Elion…

Elion….

Elion is one of the supporting characters in my book. I know what her role is and where her she ends up but I was having a lot of problems beginning her journey. Today I finally made some progress with that and have wrapped my mind around her character and voice. An excerpt from The Pelegra Chronicles: The Son of Merek.

“Hi.” She then slipped into the seat on the other side of her father. Jules joined them placing one last steaming bowl onto the table.

“Well, dig in everyone!” The only sound was the clinking of dishes as everyone filled their plates. Aiden cautiously selected items; he had no idea what most of it was, but figured if it smelled good then it would taste good, at least he hoped so. There were vegetable mashes, a creamy soup, chunks of meat smothered in a spicy red sauce, and a crisp vegetable salad. Everything tasted delicious.
