Find the Word Tag
Thanks to @chauceryfairytales for the tag!
My words were cloud, wind, hair and floor.
I could probably have found all of these in my current wip for NaNo but decided instead to pull from my wip trilogy (it needs a little love whilst sitting on the backburner for November). Trying to keep them as spoiler free as possible, and to aid that I won't be identifying which books each passage is from. Just know each does appear at some point in the Venatores de Mythos trilogy.
Cloud
“How long do we need to wait?” Shahrazad sits on the sand, fanning herself with her hands. She looks to Diana who’s fuming, stomping around letting out small, agitated noises, and waits for a reply. “Three hours.” Diana spits out the words, collapsing onto the sand beside Shahrazad and sending up a small dust cloud as she does.
Wind
“Ach, okay, yes it’s been lovely meeting you too.” Shahrazad laughs as the ticklish tongue ceases, Angha gives her a happy bark before launching off the ground with a gust of wind. In seconds, the fantastic beast she’d only heard of in her mother’s stories is concealed once more amongst the leaves. “Goodbye.”
Hair
“Well that’s not a great start,” sighs Nico as he brings his palms to his face, he pushes his fingers up along his forehead into his hair and then out. “This is going to take a lot of work, so uh why don’t you head back to the dorms while I figure out how best to instruct you.”
Floor
‘It’s not really like they expect everyone to be combative, they surely recruited me for a more intellectual reason.’ Shahrazad finds herself picking up Selby’s bad habit of biting her lip, as she pulls herself from the floor to exit the facility. ‘Allegria said it was to do with the fact I speak multiple languages, and surely that isn’t meant to translate to physical engagement.’
Very gently tagging @keysandopenmind, @kelefox, @innocentlymacabre and @cottonberryfinn - no pressure to do it unless you want to! Your words are chaos, poison, blood and cold.
