Woot! Crossed 5000!
Yeah, I only wrote 1,207 words today, but I hit a mini-milestone. I am now going to go play Guitar Hero II.
"Up for a little competition, Jaspa?" Osred's voice slithered into her ear, and she felt her face wrinkle.
She kept her relaxed feel and didn't even turn as she answered him. "Sure, why not? Roarian, you keep score."
"You got it, Jaspa."
"What? She's biased!"
"Oh, shut up, Osred. You just want someone to stack the odds in your favor. Fine, pick someone to keep co-score with her."
Osred shrugged. "Fine. I'll keep score myself too, though, so Roarian, don't even think about cheating."
Roarian rolled her eyes.
Jaspa grounded herself and gathered a small amount of magical energy to herself. She shaped it into a sphere, then reached mentally for Myertek. He fed her power through their bond, and she poured it into the sphere. She felt it grow in her hands, and projected the illusion of color onto it. When she felt ready, she looked up at the target, a jagged rock a stone's throw away. It had concentric rings painted on it in white.
She raised her hands and held them up in front of her, palms facing, the sphere between them. Then, gathering her energy, she brought her palms around the sphere so they faced toward the rock, thumbs together, and sent the sphere hurtling toward the rock. with a soft grunt. The sphere hit the rock with a satisfying crack, leaving a red smear just to the left of the dot right in the center. Jaspa grinned and turned to Roarian. "Four points, right?"
