SOUL OF SKULLS – progress report

5 chapters and 20,000 words down, 33 chapters and about 130,000 words (I think) to go.

An excerpt from recent writing:

“So I am staying near you,” said Malaric, “in case the Guardian comes after me. If he does, you can kill him for me. And perhaps rid me of Molly Cravenlock as well.” He tilted his head to the side. “Though one thing does puzzle me. I might have power now…but you have even more. Why not go kill Mazael Cravenlock and his court? I doubt they could stop you.”

Again Lucan saw Tymaen, dying with the black crystal shard in her heart, and rage burned through him.

“The Guardian,” said Lucan, “is a formidable opponent. But even if he were not, this is not about revenge. This is about creating a world free of Demonsouled.”

Malaric snorted. “Revenge is sweet, my lord Lucan. And I intend to gorge myself upon it.”
