#SundaySnippets, #WeekendWarriors, 'Dancing With Fate' - "An evil older than time itself"

Hello fellow Snippeteers and readers.  Welcome to my Weekend Warriors post. I'm continuing  with another snippet from my fantasy novella, Dancing With Fate. Thank you to everyone who's been following my snippets so far, and been kind enough to comment.

BACKGROUND:
Having fulfilled the mission set by Apollo, Terpsichore the muse of dance is preparing to return to Olympus when she meets the mysterious Myrddin.  She is lured towards a host of glimmering, evil red lights, and although she senses the danger, she is now without her powers and has no means of resisting them. Myrddin rescues her and holds her in his arms. They kiss and he releases her swiftly, for he is betrothed to another This leads directly on from last week's snippet ..."Forgive me. It was just...I was so relieved the Ellylldan didn't take you."

SNIPPET  (As always, please forgive the creative punctuation to comply with the ten sentence rule.)

"Take me where - and who are the Ellylldan?"

"Goblin fire," he dropped her hands, put an arm lightly around her shoulder, and led her back to the campfire. He poked it with a stick until it flared up and she drew closer to the heat, "the Ellylldan lure the unwary into the bog land, those who follow them are never seen again." He paused,"of course, you are not from these parts, so you would not have heard of them."

"I had the sense of evil...an evil older than time itself."

Myrddin nodded, "they are certainly an ancient evil...and not confined to Cymru either. They appear in different guises in all four corners of the world."

Terpsichore wondered how he knew so much, it seemed, however, there was a lot about Myrddin she did not know. She wrinkled her nose as the heat from the fire dried the mud on her clothes, producing a putrid smell. 

"I think I should bathe and get rid of this mud."

DANCING WITH FATE


When Terpsichore, the Muse of Dance, is assigned to revisit the land of Wales, her task seems simple enough. She is unaware there is a hidden agenda. Before she can return to Olympus her path crosses that of the mysterious Myrddin, and her heart is lost. But Myrddin is promised to another. His mind is set on the dangerous task that lies before him, and the woman he has sworn to save. Nevertheless, he cannot deny the growing attraction between him and the beautiful stranger he meets along the way. 

 Terpsichore and Myrddin face a deadly force that threatens to part them forever. Is she destined to lose the only man she has ever truly loved? Is there nothing she can do to save him? Finally, when all seems lost, in desperation she finds herself DANCING WITH FATE.

I've been writing in one form or another since I was a teenager. My love of the Fantasy genre goes all the way back to elementary school when I read The Hobbit for the first time - I've been hooked ever since. I currently live in Florida with my family, but love the state of Virginia where I was born. My works include poetry, short stories, and book two in my YA Fantasy series, Realms of Chaos, is now in process.

The Expanding Universe - Volume 4 Spotlight

        Bringer of Chaos saga
Including Lights Out - A short story by Kayelle Allen from The Expanding Universe Vol 4 Edited by Craig Martelle

The newest The Expanding Universe anthology, number 4, is now available. Twenty great writers, twenty great stories, at a bargain price on Amazon.

Lights Out

He can save mankind.
After he does this one important thing.
Die.

Join the Ghost Corps, they said. You'll live forever, they said. You'll save mankind, they said. They didn't say that to do it, first he had to die.

When Tornahdo signs on the dotted line, he puts his life into the steady hands of the mighty Ghost Corps. Three grisly deaths and three agonizing resurrections later, he's assigned duty on the space station Enderium Six.

He's facing his most dangerous mission yet, the very reason the corps exists.

Tornahdo must take out the one man responsible for every war between humans and Ultras since the origin of the Ultra bloodline: the immortal king, Pietas.

If he succeeds, the war is over.

If he doesn't, the Ultras will rule mankind for another thousand years.

Either way, he must face an unbeatable, unkillable enemy, and this time--somehow--find a way to keep himself alive...

Lights Out

A short story in the Bringer of Chaos universe

Available within The Expanding Universe Vol 4, edited by Craig Martelle
