Anger of the Angels
Page 16
“Hey, I remembered something,” a different voice came out of Dash as he looked at the Angel sadly, calm and masterful as he spoke, “Just now. I remembered fighting your kind before.”
With that, Louie-Louie sprang to life, the armor set glowing at the edges as it kicked in and enhanced his abilities. Before Karsiel could respond, Dash tore the ankle-wing off with a surge of strength before flickering out of sight. Screaming and in pain, the Angel began to lower, hunching over to grip at its wounded leg, feeling the silver bite of L2 as Dash gripped its deformed wing, the Angel’s remaining power allowing them to hover despite itself.
The UnGrimm Troll growled into the Angel-gene’s ear, ”This! THIS is your damnable power,” Karsiel roared in utter fury and pain as Dash put a hand on its shoulder, “Grit your teeth, Angel, and face THE SHOP!”
Flashing past the duo for a moment, Frank’s momentum carried them up in the air further as he gripped the Angel’s waist with both arms, flipping his feet over to smash squarely, sole-to-sole, against Dash’s, the Shopkeepers providing each other a stable footing mid-air with practiced ease. The both of them, gripping and clutching the spinning Angel, tensed up against their makeshift surface before surging away from each other, their energy completely synchronized as they tore the deformed wing from the screaming Angel-gene.

From The Author
Seven freakin’ years.
I’ve been getting banged around and ignored, freakin’ passed over and dissed for going on seven freakin’ years since I started this freakin’ journey.
…actually, strike that “dissed” part. Now that I think about it, I haven’t been really, truly dogged on since that one time I tried to pimp my work out on, er….a secret website on the internet I used to be a part of.
My nibbas from 2006-2010 would’ve loved it. Too bad I was off by a couple of years, which…pretty much sums up my entire career thus far.
I LITERALLY was two freakin’ years off of the wild west that was social media. Nowadays, you can’t get ahead without paying ad money, and who’s got that kind of scrilla?
No, no - don’t let me vent about that here. In fact, I apologize to you, O Reader.
You who have always stood by me. You who have always supported me.
You do deserve better than me…but most of the time?
I’m exactly what you need. ;3
Naw, here we are. Almost done with the Angel Arc, and my editor is working on the finale now. >I< know what comes afterwards, and I do hope you’re slavering at the bit for it.
The thing is, I’ve taken some time off to adjust to certain major changes in my life. As of this published work I’m happily married (no I’m not cheating on you, O Reader - she knows about you. :3 ) with a kitten, and both are working very hard on destroying my personal issues regarding consistency and housekeeping.
Love ‘em both, despite all that.
Even as I rest and adjust to other changes as well: getting all my teeth pulled due to advanced periodonitis then replaced with some really dope dentures (#DentureCulture) and learning how to eat, talk, and sing with them even as my gums heal. Getting glasses to finally correct my vision, and all that goes with changing my personal self-image (I didn’t even KNOW I was adjusting automatically to the blurriness!), and the friends that come into and out of my life.
I’ve had to Purge a few people from my worldview. I’ve accepted new friends into my life as the Universe throws them in.
I’ve discovered new marketers and other types who are currently helping me with The Work, and…well, I’m finally a believer. I’ve FINALLY found a freakin’ marketer who is pimping the hell outta the pages on Facebook and getting me noticed.
FINALLY we’re building an audience and increasing the fanbase to the point that you deserve, O Reader.
I mean, yeah, for me too…but honestly? It’s nice to finally see the marketing work. You do deserve to be among fellows who also enjoy The Work too, not just me.
And hell yeah, there’s always the music too!
I’ve got more books outside of The Generalist to sling as well, but that’s a story for the newsletter, yo. I also begin writing Hell Yeah this year, sooner or later, and there’s still Glitches and Killer 13 to finish.
Altogether, things are lookin’ up. Perhaps they’ll crash again, but hey - y’know yer boy has a thick skin, and I’ll be damned if I let even a couple of obstacles get in my way.
Also - back in the gym after having to stop for the wedding. #HELLYEAH!
Don't forget to tell ya friends 'bout meeeee. I’ve got events, prizes, and so much more to give, O Reader.
Let’s kick ass together! Here’s to the next seven years, yo.
Or, fuck it…let’s make it an even thirteen!
