04 - Rule of Magic
Throughout this book there are quite a few minor characters that play unimportant roles in the story. Many of these characters are listed in the section “Groups”, so that their names will be recorded somewhere, for possible future reference.
THE STAKEOUT
Contents
Chapter 1
Leira, Hagan and Correk, on the trail of the necklace, had a tip from an old witch that there would be a meeting of the Rhazdon group. The three went on stake-out, hoping to identify and trace who was there, with what. At first, an invitation spell was put on the house (bright- it’s here!) and when a participant showed up, Leira made the mistake of trying to enter his mind to read his intentions. He slammed the Mustang, and all of its occupants, with an energy pulse that would have killed them if Correk had not managed to divert it around the car.
Chapter 3
I’m still going to go back and read the trail he left behind to see where they were headed. He will certainly have left traps in his wake specifically designed for someone with your power. The Light Elves (stuff in the gnome’s vaults) stored the power to be used for good. The intention was always different. The energy held in the necklace is different. with a similar ending. Positive energy. It’s the damned unintended consequences that bite you in the ass.” When Leira left, Correk opened a portal and went to Oriceran.
THE NEW MAGIC
Chapter2
Magic. You can call it whatever you want but most do call it magic. Bending the laws of physics from within the biology of the practitioner in new ways to alter the environment. The artifact Langston Rogers had brought to Charlie Monaghan demonstrated that perfectly, as Langston showed Charlie how a portal to Oriceran could be opened mechanically with the use of a Peruvian wheel he had found in his searches.
This is going to change everything we know about our lives but unlike past inventions or discoveries, at a much faster pace. Charlie vows to get ahead of his competition.
Chapter 4
There are seven pages here, minutely detailing Charlie’s meeting with all of the investors/world leaders. EXCELLENT reading, too long to put in here. Sets tone for all of Monaghan’s dealings throughout book.
