"Alice!... You can't slap a Prince!" -Justine; The Witches of Andar- Book 1
Raising their hands, they shouted in
unison, “Scuto
socio!"
A
great, golden flash erupted from their
palms, drawing
everyone's attention from the drama
unfolding between
Justine, Prince Gregdan, and the Duke/King.
The crowd
dispersed upon seeing the witches in
action. Most feared the
unknown forces behind their magic and
others could simply
sense the impending doom.
The shimmering shield spread it’s
translucent tendrils until it
was completely encircling all three women.
The Prince,
however, seemed to be just out of the
spell’s reach. Muttering
another incantation, Malinda nodded her
head and the
remaining guards dropped to the ground,
completely
paralyzed. Justine, now free of the guards,
made a break for
the Prince.
“Stop!” shouted the Duke, red-faced and
veins bulging. He
stepped closer to Prince Gregdan so that he
was within arms’
reach, and pointed to Justine. “You foolish
girl! Do you not
know a losing battle when you’re in the
middle of one?”
“The only loser here is you, King
Ebrius,”
retorted Justine,
filling the title with as much disgust and
contempt as she
could muster.
“You would be wise to address me more
respectfully, child,”
warned Ebrius. “I may take pity on you yet.
I do tend to
prefer a feisty redhead,” he winked and
Justine could feel her
stomach churning in response. “Just think,”
he said, “like it or
not, I am King. You could be my Queen.”
Being an An-Kishar limited Justine’s
knowledge of harmful
spells, but she’d always been good at
improvising. She
recalled the incantations she’d been
helping Alice transcribe
before their world had been shattered into
a million pieces.
Remembering a partial spell, and with more
confidence than
she felt, Justine summoned every ounce of
her love and anger
and bellowed, “Konfleur
aphida!”
Nothing happened and, for a moment, Justine
thought she’d
done the spell incorrectly and she feared
the consequences if
she had. Just as she began to lose heart,
they heard a great
roar. Ebrius, fearing an attack from a
large and fearsome
creature, drew his sword, ready to fight.
His foe, however,
was not a great beast, but a massive swarm
of insects. Every
sort of insect found in the kingdom was
present it seemedfrom
the minuscule, crawling Opaci to the
intimidating
Vespuns, their black wings, shining in the
evening sun. And
their sole intent was to lay siege to the
false King.
