THE LIGHTNING BIRD AND OTHER DEMONS

Erin writes . . .  

Welcome to our stop on the Parajunkee & Alison Can Read Follow Friday hop. I must say, I'm having such fun with this. It gives me a real thrill to see what other bloggers are doing and thinking.

 

So, now to the question . . .


What blogger inspires you? It can be any kind, it doesn't have to be a book blog. 

Because Seth doesn't read other people's blogs (Don't worry, I more than make up for it) I will answer this question. 

 

 Seth: *interrupts* Excuse me, but this is my blog too, you know, and I will answer the question. 

 

Erin: Okaaay . . . 

 

Seth: I just think that anyone who can blog consistently, posting every day, is worthy of a medal. And people who've been blogging for two years . . .  jeez, I don't know how they do it. Okay, Erin, now it's over to you.

 

Erin: Sorry, Seth. Sometimes I get carried away. *contrite face* I enjoy so many blogs, but one that stands out for me is: http://read-a-holicz.blogspot.com Lisseth and Karina started blogging at the same time we did, and I have watched in awe as they have grown. They have really inspired me!

 

Seth: Now I'd like to introduce you all to another influence in our world. 

As you know if you're a regular visitor to our blog, we've been talking about angels this week, and we promised we'd introduce you to a demonic angel named Reuel. 

 

Erin: The same Reuel who tried to murder me. He wanted to force Seth to forsake me so he would worship him. You can read about in our story Pledged.  Although once human, Reuel's now a wraith-

 

Seth: *interrupts* That's just a fancy word for demon. But the guy radiates no light, so he defies all photography, but we have a pic of his pet Lightning Bird - probably the scariest bird alive. 

 

 

Erin: Even though Reuel and his mutant, two-headed bird lived fifteen-hundred-years ago, the Lightning Bird was so feared that it has blazed its way into African legend. 

People in southern Africa, where I live and were Pledged happened, are still terrified of it because they believe it eats souls. Some people even think that if a Lightning Bird flies over your house, someone will die. 

 

Seth: Talk about the 'blue bird of happiness' . . . 

 

Erin: Very funny, Seth. But the superstitious in Africa don't think it's so cool. If they even suspect that a Lightning Bird flew over they house, they will burn their own home to the ground to stop the curse.

In the meantime, have fun. Enjoy the blog, and welcome to any new followers.
