Welcome to Mondays edition of the Twins. Today we will be telling you about Keeping His Destiny, a Sci Fi book that is sure to set fires under your romance meters.
Excerpt:
In
the distance, she heard or thought she heard a familiar voice singing to her.
Weak
and in pain, Aari slid from one rusted shell to another, following the sound,
until she reached the trees, and from there, the trees and stands of scrub
became her crutch. Each step, both excruciating libations to Destiny and
whatever gods existed that she was not finished yet, and she would earn her
place in this world to remain in it.
The
voice she had heard drew closer, she was most certain now she knew what it was,
and she pressed on.
She
reached the end of the woods and stopped, peering out, having happened upon a
small camp of men hunkering around a canister fire alongside one of the rail
trains from old world under a slight overhang, rusted and grown over like most
anything else, but it was an ideal home for slummers. And with them the voice
of her code talker telling a tale in the form of a hymn on a low band radio.
Aari
didn’t care, she could barely walk any further and the sunlight was fading
again. She would not survive another night without a fire. So at the risk of
everything, she stumbled out of the trees towards them.
The
code talker’s song ended and he spoke of a tale. One word stuck out—
Titan—
She
nearly burst into tears as she rushed toward the men— towards the fire can— and
the radio voice who spoke of Tannin.
One
of the men spotted her and jumped to his feet, swinging a rifle around
pointedly at her. “Who goes there?”
Aari
didn’t stop, for she knew if she did, she’d never get back up again. She
stumbled but caught herself before going down, her eyes fixated on the canister
fire.
“Tulo,
let her through.” Someone else called out.
Aari
hung her head, her eyes watched wearily as the man on guard slowly lowered the
rifle and stepped aside. She stalled— teetering— trying to keep up right,
needing to make those last few steps before she could not. “The code talker,
what does he say? Do you know what he is saying?” She pleaded with them with
hopes they understood the code talkers words, “He spoke of the titan.”
The
men exchanged looks, before one answered. A gangly fellow wrapped with several
layers of clothes, his thin gray hair pulled back and tied with a cord. He
swallowed, listening, then began to translate. “He sings of the Titan. How he
is moving, stepping over mountains— he is looking for the lost one. He says the
lost one is still alive and needs Titan’s help.”
