The Glass Wizard - Fantasy Adventure Webnovel - Read Book One

His fingers trembled. The memories of the last arrows exploding in his hands were much too vivid, painful, disfiguring, disastrous bursts, yet Yves channelled more, drawing upon his own reservoir of energy and supplementing it with what was stored in an energy crystal embedded in one of his rings. His whole arms shook as he wrestled with the burgeoning energy, a volatile concoction held in the much too delicate shape of an arrow. It was not yet enough – no, it was too much, it was already way too much. Shut up, it’s fine. Yves was crouching in a confined shard prison that left no way for emerging energies to disperse. Stop thinking. Center yourself. And he was growing what could only be described as a bomb of pure, raw, volatile energy condensed into the unstable shape of a fickle arrow. Center yourself. An arrow was one of the worst forms imaginable for compressing energy. Center. Center. Center!

Spikes of shards shot from the dome’s outer wall, a barrage that impaled the encroaching tendrils just in front of Yves. These lethal projections bent outward with an inherent force, compelling the fleshy masses aside and carving a minuscule opening in the protective shard barrier. In the fleeting moment before another tendril could seal the breach, Yves unleashed the arrow.

Dear travellers,

kindly note that Yves’ thoughts, depicted in the centre of this page, are only displayed correctly in full-screen desktop view. I have done my best to adjust the format, but I am afraid that everything shifts quite a bit out of place on a mobile phone or small screen. Therefore, I would like to recommend using desktop full screen view for an optimised display.
