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. Sorry I didn't manage to get around as many blogs last week as I wanted to, it was a really busy week. I'll try to do better this time.

Last week's snippet ...This is a few paragraphs on from
the ten sentence rule. Very slightly changed from the published version.)
"I would like
to see you safe before I fight Madog for the return of my betrothed."
"You needn't
worry about me, I have my knife and my bow, I am well able to look after
myself. Besides, I'm coming with you, you’ll need someone at your back."
There was such
determination in those dark green eyes, Myrddin almost laughed. "Oh, you think I'm the one who needs
looking after?"
"Probably, I
owe you a favor, you saved me from the Ellylldan, I'll not let you fight
alone. Don't tell
me because I'm a woman I don't know how to fight, I expect I'm better trained in
the use of a bow than you are."
"I don't
doubt it," Myrddin replied, trying not to smile, and almost unconsciously, he
put his hand on the light sword at his side. "We'll need to leave the
horses here and approach the fort by stealth, I don't know how many guards
Madog has posted, he must surely know I will come for Gwendolyn."
"Then it's
even more important you don't go alone."
