I love seeing a character come into her own. This is such an empowering snippet. I love it.

Sounds like her time has come. :)

Sue Ann, as I read over the snippet again, I thought, too, that the local earth energy, when focused and balanced properly among the Circle, the mages and the leader, keeps everyone healthy and young-ish. Because the Circle has thrown things out of balance, they don’t get the advantage of the earth energy, and they begin to wither.

Thanks, everyone!

Sue Ann, the time flow for the elves is much more attuned to seasons, etc., than a clock. But, for example, their children grow faster– by the age of one, Elliun is walking, running, talking, much like a three-or four year old human. Jelani, being a child of both worlds, often struggles with her understanding and expectations.

I like how she positions herself so she can pin each one with a glance. She feels powerful!

So is the shift in how fast time goes by, usually faster in the mortal world, reversed here?

Great description of what she faces.

Very nice. Wondering what happens next, especially after that last line. ;P

I really like the strength she exudes in this snippet. I have always been drawn to strong, independent women, and Jelani certainly seems to fit the bill. Well done!

Now I want to know what she says to them! Good job.
