Well… not a bad
week, with the exception of a nasty case of poison ivy. Bleh. I'm not fond of
being itchy in any way, shape, or form. *scratch, scratch*
SDCC happened this
week and I'm so excited for a couple of new shows and movies. I also love
seeing the actors from my favorite shows do their panels. Looking forward to
taking some time to dive into everything.
Teen Wolf is getting really creepy, which I love. I'm sort of long on theories
and not much else, but something tells me Peter Hale is behind everything. LOL
He's so easy to blame.
The Last Ship is so good at drawing out and ramping up
tension. Another show where I have theories about who's behind the scenes
trying to manipulate everything. I can't wait for tonight's episode.
My Friday night
lineup of Defiance, Killjoys, and Dark Matter keeps getting better and better. One of the things I
love about Defiance is how quickly
they move the plot along. And a major brawl between Amanda and Stahma never
hurts anything. Pushing the envelope where family relationships are concerned
is also an interesting choice. And speaking of family relationships, the Jaqobi
brothers are quickly turning into one of my favorite sibling duos. I'm holding
back on forming strong opinions with Dark
Matter at the moment. I can't quite figure why Two is going for Three yet.
I have a few ideas, but none have formed into anything solid yet.
Tonight's post is
from Blondie and the Three Wizards, a sexy short take on Goldilocks with a
twist.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Xandra Blue, a mage adept, has to pick a new mentor from
three extremely sexy wizards. All three have the skills and could make great
partners, but the guys don't make it easy for her to choose.
And a preview snippet…
"Xandra, you'll need to
choose a new mentor." The Wizard Master, John Silo, slid three files in
her direction. "I took the liberty of narrowing down the options to the
top three."
Xandra shrank back. She didn't
want to think about finding a tutor yet. Her grief resided heavily in her heart
and mind.
She frowned. "We laid
Makepeace to rest this morning. Do I have to make a choice right this
moment?" Did Silo have no idea how much Chris's death affected her?
The sage studied her for several
long moments. "Xandra, you can't fall behind. I'm aware the difficult
position you're facing, but it's because of your circumstances that I'm asking
you to put your sadness aside and meet with the three wizards as soon as
possible." His eyes held sympathy, but also resolve.
Xandra sighed. "May I at
least have the rest of the day to mourn Makepeace?" Twenty-four hours
shouldn't be too much to ask.
Silo nodded. "You may, my
dear. But no longer. You'll need one on one time with each candidate and I need
your decision by week's end." He moved the files to the edge of his desk.
"Go ahead and take these with you. Review the information when you have
time." He eased away from the desk and stood up.
Xandra rose and reluctantly took
the files. "Yes, Master Silo." Turning, she made her way slowly to
the door.
Silo gave her one final piece of
advice. "Give each one a fair chance, Xandra. You'll discover the correct
mentor if you carefully weigh their skills and personalities."
Xandra made a noncommittal grunt
and exited the Wizard Master's office.
Carefully weigh the options. No
big deal, right? Except her decision could determine whether she got to stay in
the apprentice program to develop into a fully qualified wizard, or get shipped
off campus and relegated to performing simple tasks in the regular workforce.
So, yes, her decision would prove
to be a very big deal.
Xandra is going to
have her hands full trying to figure out which wizard will be her best bet.
That's it for this
week.
Cheers!
Skye
