Waking Dream [Tales of the Citadel 23]
by Viola Grace
Tales of the Citadel
Twenty-Three
Out of her body and
lost in space, Wiyra finds solace and help in the form of a tracker who has his
own designs on her physical self.
Wiyra is an astral
investigator. She can leave her body and search any specific point in space
that she wishes. She merely has to know its location before she leaves herself.
A problem arises when she leaves to examine some mineral deposits and returns
to the place her body should be, only to find it missing.
Her entire home is missing. Her cousins,
grandfather and brothers are all gone with no trace. There is only one person
she can turn to, and while it makes her grit her astral teeth, she heads to
Citadel Reevish.
Master Tracker Burin is woken from a sound
sleep by an astral hand in his head, and while he is startled, delight soon
follows. Wiyra has come to him for help and the Citadel does nothing for free.
He has her right where he wants her…as soon as he finds her.
