Welcome to Weekend Writing Warriors, the weekly hop for everyone who loves to write! Today's excerpt is from the dark fantasy Imprisoned in Stone. This scene takes place a few mornings after the post, Keep Quiet. The awaited visitor arrives while Maerva is making the breakfast batter and the newcomer is not what Maerva expected. And now the Sunday Snippet.
Excerpt:
Noise in the doorway pulled Maerva's gaze from the bubbling pan. A tall, slender female casually leaned on a walking stick. The hem of her robe was dust-covered from travel as was the heavy sword that hung alongside her leg. Suliceen rushed over to greet the newcomer. “Greetings, Mistress Tralin. Would you like to break your fast?”
The woman Maerva now understood was the expected mage shook her head. “Thank you, Suliceen, but not at the moment. Perhaps, after I’ve seen to Beatreas. However, I could use someone to help me?”
Suliceen’s glower scanned the room as if searching for someone. Maerva held her breath and tried to become invisible.
