@tristancarax- First I'm so glad you joined this writing contest for @steemmonsters. I love reading your writing.
Second-Wow this was awesome. There was so much that I liked about this story. I play a healer so I totally related to the scene where she had to decide to heal or protect herself. Then when Morrigan crushed Alacander I was no! WTF!
Then the attack of the cat was epic!!! ha ha that's what you get Morrigan!!!
my favorite lines:
She no longer saw only the separateness in things but also saw that something cannot exist without nothing and nothing cannot exist without something; therefore, the connection was complete. Life and death were hers to control.
Great job! I hope you continue each week. I've been having so much fun writing and reading the stories. Thanks too for including the other writing contests in your post!
Hagd!
@simgirl - Your message made me smile. I'm glad you have enjoyed my writing.
I like to play healers also or some dude with magic. I'm currently playing D&D. It is neat. There is a lot to that game.
Haha. I got the Blood Bending from "Avatar: The Last Air Bender." Awesome series to do some binge watching. I'm happy with the way it worked out in this story.
@svashta had as one of his contest challenges one that you could only have one sense working at a time. I knew I wanted to use that idea here and Svoke provided that opportunity with the use of some magic.
I had this healing woman in the of my mind when I wrote this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1390398/
I was sitting at the beach looking at me senior student when I saw the connect between the foreground and the background. I saw how they need each other and cannot be without the other. yin/yang I do like Chinese philosophy. 8-)
I think you might enjoy some of the background on how this story came to be.
Peace,
Tristan
