Another great tumblr trend I was tagged in by @pixiedurango!
Post an excerpt of one of your WIP's.
Maybe add some new words, even.
Fall in love with it all over again, maybe.
Share it. Be proud of it. Use the tag #reflection rtuesday also tag a few of your fellow artists, you'd be curious to see what they may have stored away in their wip folders.
Here goes mine! I was working in a collab with @missingnozw (to be accurate, our SECOND collab) and I left part of this written, still don't know if we are going to use it or not. Alecto "Rook" de Riva has been banished from Treviso after the antaam incident, and for now lives in Rivain under another name, trying to know who she is. But some of the rival Houses may try to eliminate her to damage the Fifth House...
Within seconds a man emerged from the adjoining alley, dressed in purple and black. A Crow. Fuck, exactly what she needed.
“Look who we have here: De Riva's bitch, no less. You're a long way from home, Sombra.”
His tone was not conciliatory in the least. Alecto recognized him: Guido Kortez. They had some meetings in the past, and not exactly friendly. The woman stopped in her tracks, letting him approach her until they were only a few feet apart.
“Kortez! To what do I owe the inexistent honor of your visit?”
“Fate, of course. The truth is, I had an outstanding contract in the city and my target wanted to trade his life in exchange for information about a newly arrived Antivan. Unfortunately for him, he died after telling me about her” Guido replied, arrogantly, letting out a chuckle. “What's a woman with your skills doing wasting them in this shithole of a town?”
Shit. Was it never going to end? She'd left her homeland months ago, had gone out of her way to keep a low profile, and yet the fucking Maker had decided to put a Crow from a rival House in her path, a particularly asshole one to be exact.
“It's a peaceful life” She said nonchalantly. Guido began to walk tracing a wide circle around her, a movement she accompanied in the opposite direction. Watching them was like contemplating a dance in which one of them wasn't going to make it out alive.
“The matter is that happens to be a contract on your head. You've been very clever at throwing everyone off the scent, but I'm afraid it ends here and now.”
“And if it doesn't?” Alecto's tone was calm, but menacing.
“You're not important anymore, Sombra, not since you're not fucking your Talon. He can't protect you anymore”
It was Alecto's turn to smirk at him.
“You know, you should try it. Maybe then Emil would find some use for you.”
I am eager to see more of @nyx-de-riva @rookinthecrownest and @ezriell!
