World of warcraft: the shattering: prelude to cataclysm. Christie Golden1035 руб
If you continue your path, little spark, you will cause great harm. His eyes were open now, watching the path of the tiny flame. Find them, do not destroy the dwellings or take the lives of my people! For a second, he seemed to wink out of existence but then blazed back with renewed vigor. I must burn! I must live! There are places where your glow and heat are welcome. He lifted his hand. Thrall knew what he had to do. But I must protect my people from the harm you would cause them. Forgive me, Brother Flame. The spark seemed to spasm, and yet he continued on his lethal course. I have requested, I have begged, now I warn. The spark flared defiantly, then dwindled, finally settling down to nothing more than the faintest of glowing embers. Thrall, grim-faced, clenched his hand hard. The threat had ended, but Thrall was reeling. For now, he would no longer do anyone harm. It was a relationship of mutual respect, not of threats and control and, in the end, destruction. This was not the way of the shaman with the elements. It was far greater than anything any shaman, or even group of shaman, could ever attempt to do to him. Oh, the Spirit of Fire could never be extinguished. But this part of him, this elemental manifestation, had been defiant, uncooperative. He was eternal, as all the spirits of the elements were. He was part of a disturbing trend of elements that were sullen and rebellious rather than cooperative. And he had not been alone. Other shaman were now calling rain to soak the city in case there was another aberrant spark that persisted in its course of devastation. And in the end, Thrall had had to completely dominate him. What in the name of the ancestors was happening? New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Christie Golden has written thirty-five novels and several short stories in the fields of science fiction, fantasy and horror. Thrall stood in the rain, letting it soak him, pour off his massive green shoulders, and drip down his arms. An avid player of World of Warcraft, she has written two manga short stories and several novels in that world (Lord of the Clans, Rise of the Horde, Arthas: Rise of the Lich King, and The Shattering: Prelude to Cataclysm) with more in the works. Among her many projects are over a dozen Star Trek novels and several original fantasy novels. Forthcoming is Devils’ Due, a StarCraft II novel focusing on the unlikely friendship between Jim Raynor and Tychus Findlay. She has also written the StarCraft Dark Templar Trilogy, Firstborn, Shadow Hunters, and Twilight. Her first two books in that series, Omen and Allies, are on shelves now. Golden is also currently writing three books in the major nine-book Star Wars series Fate of the Jedi, in collaboration with Aaron Allston and Troy Denning. 2010. Golden currently lives in Colorado. |
