Thanks bb, I'm glad you liked it! I always loved reading about Richard's fury and how it tied in with the sword and Fury is one of my favorite episodes. :)
Thanks for commenting! <333

THIS was awesome:
"He is right. I am the Seeker. The sword is mine and mine alone. I take it from his grasp and the hilt feels readily at home in my hand. Fury flickers the moment I touch it, though suddenly, it seems easier now - controlling the rage. Do I have the mettle to defeat it yet again? Will I have it tomorrow?
I see Kahlan over his shoulder, her steadfast gaze upon me and I know; with her at my side, I have the courage for anything."
I loved being inside Richard's head! Awesome job, bb!!!!

Must quote:
My eyes zero in on all that is painful, all that is torment. All that is beautiful. I at last find voice for what has tortured me so long. Words too painful to bear, finally spoken aloud. “I can’t be with the woman I love.” Her pained expression adds to my agony. Zedd is bellowing something about love and loss but I barely notice…I am too fixed on her, on the grief etched so deeply in her features.
You KNEW I'd have to quote that! Any time Richard reveals his thoughts about Kahlan, I'm total mush! :)

Thanks Zoodyac! I just love all angry, intense Richard!! That was actually the first line I thought of when I sat down to write this. I've never written 'first person' like that before but that line just hit me and I ran with it from there.
So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reading/commenting!! <333 :)

Richard...HOT LOL.
"The rage is part of you, Richard. Fighting
against it only makes it stronger." My hands
shake, my arms tremble, fighting the will to cleave him in two. A visceral cry of fury
splits the night and I realize it is me,
struggling to keep my sanity. The sword
knows the burn I feel. It begins to glow,
like fire, mirroring my red hot fury. Through gritted teeth I try to maintain my slim grip
on reality."
This was sooo nicely captured i loved it!
it sounded sooo boookish and bad ass
writing to me heehee. Bravo!
"I see Kahlan over his shoulder, her steadfast gaze upon me and I know; with her at my side,
I have the courage for anything."
SQueeee. Richie can do anything as long as
KK is by his side. heehee. I love this.
I missed your fics Jlyn. you really must write
more. Great job as always, and sorry for the
late comment. you know if life wasn't so busy
