"Little Sorcha getting into mischief for the first time. I really want to use this as a flashback for her at one point in the second or third volume. It is an important moment for her character." -Casey
“Where do you think you’re going?” asked a cold and accusatory
voice.
Sorcha froze with one leg and one arm already through the
window that she had been climbing through. She turned and stared up at the
beautiful young woman before her, dressed in an orange robe with the hood drawn
back so that she could see her silky white hair and freckled face.
“I was…uh…” the little girl answered as she climbed back
out of the window. “I got lost.”
The woman’s blank expression began to give way to a glare
and Sorcha involuntary backed up against the stone wall. The woman lifted her
hand and her eyes began to glow with an aqua blue light. “Téigh ar shiúl,”
the woman commanded, but Sorcha shut her eyes and threw her hands up before her
as she quickly shouted the counter spell, “Neamhaird an draíocht!”
A breeze kicked up and then whirled around them before
dispensing. The white haired woman stared at Sorcha hard, raising one eyebrow
as her glowing eyes returned to normal. “Where did you learn to cancel out a
Sage’s spell?” she asked.
“From you,” Sorcha squeaked. “I heard you teaching it to
your students yesterday.”
“And you learned to cast it in a day?” the woman asked,
intrigued. Sorcha nodded sheepishly. “What else have you learned from spying on
me?”
