This week’s Friday Snippet comes from the first draft of “the Path of Blood”: we take a look at one of Erthel’s several nightmares, during a short time of unconsciousness that follows her first, reckless experiment with the Gift to try and find her mother after her mysterious disappearance. Faurel, whom we’ve met in previous snippets, has the official responsibility of the investigation regarding her mother’s disappearance, while Maithel is a dear friend of Erthel’s family she grew up with.
A couple of warnings:
- I am not a native English speaker, so beware.
- This is first draft, hence might be rough, sketchy or end up out of canon after revision. So beware.

Erthel had broken. Darkness wrapped her like a tight pall that blocked her breath, crushing her chest, as if every perception, every sense had been torn away and the only one still left was pain.
One.
