VBT: SPOTLIGHT - AWAKENING COLORS BY RITU K. GUPTA


AWAKENING COLORS
BY
RITU K. GUPTA












Synopsis:

Awakening Colors will take you on a magical adventure!   

Read this fascinating story that weaves together current times with ancient mythologies. Set in modern day Toronto, this book is an exciting story of adventures that evolve across material worlds into illusions and beyond.

Using his powers to reach into the world of illusions, ArcheLasarre is able to change destinies.  The power of his manipulations threatens all three worlds: the material, the illusionary and the timeless.

Visions of constantly changing destinies and futures depicted in vibrant colors - this is what Pari sees.  Mystified and confused, Pari initially hides her visions from others. She dismisses them as hallucinations.

Guided by scrolls left to her by the spiritual master Chanakya, Pari needs to discover her powers and define her own destiny.  Will she be seduced by the lure of Arche's power of illusions?  Will she choose her own path?  What will Pari do?  



Awakening Excerp:

Arche felt the disturbance.
It’s not as though that world was quiet and still like a deep pond, where a single pebble drop would create ripples that flowed outwards touching the solid edges that repelled them back, distorting the reflections that were otherwise still. Those distortions skewed the reflected reality, and so one was forced to either ignore reality or acknowledge the disturbance. No – it was not like that. It was actually the reverse.
The whole world was a big disturbance. It was a like a churning ocean in constant motion. Waves of desires flowed in. Tides rose and fell constantly. A single pebble dropped in that ocean would have no impact. It would be tossed around, sink to its weight, succumb to the pull of tide till it crested high on the breaking surf to smash itself into grains of sand, pulled in and pushed out, sucked in and thrown out all on the whims of the tides that churned it to its will.
So no the disturbance was not a pebble. Not something that insignificant.
He sensed the disturbance because it was the reverse. Like a collective inhale...and then no exhale. A stillness. It was the reverse of the disturbance. It was the stillness that disturbed him.
He closed his eyes and shut out the mortal world. He sensed deeper that he ever could because of the stillness. The oceanic turbulence that he normally encountered blocked him stopped him ground him up and tossed him out. He was the pebble. And today he was the pebble that could skim on the surface of that stillness. He could skid along, farther and farther, till he sank. And then he could sink deeper that he knew. It was the stillness. It disturbed him. It scared him. But it also intrigued him.
“What has happened?” he whispered into the dark depths.
“She has looked in,” it whispered back.
He groped in the darkness, unsure of what it was she saw when she looked in and whether she remembered any of it. But he knew what it meant.
It shocked him. The shock made his eyelids flutter. Light crashed in and expelled him from that blind world in a blink.
