Chapter 194: Quetz

Anastasia's eyes became wide and her heartbeat accelerated when the image of a wraith flashed across her mind. She turned to Ileus and in a breathless voice said, "I— I remember now!" 

He frowned. "What do you remember?" he asked as he jerked his head back. 

"There— there was a wraith standing when the spirits attacked me. Dressed in a black armor, a faceless man, he was just standing there with a spear, watching me— watching me fight with the spirits. He didn't join the spirits but continued to watch us all of the time. However, I became so involved in the fight that I forgot about him completely!" Her sapphire eyes became wider and her feet shuffled. 

"By Skadi!" Daryn said in a jittery voice. "What would a wraith want?" 

Ileus' eyes narrowed and his shoulders stiffened. "Did he not follow you here?" he asked in a hard voice.
