"You are #abominable!" She accused. I suppressed a grin.

"You can't handle the truth." I heard this so many times it had to be funny. "You think a woman who kills is an abomination." I tossed my sword onto the table, making her jump.
"I wonder what you would kill for."#vss365

"Focus." The single word only fueled my frustration.

"I am." I gritted my teeth, squeezing my eyes shut tighter.
"No. You can do this. You are limiting yourself." My snarl deepened but he continued. "You must shift your #paradigm of yourself if you are going to do magic."#vss365

She stared straight ahead.

"I said answer me." I snarled.
She refused to look at me.
"I refuse to speak the #demotic." She said in a regal tone.
"They will be the last words you ever speak, so you might as well speak the common language." I growled.#vss365

"Don't let the Demon catch you trying that." Half whispered one of the soldiers. "She knows when one is faking. Trying to avoid work is a capital offence."#vss365

I laughed at the splayed figure before me. The attempt at a bow had ended badly. A muffled voice came from the pile of clothes on the ground.

"At your service, madam." Even the voice sounded comical. "Your every #behest, your every request."
"At ease soldier." I giggled.#vss365

There it was. The #teardrop diamond. Almost within reach.
— Iso Rivers (@IsoRiversAuthor) February 23, 2019
"Don't touch it." The deep voice almost made me jump out of my skin. I whirled and saw a deeply scarred face.
"You can't stop me." I challenged.
"I won't have to. If you touch that diamond, you'll die."#vss365

"Once upon a time…"
— Iso Rivers (@IsoRiversAuthor) February 25, 2019
"Come on mom. All the #lame stories start that way." The little preteen know-it all announced. I took a deep breath and started again.
"Once in the netherworld where time does not exist…"#vss365
