WIP – Technomancer: Exploring Malachi’s Dark Bond

Continuing to share the opening scenes from my current work in progress, Technomancer.

Malachi felt something through the bond he had created with the priestess. Sensing her thoughts across realms was more difficult than he had foreseen. He sat down in the chair on the balcony overlooking the chaos sea. The churning energy from this realm filled him with power. He closed his eyes, sending his senses down the bond. He could sense her struggle – her determination to forge a new path in a world dominated by technology and those who wielded its power. With a wicked grin, Malachi reinforced the geas he had laid upon her. His will whispered into the depths of her subconscious the importance of finding a man of power and influence in the realm of technology. Finding his prey would ensure her survival and success. He would have the power of that distant realm. He would use that power to bring the others to heel. 

He embedded the return command deep within her mind, ensuring it would only be revealed when she has ensnared her target and was ready to bring him back to his new master. Her desire would have no power. Her victims will would be tied to the priestess. Her quest would be fulfilled, regardless of her own feelings or desires.

His will, Malachi Guardian of Set, was all that would matter for the priestess’s quest.

This excerpt is short, since it is a quick-cut at the end of chapter six. The scene sets up some tension in one of the main plot lines that is expanded in the next chapter. I hope you are enjoying this serial sharing of the story. Please like or comment if you want more.
