The Wielder Diaries: My Crystal
Book One
by Ashley Scheller
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy Adventure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Please...Please come back... Those words ring in her ears as she awakens. A strange band of characters call her Kayla, a name she’s forgotten along her life filled with transforming animals, magic, and dragons. Anybody would want to remember such an exciting life, yet there seems to be a truth no one wants to share, WHY it’s important Kayla remembers. With a mystical book in hand, she races against time to recall her adventures she shared with her family and friends in this first installment of ‘The Wielder Diaries’ series, ‘My Crystal.’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“P-Please come back…”
When the first light seeped in, I awoke with a jolt. There was a quick blur from brown to green when a sharp pull upwards tugged around my shoulders. Blinded by green fabric, I could faintly smell a smoky, sweet aroma while held tight into someone’s shoulder.
“By all that I am, you sure took your sweet time,” a young male voice cried.
Held tight from the earnestness of his embrace, I, sounding muffled, tried to ask what was going on. I wriggled and pushed the man away. When released enough to bring my head back a bit, there was a smiling face. Though he appeared young, his face was still rather hazy with my sleep-clouded vision. Not heeding my questions, or asking what I meant to say, for that matter, he lifted me off the bed into his arms and carried me out the door. Taken aback, still at a loss as to why this was all happening, I couldn’t utter a word of objection.
“Oi, has the meeting begun? Look who’s awake! Get King Basi in here!” the green-clad stranger shouted.
Although my surroundings were still blurry, I felt we were going down a set of stairs. The stairs were along the sidewall of a large room made out of what looked like wood and maybe black marble along with a high ceiling. There were also bright, twinkling lights hanging overhead, appearing somewhat tiered altogether, but I could barely stand to look at them for any length of time.
