Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 5.3 (wip)

My whole body trembled with fear and anxiety. I was relieved and terrified at the same time. Mira became sick and went off to a corner to throw up. I stood my guard over the burning body to keep the flames from spreading. I’d learned to contain fire around me, but so much had happened I only hoped I had enough strength and concentration left in me. I stood there until the body had turned completely to ash. When Mira returned she could barely speak recognizable words as she pushed her hands up into her face and swept them up over her hair. She dared not take a deep breath at the moment for fear she’d simply become nauseous again.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 5.5 (wip)

Back in her suite, Mira had already completely disrobed to get into the shower. She wrapped an oversized towel around her as she turned on the hot water. Mira always did enjoy a hot shower. Her towel fell to the floor as she stepped into the steamy, flowing water and let it rush over her body, even her hair.

This was her sacred private time to think and say all that she wouldn’t dare at any other time. Mira could, at this time, reach a level of concentration and relaxation that allowed her to intensely feel the therapeutic sensation of each individual droplet of water, rushing down over her face, down to her neck, and then dispersing all over her body. She thought about all that had happened so far, and even though she was very skeptical and even more confused by it all, she was happy to be there. Mira was glad she had taken the risk and made the trip.
