Sneak peek and health update
10 years ago
Hey guys, I apologize for the lack of content. I've been in and out of the hospital with stomach problems for the last month (culminating in a colonoscopy, hooray!) and am now awaiting the results of my biopsy. So that's kind of the reason for the radio silence.
HOWEVER! I was feeling compelled to stop being barely able to move in bed watching TV and barely move in bed and write some more Symbiote!
As anyone that's been following along probably knows, the next episode of Symbiote is called "From Ashes, Risen" and is all about Vexie's Zealot brother, Reyshan. This provides some much-needed depth to his character, another tip of the trident for the over-arching conflict, and some insight into the inner workings of the super hush-hush secret Zealot Order. It's heavily in progress (I'm about 2100 words in, and not quite halfway with the content I want included), but I figured since I've kept everyone in the dark for so long I'd give you guys a little excerpt or a "teaser", if you will. Just to hold you over. =)
Reluctantly, Reyshan had lifted his eyes to meet with hers, but they had drifted again to the armature she wore, similar to Dez' but somehow different. She followed his gaze quietly.
"This, although we may be getting ahead of ourselves," her tone was almost loving, "is my gauntlet."
With no warning to speak of, the plates and pieces and parts had disassembled themselves and detached, dancing all around her, energy and power arcing between them. He had seen her eyes glow slightly from beneath her hood.
Reyshan's breath had caught in his throat at the beauty and wonder of what he beheld, but the unbridled fury scarcely held in check beneath it had not escaped his notice. A word slipped through his lips.
"Magic..."
Just as smoothly as the bits of the gauntlet had freed themselves from her, they had reconstructed themselves back to her appendage. The air still crackling, she reached up and pulled her hood back from her face, smiling knowingly at his untempered awe.
"Magic is naught but Science beyond Its time."
And there you go! I'll HOPEFULLY have the completed piece out by tonight sometime, but tomorrow at the very latest. It's shaping up quite nicely, and I think all of my readers will be very pleased. =)
