Title: Fear, Anger, Hope Rating: PG Couple/Character: Kethlun Warder Event: 110 Word Hurdles Words: 110 Summary: Keth’s emotions during his first meeting with Tris.
I was terrified. The woman who wielded lightning like another might a sword, who treated the monster she made like a lady’s lapdog – tame and soft and docile and meek – terrified me.
I was angry. The lightning had made my mouth rebel against me for years had cursed me again, this time thrown from the hands of a girl, making my careful speech disintegrate back into slurring and stutters, it enraged me.
And I was… hopeful. Maybe she was right, maybe being a mage could cure this. Maybe the glass that I could control with ease in my youth, the glass that rebelled against me now, would obey me again.

The woman who wielded lightning like another might a sword - wonderful description, and I like the multitude of emotions Tris inspires, and that the last is hope.

Great simile and alliteration there! I enjoyed the breakdown of Keth's emotions.
