“And from where exactly am I getting this instruction, Child?” Leah demanded. “In case you have not noticed, I am flying by the seat of my trousers!”

As the others gathered around Leah attempting to cheer her on, Lleu stepped off to the side, took a piece of chalk from the pouch that he wore around his waist, and began drawing sigils on the black tile floor. He opened the gris-gris bag given to him by a Voodoo practitioner named Belen when he was visiting the French quarter and sprinkled a pinch of ash and a pinch of jade-colored dust over the sigils.

A wondrous puff of quince smoke billowed through the room. As the room’s occupants coughed and sneezed, Dale Dicking blinked the smoke from his eyes and froze to the spot as he realized the identity of the being that Lleu had summoned.

“Are you mad, Man?” Dale demanded. “Why in the name of all that’s holy have you summoned Lucifer?”

Notes:
In this snippet, Leah and the boys have entered the ominous dark tower. A computerized voice is now counting down, and Marc has made the statement that he believes with proper instruction, Leah should be able to manage things. The preceding chapter excerpt can be found here.

  1. Haha! I love it! I agree. Lucifer himself might be a bit of overkill. :-)

  2. Hmm. Summoning Lucifer to give instructions sounds like a crazy choice.

  3. Whoa! He's calling in the big gun. I hope he can handle it.

    1. Lleu generally needs all the help he can get. Unfortunately, the only one of this bunch equipped to handle a major infernal power is Leah, and she's currently occupied.

  4. Oh yikes! I'd be asking that question, too! I'm sure he has his reasons...?!

    1. With Lleu, his reasons are likely saying a wrong word or drawing a wrong line somewhere in the course of the spell.

  5. Holy crap! Not one you want to summon. Great snippet.

I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I have ADHD and anxiety and sometimes I need to work myself up to be able to respond to comments. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops. I share your work on the monthly Roost Recommendations posts at ornerybookemporium.blogspot.com so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
Sorry, the Captcha is back and this time it's staying. I was inundated with spam comments when I turned it off. I wish butt rash on all the spammers out there.
