Short Excerpt Mishap and
Retribution:
Grasiella kept a safe distance between herself and Missy as she
followed her through the thick jungle of the Big Island of Hawaii. Missy was
keeping something from her; she could feel it and Grasiella had to know what it
was. It was not an easy task to locate Missy or to follow her, Missy was fast
and she seemed to fly from tree to tree. She suddenly vaulted onto the ground
only to run like a gazelle around the trees and brush. Grasiella had never
needed to work so hard at trying to stay concealed; she had experienced a close
call the first time that Missy had come crashing to the earth from her high
perch in the trees.
Earlier in the day
Missy had agreed to meet with Grasiella after receiving a gnome who had carried
the message. Grasiella had needed to swipe a strand of hair from Missy without
her realizing what she was doing; she had used the strand of hair for a
tracking charm. It was the only way that Grasiella was able to keep up with Missy;
if not for the charm she would have lost her miles back.
Over the course of
the last few weeks Grasiella’s skills at charms had improved, it was a skill
she had never thought to use for anything other than her own amusement. Now she
had no choice but to use her magic as a way of discovering the secrets that
everyone on the islands seemed to be carrying around with them. Those secrets
were pivotal to her and her twin sister Tatiana’s survival.
Missy came to a
stop at the base of the Kohala Mountains her body tensed as she stood unmoving.
Grasiella used the trunk of a tree to block herself from view and peeked out to
watch carefully. It seemed as if the air had become still and the noises of the
jungle had come to a halt as she anxiously waited to see what Missy would do
next.
Missy’s head rolled
to the right, her right arm rose level with her shoulder until it suddenly shot
skyward stretching up, her palm opened filling with the light from the sun.
Ever so slowly her head rolled to the left and she repeated the movements on
the left side of her body. Very slowly her arms began to drop until they rested
at her sides and as they dropped a piece of the mountain shifted ever so
slightly to the left. Missy kicked out with her left leg jumped into the air
and landed on her hands in a handstand position her back to the Kohala
Mountains. Her right leg bent backwards and very slowly she touched the
mountain with her foot.
Another piece of the mountain shifted aside this time it revealed an
opening in the shape of a trillion. Missy pushed against the ground with her
hands, swung back around until she was on her feet and strode into the
mountain, sealing it shut behind her.

HI Everyone, I’m M.M. Shelley and I
would like to thank Christina for having me as a guest today. I would like to
share an interview with Kana’i Wailele from Mishap and Retribution.
So
please pour yourself a cup of your favorite Latte and if you’re at work, hang
up your “On Break” shingle as we take five with Kana’i.
What is your
full name?
Kana’i Wailele
What is the
Hawaiian meaning of your name?
My grandmother
Pele named me. Kana’i stands for conqueror and Wailele means waterfall. Water
has a strong meaning in my family; it stands for power and control.
When is your
birthday?
February 2, 2027
When did you
first learn about magic?
My grandmother
Pele, she took great interest in my training and saw to it that I had my
training on the largest of all her islands: the Big Island.
My family draws its power from the fire within the islands and the water that
helped shaped them.
How do you
like having Pele as your grandmother?
She’s more like
a teacher than a grandmother. She likes order and if she doesn’t have it there
is hell to pay. As her grandson, I feel that I have to be a certain way and I
don’t have the freedom that my cousin Kye has.
What kind of
school do you go to? Do they teach magic?
I didn’t go to
a normal school, I guess you could say that I was home schooled.
Having lived
in Hawaii all
of your life, is there any place you would like to see?
After the summer I’ve had I would like to do some traveling with Grasiella.
After the summer I’ve had I would like to do some traveling with Grasiella.
What is your
favorite pastime?
I enjoy
working, but I guess that doesn’t count as a pastime. I like to drive around
the islands and if I have Grasiella with me what else could I want?
