An Interrupted Wedding 4 - snippet for #WeWriWa from Grand Master's Mate

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets.
Today, I’ll continue the horrid wedding scene from my WIP, Grand Master’s Mate, Book 3 in the trilogy. Violet and her Grand Master, Athanor, are at the wedding of her friends, when another Grand Master, the Red Queen, Morrigu, drops in, explosively.
You can read last Sunday’s snippet here:  http://auroraspringernovels.blogspot.com/2015/09/an-interrupted-wedding-3-wewriwa-from.htmlThe snippet ended with:Grimacing in fury, the Red Queen zapped red rays at Athanor, again and again.
Her attacks were futile. She was unable to penetrate his shield, strengthened by his link with Violet. An impasse. Ruby lasers reflected from the translucent blue envelope around Athanor and the people he shielded. Morrigu roared her frustration. Raising her red arms to the ceiling, Morrigu blasted the intact windows. Glass panes crashed down and Athanor tightened his screen over the helpless people. The roof trusses creaked and snapped, tumbling onto the sizzling blue bubble of Athanor’s shield. He pumped energy into the defensive screen, leaving nothing for a thrust at their devilish red attacker.
