Excerpt from Elven Magic Book 3 Witch Wraith...

The wraith horse just stands near the totem and stairs at us as though we were the enemy, but it doesn’t move accept a few steps every now and then and it just seemed like a horse really.
The sunlight starts to move closer and closer past us then toward the horse and every second that passes and eventually reaches the horse then eventually the Elementals and as darkness settles we all decide to move on.
Fae takes note of the fact that the horse didn’t seem at all hostile and didn’t seem to be under control of some evil force like the Wyvern does as it was so quick to attack.
Fae would have rather the witch Sienna wasn’t under control of undead though, but doesn’t really know whether Sienna was or not and was in no hurry to find out.
Sienna was not there but can’t have been too far away because of her horse.
Fae decided they wouldn’t wait around for Sienna to return to her steed, the party all moved over the next hill following the dirt track to the Crypt which was in the side of a mountain.
Fae deceptively leaves a spy to preview Sienna’s return, one of the crew agrees to this named Sy.
Sy quickly hides himself in the bushes near the horse and totem until Sienna returns.

Sienna slowly walks up to the horse because of her old elvish cladding and armour she still wore even after all these years and it looked lopped sided on her bones which were similar to that of the Wyvern wraith’s bones covered in a blue electrified glow and black charred from the dirt from all of those years ago.

  1. Your mention of totems caught my attention, as I'm currently researching Northwest Coast Indians--you know, the ones who carved totem poles. Oh, and in your first sentence, I think 'stairs' should be 'stares'.

  2. As Ed noted "stairs" should probably be "stares". Also "accept" in the same paragraph looks like it might be supposed to be " except"...

    You've got a lot going on in this scene, Daniel. Haunting...

    1. Thanks for helping with the wording and your interest in you mean Haunting possibly its because my book is based on a witch series, i will admit some of my thoughts tend to be unusual at the best of times.
