Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop for everyone who loves to write! Visit the other participants on the list and read, and comment on their 8sunday posts.


​Today's excerpt is from the fantasy romance Hatchling's Vengeance. To set, the scene, the dragshi have located the Parant's forces. Talann is saying farewell to Glynnes as he leaves for battle. She has fought him, demanding to fight at her his side. Even though they had been engaged, they hadn't yet had their formal ceremony, a situation Talann offered to rectify that night. She has refused because she knew it would distract him, his father, and the rest of the dragshi from preparing for the war. And now the Sunday Snippet, Talann's response to her refusal.

“To my last day, to my last breath.” His tight embrace reinforced his words. “As I have made a vow, Glynnes, I need one from you.” The sorrow in his gaze deepened. “Promise me that if I fall, you will live.” After a moment, he added, “Without the formal handfasting to tighten our bond beyond breaking, I know you are strong enough.”

His pause showed Glynnes the effort Talann was taking to maintain control of his emotions. The depth of it shocked her. No one had ever cared for her to the point of giving up everything.

“Promise me to live,” he pressed. “However long it takes, I will wait for you on the other side of the veil.”
