mirthfulartist:But she felt warm. In fact, she felt hot, red-hot with anger … angerat the bruised turf, anger at her own stupidity, anger at this beautifulcreature whose only talent was control.This … creature was trying to take her world.All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s ThirdThoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all thingsyours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them!Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them!Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land!My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they aremine!I have a duty!The anger overflowed. She stood up clenched her fists and screamedat the storm, putting into the scream all the rage that was inside her.Lightning struck the ground on either side of her. It did so twice.And it stayed there, crackling, and two dogs formed.Steam rose from their coats, and blue light sparked from their earsas they shook themselves. They looked attentively at Tiffany.The Queen gasped, and vanished.‘Come by, Lightning!’ shouted Tiffany. ‘Away to me, Thunder!’And she remembered the time when she’d run across the downs,falling over, shouting all the wrong things, while the two dogs haddone exactly what needed to be done …Two streaks of black and white sped away across the turf and uptowards the clouds.They herded the storm. -- source link
