This week's post theme is the Lucky Irish!
Since tomorrow is Saint Patty's Day we have decided to post about a scene with lucky circumstances. I chose a scene from The Guardians of Souls where one of the teen Oracles, Laith Lightfoot is having a particularly lucky day.
At the end of Soul Quest Laith is devastated by the loss of someone very special and near and dear to his heart. In this scene Laith receives some much needed relief from the emotional torment he has been carrying.
Excerpt:
Our laughter was silenced quickly when we entered the shiny
coffee house. In the far corner of the cafe sat our four Guardians and a
beautiful Shadowless girl with long, flowing ringlets trailing down both sides
of her neck. She looked up to see the four of us and smiled shyly across the
distance.
"Melissa?" Laith squeaked out in disbelief.
"You didn't really think I'd bail on that easily, did
you?" she smiled coyly as she flicked her translucent curls behind her
neck.
Melissa Small was sitting before us in Shadowless form in
Stardust's Cafe.
I ran across the coffee shop to embrace my sister, Melissa
and stepped straight through her. She laughed at me as I nearly stumbled into
the wall. Ordinarily this would have annoyed me but not today. I could feel my
heart begin to piece itself back together. I had my sister back. Well, sort of
anyway, I had not lost her entirely at least.
"Be careful, you big oaf." she insulted me, but
there was affection in her voice. I smiled at her.
"It sure is good to see you again, Melissa." I
said.
She returned my smile as she wrapped her arms around my neck
and hugged me. It felt strange to hug her in this new form. She wasn't really
solid and I could tell that if I hugged her too tightly she would literally
slip through my fingers... and the rest of me. Still, she felt warm and I could
feel her heart beating as well as her breath in my ear.
She spoke to me, "This isn't your fault, Laith. All of
you tried to warn me, but by the time I decided to believe you it was too
late."
"I should have tried harder. Now you will never see Mom
and Dad, the DA or any of your friends at Forest Hills ever again." I
sulked.
"No, not never, just not for awhile." she
comforted me. "
I hope you enjoyed my favorite lucky scene from The Soul Quest Trilogy (thus far...). Now, I'm dieing to know what your favorite lucky scene is from your will want to discover the magic ourselves for sure. I can't wait to hear about your lucky books!
