Billy: Messenger of Powers
“He threw himself at Fulgora, locking his arms around her waist and driving her to the ground. At the same time, he shouted, “Are you nuts?”
Luckily, the Red Lady was a petite woman and unprepared for Billy’s outburst, and so even Billy’s small frame was enough to knock her down. They hit the craggy rock of the cliff top with a bone-jarring thud, and Billy felt his breath jerk loose from his lungs in a whoosh.
Fulgora was on her feet almost instantly, shoving Billy to one side and breathing like a wounded rhino. She wasn’t hurt, he could see at a glance. She was just angry. White rage gripped her beautiful face, draining it of blood and turning her pale. Only her lips remained red, pressed tight against half-bared teeth.
Her fire-sword was still in her hand, and she held it in a guard position, as though preparing for Billy to attack her—or preparing herself to attack him. Even so, Billy didn’t flinch. He was too amazed at what had just almost happened to be afraid.
“Are you nuts?”
