"There was a thundering crash and a scream. Junelight flinched backwards. A bodyguard caught her shoulder and her crystals fuzzed, ready to cycle all the way up. But he said, “Wait wait, see, look,” and there were no more screams, no more explosions.
She took a breath, and mentally worked on keeping her eyes from lighting up. Her heart battered, thumping in time with her crystals. She pulled away from the guard’s grasp, and tried to see what had happened.
The tent was still. Bettine, her expression quiet and uninterested, stood with one arm outstretched, her weight shifted to her back leg. In her hand, the steel blaster. A curl of smoke unwound from its end.
“Sweet depths of Culdur…” Junelight murmured. She’d researched what the blasters might look like, what they might do. None of the records had mentioned the sound."
I like the introduction of new technology in an interesting way every time, thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
