words from day 1 of my personal marathon

Word Goal for the day: 1000 - made 3249

Starting line: “No, you don’t, little Mage, do you?” came an oddly-familiar voice out of the mists. “You never have. Even when the odds are against you.”

Ending line: “Good.” Krys could feel the satisfaction in the angel’s voice. “Then, in gratitude, you must release Caran as well. Cure her. Thomas should do it. It will bring him further into our fold.”

Darling: Shadows leapt up around her, Shadows shot with emerald and gold, and Power shone out of her dark blue eyes. Amy shrank back from her, suddenly realizing why she hadn’t died when Alex had stabbed her.

How would you kill someone like that? She thought, and the girl smiled slightly.

“You don’t,” she said, and Power laced through her words. “So don’t try. Now what do you want?”

Deaths: Nope.

Good Things: um, 2 chapters done? Oh, and Derek and Amy finally get to find Nikki.

Bad Things: Madness is starting to make her moves. Look for mondo bad to come.
