This snippet is from Wytchfae – Runes and shows the heroine Kelly, with her ghostly allies, as she seeks help to retrieve Ingvar from the Grims:
The three ghosts stood as if rooted to the ground where Kelly had strategically placed them, Svob in the southwest, Varn in the northwest, and Hyge in the east. Their wide-eyed expressions told her she’d be lucky if they stayed with the plan. She walked the circle three times, gathering and settling the energy in clockwise rotation. Earth energy rose up to meet and blend with that of faery. The power felt ancient and primal as it entered the soles of her feet and the top of her head, to come together in the heart region and merge smoothly in her throat.
Golly, I’m so intrigued by this story! Great hook 🙂
So fascinating…I love the merging of magic and it lending to her power…Wonderful description
Ooh yes, I liked this bit of the story!
I like where this one is heading. It sounds like a great read! I can’t wait to hear more 🙂
A most excellent hook, Flossie!
That earth energy sounds pretty darn good. I’d like to soak up some of that myself!
She sounds powerful, gathering up earth energy. Makes me wonder what will happen next, how she’ll retrieve Ingvar, and whether or not the ghosts will stick to her plan. Nice hook 🙂
She’s about to speak something powerful. I can feel it!
I love reading practical magic. Great job.
