Another flash post
Nov. 16th, 2018 01:00 amBecause I'm tired and it's been raining all day and it's flooded and I'm crabby BUT fun things happened and hopefully tomorrow I can tell you about them.
I'm just here for the snippet :-) (and yeah I don't have a city name yet)
“D-d-demons.” Zvon shuddered. Demons were honestly real? He had no idea. He thought it was something the priests and priestess said. He heard it more from the lips of the hard-bitten priests of Clasan, the singular god who had so many rules that Zvon didn’t see the attraction. He had enough trouble following the sweet natured god and goddess who weren’t damning people to hell for minor infractions like Clasan’s priests. Father hadn’t exactly been a church goer regardless of which religion it was.
“Low level but yes. I don’t’ know how to fight them yet, so I can’t help Mom. We’ll have to stay put like she said.”
Zvon blinked slowly. “You can fight?” this prissy looking little girl could fight? He couldn’t imagine it.
“Mom’s in the sorcery cadre. I’ll be one too.”
“The cadre!” he squeaked. Even here in ZZZ they had heard of the cadre. Clasan’s men were trying to rip ZZZ away from the queen’s rule. Women weren’t good for ruling. Child birth and home, that’s where they could be. Zvon had never understood that. He knew of the cadre, men and women mages who guarded the royals and kept the queendom safe from the monsters. Who had he joined up with? This girl might even have seen the queen! That scared him more than the demon.
