Activity

Oh, the action just started to ramp up.

KHALON

Self pity filled Khalon as he contemplated his predicament. He shook himself. Self pity is not one of your options getting out of this situation. Get a grip!

Khalon pounded his head and finally became aware of the chaos that was about to unfold. Tall Girl was beating up ghost man while Sleeping Man, who had apparently just woken up, was attempting to pacify Tall Girl. He succeeded.

Khalon breathed a sigh of relief. That could have gone worse. Just then, he saw Protective Older Brother hurtling towards ghost man. No, no! Ghost Man is super strong. You’ll be dead in five seconds! 

Khalon’s hand instinctively reached for his sword. It wasn’t there, of course. He didn’t have it to begin with. But then he felt a cool, smooth object in his hand. It was his horn. Without thinking of what good his horn would do against an adrenaline powered man, Khalon rushed foward, stepping in front of Ghost Guy.

He had only a few seconds to figure out what to do next. There was no stopping Older Brother. This would only end up with three people in major pain. Why couldn’t I have my sword or my reflexes? Instead what do I get? A horn that I can’t even play properly. Wait a sec, my horn!

Khalon would have laughed but Big Brother was a split second away. He would have to laugh later. Khalon put the horn to his lips and blew with all his might. A strangled, high-pitched, shrieking sound emerged. The noise was magnified by the stone walls so that it sounded like a choir of banshees were singing the chorus of “Taking Me Under” (a song name that I just made up since I doubt Khalon knows any heavy metal songs).

Khalon winced but continued to blow. Hoping this would be enough to postpone the Ghost Guy and Older Brother showdown.

I decided to take your advice and give Khalon something he didn’t expect, his horn. And about Aydin, poor guy! (I’m resisting the urge to call him a baby, sisterly instinct) Please say that he finds peace and joy the end of your book series. And if you have him die before he finds this joy, I’ll…write a fanfic where I turn all of your characters into 2D copy and pastes of a Mary Sue and a Gary Stu!

I hope you don’t mind that I had Khalon jump in. And as for Qatar’s power, I think you should go for heat though it would be funny (and terrifying) if every time he glared at someone, a tidal wave appeared behind him.
