I took the opportunity to work up the spell Kitty Kendall, the young witch from Behind The Eyes Of Dorian Gray uses in my current WIP to send lover Dmitri back to his own time. I'm still tweaking it.
Enjoy this little taste of an upcoming novel.
***
Attend to me, oh spirits thus, in this place of life, who
Brought to me this man through time, my
Charge as I find the way to send him back home through
Dimensions of space, and
Echoes of time.
Ferocious is the demon's spell who placed my prince out of his measure.
Give me, oh spirits, the power to counter the demon so, and
Halt the march of time.
I invoke the zeitgeists that dwell in this realm
Just like Morgan and Circe before me to hamper this
Knave sorcerer, granting his power over
Life and death to return
My lover, the man out of time, to the era of his birth.
Now
Open the
Portal.
Quicken my resolve to step through and
Render this fiendish malcontent, this
Sorcerer of ill repute, impotent in his power, in his
Temperament so that others may not be caught
Unaware by his charm, blinded by his
Vile ambition to rule with an iron fist.
Wash away the stains of his blackest deeds, this
Xenocrat, this usurper, this sorcerer of the same flesh of my prince
Yet not of the same flesh, this
Zealot of a fakir whose power I now control and diminish.
