An excerpt from The Dragon Thief (Riftling, CH 6):

“Enjoying the swim?” A silvery voice came. Lanna ducked her body under the water so only her head poked above, although she knew the pond was so pristine and clear that it would hardly serve her any cover. Nox came out of the trees and stood, arms crossed, with a small smile on his lips.

“Did you follow me?” Lanna scoffed.

Nox walked over to her clothes and began inspecting them as they dried.

“I came to let you know we were ready to move on. The King’s Road is just a bit ahead. Alderyth reckons we can be out of this forest and in a nice, cosy Riftling inn by sundown.” Nox then glanced to Lanna. “Although, it looks like you’re already all cosy here. Perhaps I shouldn’t disturb you.”

Lanna’s cheeks flared red in anger.

“Of course you shouldn’t. You shouldn’t even be here while a lady bathes!”

“A lady?” Nox laughed. “I see no lady.” Then, he began to remove his shoes. Lanna took a step into deeper water.

“What are you doing?”

“I changed my mind. Maybe I will disturb you.”

He started to remove all the layers of his robes. A white tunic and white pants peeked beneath. He began taking off his tunic, and even though Lanna was furious at his practical joke, she couldn’t help but not look away. Beneath his shirt was a slim but toned frame. She was surprised to see such defined muscles in his stomach and chest. When Nox began to remove his pants, Lanna found herself too embarrassed to continue watching. Plus, she didn’t want to give him the satisfaction thinking she was enjoying this. Because she really wasn’t, right…?

Different But The Same

Nate sat in his living staring at Heathrow. It’s early in the morning and his donkey friend lay by an open window, sleeping. Nate notices the fuzz on his friend’s back.

“His mane is growing back, I can’t wait to hear his voice again”, he thought to himself.

All of a sudden Nate hears a whisper, “Nate.” Nate did not know where the whisper was coming from.

“Nate”, he hears it again. Nate gets up, starts walking around the room. He follows the whispers like a game of hot ‘n cold. With each whisper of his name, Nate moved around the room. He stops a few steps shy of Heathrow when he realizes the whispers are coming from his sleeping friend. Heathrow was repeating Nate’s name in his sleep. Excitedly, he jumps on top of his friend. He gives him the biggest, tightest hug he can give.

“You can speak! You can speak!”, Nate happily said.

Startled, Heathrow jumps up and looks around. He did not know what was happening. Nate asks him to speak again, to say his name once more. Heathrow tries speaking but all that comes out of his mouth are whispers.

“That means you’re getting better!” Nate tells Heathrow.

Heathrow and Nate spend the rest of the day talking. Nate had to sit extra close to his friend since Heathrow’s whispers were so low. Sometimes the talking donkey had to repeat himself multiple times. He did not mind, neither did Nate. Nate was happy to hear his friend’s voice again.

Now that he finally kind-of got his voice back, Heathrow felt comfortable with resuming his daily walks through the park with his friend. As they walked through one of the park paths, something caught Heathrow’s eye.

“You see that?” Heathrow whispered. “Watchu say?” Nate answered. “Did you see that? Something seems weird.” Heathrow whispered.

They both stop walking and start looking around the park. Something does seem weird but they can’t figure out what it is. Out of nowhere, Nate notices a flash. There it is again, and another flash.

They both run towards the flashes and stop dead in their tracks when they finally see it. They see a man in a shiny silver suit, walking through the park waving a wand all over the place. With every flash, a double of whatever was hit with the flash appeared. One tree became two trees. Two people become four and so forth. One weird detail was that each double had patches of shiny silver all over, and the original person or animal would stand still, as if they were in a trance. The shiny, silver doubles made tight moves and seemed very robotic.

“Those doubles are the same but different but mostly the same”, Nate said as he motioned for Heathrow to get behind him. We have to stop him and get everything back to normal.

“Hey!”, Nate screamed at the villain. Before Nate could utter another word, the villain waved his wand in Nate’s direction. Nate jumped out of the way just in time. When he looked up, he noticed the flash and a pair of Heathrow. Nate had forgotten that Heathrow was standing behind, and now Heathrow has a double.

