It’s Sunday, and time for Weekend Writing Warriors again (click the logo above for links to other authors) and Snippet Sunday (click the logo below.)
I’m continuing from last week with Rescue Operation. Keishala and Lelani have left, deciding they will be no help if politics are involved.

“Anything I can do?” Emeraude asked.
She had seen immediately what the Inner Council had missed—how the citizens of Horizon would most likely react. Keishala and Lelani were dear to him, but right now they were best off preparing for Keishala’s next concert. Emeraude might be a real help.
“Put together a summary of what you can find about Horizon for the last forty-four years — since Zhaim took over from me as Guardian. I’ll check out the Council vote myself — though I’ve got a sickening feeling I know what happened. I can usually count on eleven of the others to see things my way, and there are eight that follow Zhaim.”
I pre-scheduled this, but I’m off at a writers’ conference. I’ll be late responding to comments and visiting around, but I will get to it next week. Believe me, comments are appreciated.

I think Keishala has a right to be concerned. Tough mission ahead. Nice snippet!
That she has.
Roi has grown into a wise man. He’s figured it out. 🙂 Nicely done, Sue Ann.
but will figuring it out be enough?
Politics are complex. You’ve done a good job with this sci-fi adventure. It boggles my mind.
Thanks, politics are universal.
I wonder what he’s hoping to find in the last few decades’ history? Something to sway the council members?
More information about what happened.
How is he going to get things put to rights? Zhaim has done a good job screwing things over.
that’s what’s the trilogy is about
He’s about to face some grim realities. Tense scene.
Yep.
Two worthy foes! I hope you had a good time at the conference.
Would have if my health hadn’t acted up.
As you said last week, figuring it out doesn’t mean fixing it will be easy. I wonder if Zhaim has finally gone too far?
It’s going to take a while.
I should hope so—that means more book for us! 🙂
Very interesting- I’m excited to read the next bit each week. I love stories with a lot of political twists and turns!
glad you like it.
Hope you had a fabulous time at your conference. Great 8!
Well-informed is well-armed. Hope it will help Roi, and all those people!
Ah, good ol’ political shenanigans. Don’t they always create problems?
Greatsnippet–I’m curious about the concert. Enjoy the conference!
I just wanted to establish that all Roi’s wives have careers of their own. Keishala is a singer. (Also a clotheshorse, for that matter.)
great tension building, can’t wait to see what he’ll find out — doesn’t look like it’ll be pretty…
No, there are problems coming up.
I like that your characters are proactive in finding answers. I’m rooting for them.
Keep smiling,
Yawatta
They’re trying. But Zhaim is a fox.
I hope we learn what he finds out in the next snippet! The tension just keeps building and I love it.
It’s just whatever is the next 8 sentences,
