Ah yes, at last, she picks up her mouse and the Delphinium series continues - some six weeks later. I have been away for large amounts of time in May and June; but also I reached a point where I had to rethink my story line structure. Those of you who are also doing series will know that stories evolve as you work your way through them and sometimes you have to stop and think about the direction you are going. This I have done and so I begin again. On that note I would like to dedicate this restart piece to Adorety (Arthur) who is also involved in creating an epic tale. I do encourage you to visit his gallery, but be prepared to spend some time for Arthur writes like a demon; his illustrations will draw you in and his words will hold you through every last syllable. His latest addition is "Chance Meeting? Erath 2-24" --------- Onna had her prize! At last, she had her baby dragon in hand! Screech and scream as it might, the little beast was no match for Onna's determined grip. For Onna was not only physically strong, but her magic was brutally powerful. She spared no energy ensuring that she had her baby. Not now; not when she was this close to attaining her dream. So not only did she use a tractor spell but once she had him close in, she threw out a huge protection screen, sending out a envelope of energy that no one or no thing could penetrate. But this kind of shield, though very strong, did have a weakness. She couldn't both move and keep the shield at full strength at the same time. To levitate away she would have to drop the shield completely as it was not possible for a single witch to channel that much energy at once. Even if she ran, she would have to lower the shield's strength. So Onna decided to stay put for now and trust that her partner, Shaw, would quickly finish off the young Delphinium Knight. Onna was sure she herself could beat this neophyte in a fight but not while trying to control this baby dragon. Now was not the time to take unnecessary chances. Onna did not like having to put her faith in the hands of men, but Shaw had proven himself worthy of her trust. At the worst case Shaw would surely be able to wound the knight in a fight, making her that much easier to pick off herself if she had to. Yes, she had done her part, things were going as planned. Be patient and wait, that was the best thing to do. Previous Delphinium