Heathrow is standing still, like he’s in a trance. Nate calls for him but he does not move. The shiny, silver Heathrow is moving around, like a robot.

Nate felt guilty that Heathrow was once again a victim; he knows he has to do thing to get him out of this trance. “What can I do to eliminate Heathrow’s double and stop this villain?”, Nate thought to himself. A couple of flashes went off a couple of feet in front of him – Nate had to act quick or he will end of like Heathrow and everyone else at the park.

“You’re the reason we have warning labels on everything!”, Nate screamed as he dodged another ball of flash. He knows he has to get that wand away from the villain. “What can I do to stop him?”, he thought to himself as he dodged those flashes. Nate knew that if he got hit by one, he’s done and he will not be able to help Heathrow and the others.

The villain laughs as he waves his wand towards Nate. Each wave getting faster and more aggressive; Nate was beginning to get tired but he knew he could not give up. Nate remembered he had a small travel mirror in a satchel that Heathrow always had with him.

Nate has a close call a couple of times, and the villain’s laugh we getting on his nerves. Nate ran, jumped, and rolled towards Heathrow. In a swift, he snatched the satchel from around Heathrow’s neck and jumped behind a tree. Nate rummaged through the satchel and found his weapon of choice, the mirror.

When he jumped out from behind the tree, Nate came face-to-face with the villain. With a quick swing of the wand, the villain waved it at Nate. There was a big flash, bigger than what came out of wand in previous attacks.

Once the flash faded, there were three figures and a tree. Nate was standing, holding out the travel mirror, pointing it towards the villain. His head turned away and eyes tightly shit – as if he was scared of whatever was in front of him. The villain, pointing his wand at Nate, stood like he was in a trance; his shiny, silver double moved around like a robot.

Heathrow ran towards Nate, whispering his name. Nate slowly opened his eyes, touched his body - making sure he is the real Nate and not the shiny, silver double. Relieved, Nate looks around and notices everyone fake double is gone, except for the villain’s double.

Nate notices Heathrow and gives him a big hug. The police arrive, and take statements from everyone that was at the park. As Nate and Heathrow walk home, they laugh at how the talking donkeys first day out turned out.

Still whispering, Heathrow says about the day’s events, “I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

Finished the audiobook of The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken “Ruby is sent to Thurmond, a brutal government rehab camp, on her tenth birthday. She survived the disease that killed most of America’s children, but the survivors have emerged with abilities they can’t control. And Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. She hooks up with other kids - Liam, Chubs and Zu - and together they search for East River where kids like them have formed their own camp. But there are forces at work that want to use Ruby’s abilities for their own agenda. And she must make a terrible choice...” This is an excellent story from Bracken. The audiobook performance is outstanding. Ruby asks some questions that we all have asked. There are plenty of characters to cheer for and lots of bad guys. A scary future that Bracken has written. #thedarkestminds #alexandrabracken #ya #youndadult #dystopian #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #bookclub #novel #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #goodreads #homelibrary #bradslibrary #thriller #audiobook #rcpl

QOTD: What books did you haul this month? . I went home last week to go to my library’s annual book sale and managed to find these gems! I FINALLY own the entire #GallagerGirls series and the #Divergent books! And of course, I couldn’t resist buying another Ally Carter books. . Even better than these finds? The price. It only cost me $6.50 for all 7 books! This is why I love used book sales. . I also got an ARC of LIGHT YEARS by Kass Morgan and my preordered copy of TWO DARK REIGNS but I was too lazy to take a photo of them. It’s midterm season, okay? Cut me some slack. 😅 . Overall this month features a very successful haul and a very unsccessful book buying ban. 🤦🏻‍♀️ . ………………………..... . #allthebookssept18 [september book haul] #fantasynaticfandoms [Flourish and Blott's: hual] #fearyournovelseptember [september haul] #creativebookstagram [#stacksaturday] . . #bookstagram #bookhaul #allycarter #veronicaroth #epicreads #bookish #bookstagramfeature #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #instareads #youndadult #usedbooks #yareads #yalovin #ireadya https://ift.tt/2DFKEh8
