An Epic Christmas: On The First Day…
On the first day of Christmas my true Muse sent to me… 😉
One Chosen Hero!
‘She lifted her face to the moon, caught in the net of tree branches. “It should not have been so,” she repeated softly, “for I was born to unite the Derai and lead them to the final victory against our enemy. That was the destiny written in the stars in the hour of my birth—but the Swarm, too, can read the stars. It brought the Worm against us to thwart prophecy, so that I had no choice but to slay it or see the destruction of the Derai and all worlds.” She paused. “Yet I was promised, even as I lay dying, that another would come to unite the Derai, and that one would not have to stand alone—would not be alone. I was promised, too, that I might wait for the One-to-Come, for she would need my aid. So wait I have, and watched, all these long years.”
“For me?” Malian asked faintly. “You can’t possibly mean me.” ‘

“Holding out for a Hero(ine)…”
Am glad have managed to write a few, then. 😉
Just finished “THE WALL OF NIGHT”. Wow! Well done! Couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to reading all the other books in the series. (Thank you for being a “new” favorite author!).
Hi Ernie — welcome to “…on Anything, Really” and the Wall Of Night series. And thank you for taking the time to tell me that you enjoyed it!
