Some of you were dissatisfied with where the snippet cut off last week. I'm keeping very strictly to six sentences. Lambra's been looking around her, and now we see why:
* * *
"Justa, what can I use for a weapon?" she said, but Ruy Blásquez, holding his nose with both hands, mustered the strength to call into the crowd.
"My warriors! Will you abide this affront to your lord? To arms, to arms!"
The onlookers made way as all the knights under Ruy Blásquez's fealty came from their posts on the riverbank, pulling out their shields and unsheathing their swords. Gonzalo, nearly swooning, tipped and landed in the supportive arms of his brothers, but his arms reached around him in search of a weapon.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate your comments, encouragement, constructive criticism, whatever you'd like to offer.
Oh my! what an intriguing six
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Is right. What a six, I'm dying to keep reading... way to keep the intensity of the scene going while delivering great characterizations. Nice six xx Thanks for sharing with us! What a talented bunch the sixers are :)
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly an unusual story!
ReplyDeleteWhat will happens next! I need to keep reading! Great six!
ReplyDeleteGreat six
ReplyDeleteThere's always so much happening in your sixes. Great job!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note and unrelated to the SSS, I find it really, really, *really* hard to read the links in your sidebar. The white text stands out enough to read, but the blue against the polka dots isn't high enough contrast to understand at a glance. Did you change your background recently? Because I don't remember this before.
Talk about going from bad to worse! Is poor Dona Lambra going to end up a widow or a corpse on her wedding day? Keep the sixes coming, please! Love the story.
ReplyDeleteGood six! It definitely keeps this reader wanting to know more.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness - this is one heck of a wedding! :)
ReplyDeleteLike Zee said, this is one heck of a wedding
ReplyDeleteGreat six, seems like things are going to get a lot worse

ReplyDeleteOh no! Just when we thought it couldn't get any worse, lol. No one ever expects the cavalry!

ReplyDeleteThis might be a good chance for her to cut and run. Another wonderful snippet.
ReplyDeleteOne crazy wedding! What will the honeymoon be like, I wonder? Super six, as usual. :)
