One of these days I'll include more of my classical collection into my playlist.
I felt like a force of nature; fiery wrath given flesh and blood and turned loose. I took a hard, heavy step towards the displacer beast. No longer was it a thing of terror and death in my eyes. Now it looked much more like a small insect waiting to be squashed. And it knew it.
But death would not take it laying down. A defiant roar rocked through my ears. The night practically bent around the tentacle as it lashed towards me. But I was much faster. My sizzling hand grabbed a fistful of sinue and fur. I was delighted by the scream of pain I was rewarded with.
Something in my neck twinged as I felt my elation turn to raw, destructive fury. I tossed aside the ruined flesh and dashed towards the creature. The world whizzed by at a blur and within a few heartbeats I was standing in front of it. It whimpered again.
My flaming palm found the feline muzzle and slammed it backwards with a blast of flames. The night lit up momentarily as a blue copy of itself, stark and somehow cold despite the heat. My head flew back in a triumphant shout as limp flesh fell to the floor. At my foot, a smoking skull lay grinning up at me.
"Wow. Evocation and self-enhancement. For an Awakened, that's impressive. I told you there was magic to be had in you." The voice in my ear purred.
"This is incredible! I don't know how I did it and I can barely believe it... but wow!" I shouted, excitement driving my voice. A dull throb started at the base of my neck. I ignored it.
My antics enticed a chuckle from the green fairy.
"Don't worry. Soon you'll know how to call fire and wind and water on your own. For now, this was just me borrowing your magic." I felt her feet dig against my shoulder. I didn't immediately realize what she was doing.
"Borrowing... You can do that?" I wondered aloud.
I didn't get my answer that night. Her hands pulled out from my neck. With them rushed adrenaline, magic and my consciousness. I didn't even remember hitting the floor.
I feel like I should be getting more then this done in 20 minutes, but even this much output a day is a good step for me. 386 words. Not horrible I suppose.
How much do you get done in 20 minutes?

FA+

But at the very least, I try to write something every day.

One day I'll get myself to the point where I can write like that. I aspire to get there one day. ^_^
I wonder what will happen next ^^,
