The Shield of Soren excerpt
With
a loud clang of metal slamming into metal, the final bolt was undone. Reign
slowly pulled the door open, and Vincent found his breath catching in his
throat.
High-pitched
whimpering came from the tiny bundle of rags cowering at the back of the cage.
Her long silver hair parted for a moment and Vincent could see her wide, silver
eyes, terrified and innocent. Vincent’s skin prickled with discomfort. He hoped
that Reign had a damned good reason for capturing a small child like this.
Beside
the glass cage were two oil lamps, both resting unlit. Reign reached up and
took one down. Then, in a single savage moment, he slammed the lamp onto the
floor of her cage. The girl screamed in terror and covered her head with her
hands, but he hadn’t been aiming for her.
The
shattered glass gave way to a stream of oil that spread out in a pool across
the floor. This seemed to scare the girl even more, and she began to cry
quietly, sobbing into her clenched hands.
Reign
looked back at Vincent. Excitement flashed in his eyes as he drew a match from
a box in his pocket. A small flare of light, a flicker of sulphur and a small
flame danced on top of the match. With another laugh, Reign tossed the match
into the glass cage.
Vincent
gasped as the oil ignited in a rush of intense heat. The entire floor of the
cage burst into flames. Vincent tried to rush forwards to save the girl from a
fiery death, but the heat was too intense. A hand tapped incessantly at his
shoulder, and he tried to brush it away, but Reign grabbed hold of his hand.
“Look!
Look!” Reign shouted excitedly, pointing at the cage.
When
his eyes fell upon the cage, Vincent froze to the spot, his eyes nearly popping
from their sockets. “But…how?”
The
girl, who Vincent had assumed would be burning in agony, was somehow floating
above the flames, hovering at the top of her cage. From her back sprouted two
enormous wings of the purest white feathers Vincent had ever seen. The two
beautiful white fans could only just fit within the confines of the cage, and as
she beat them to stay afloat they fanned the flames beneath her.
It
wasn’t just her wings that dazzled Vincent with their purity. Her whole body
had adopted an ethereal, almost ghostly, silver aura, her hair shimmering with
radiance. She didn’t seem too frightened any more, but there was a definite
hint of sadness in her gentle eyes.
Vincent
studied her carefully, struggling to catch his breath, which he hadn’t realised
he had been holding. “What is she?” he managed to croak.
Reign grinned and draped an arm across
Vincent’s shoulder. “She, my friend, is an angel.”
