bitter cold made him shiver. Leaving the warmth of the house hadn’t been
his idea. Svana’s begging to visit Cook
for sweets had finally pushed him to the door.
He checked to see the little girl was
bundled before he lifted the basket of fruit and vegetables that had been
gleaned from the growing house this morning.
Svana danced outside ahead of him.
“Hurry, Valcon.” She used her heavy stick as a sword. Finchon and Larkea waited near the wall. Larkea pressed the stones in the proper sequence
and a segment of the wall slid inward.
“Do you have the list?” Valcon asked.
“In my head,” Larkea said.

Alizand's boredom will surely lead to mischief, right?
ReplyDeleteYou've got me worried for Valcon's safety. I hope this sortee for sweets isn't fatal.
