This draft is up to 17,400 words. I still have a lot of the larger plot falling into place. Hopefully it doesn’t completely change again before I have a chance to write it, haha!
It was a lot of fun to write this week thought none of it is particularly exciting.
Here is a little snippet from my efforts this week:
Halvar groaned pulling Zuriel from his musings.
“Good lord, could you think quieter?”
“Ray?” Zuriel stood and stepped closer to the bed.
Halvar winced. “I had no idea you would start out at a hundred.”
Zuriel shook his head. “I don’t understand.”
You have naim magic, you’re telepathic and you’re thinking incredibly loudly at me.
Zuriel stumbled back a step as Halvar’s voice echoed in his head. Halvar chuckled and squinted at his friend.
“I don’t, uh, sorry? How do I not?”
“Imagine your head as a physical space,” he said, closing his eyes again, “and keep your thoughts there. And no, you don’t do this to everyone, we have a soft link which gives you more access to me than others.” He cracked his right eye open to look at Zuriel again. “Though I think you could probably yell at anyone telepathically if you tried.” He closed his eyes again. “You’re absurdly loud.”
