Little late this week, I had a busy weekend and haven’t been able to sit down to do an update till now.
I had some good, lengthy writing sessions this week and got The Shadow of Vale over 71k words. I am in part of the story that has kinda stayed the same since early versions. It’s familiar but different and a rather emotional bit of the story so it has taken a bit out of me to get into, but I have come into the happier portion, so I think that’s helping me write more.
It also helps that the new story seems to be napping for now.
A snippet from this weeks efforts for your enjoyment:
Zuriel sat with his head resting on his arm as he had done most of his waking moments for the past day. Everything ached, not only from the awkward positions he’d spent his day and night in, but also from the battle. Once the adrenaline and shock had worn off, he’d discovered two gashes he’d sustained and several bruises he hadn’t noticed.
None of it mattered though.
The only thing filling his mind was the woman who lay unconscious on the bed before him. He held her limp hand in his hoping for the slightest twitch. He frequently searched her face for any sign that she would be coming back to him.
“Please…” the soft prayer fell from his lips for the thousandth time.
Since coming to Vale he’d been taught about the nymph God, the Great Creator, whom they sometimes called Voa. To his ear it sounded like the God he’d learned about at church and he wasn’t sure which one he was praying to anymore.
He’d pray to the whole pantheon of sorcerer and naim gods if it meant hearing her voice again; Feeling her touch.
