ESTELAN snippet....
Shai’s mind wandered
back to the dream, grasping at the threads she could recall, pushing the edges
of her mind, trying to see something new in it. She stared at the tile work
around her altar, purples of every shade, some bearing the mark of Moon Mother,
and surrounding the small statuette she offered thrice daily prayers to. Shai marveled at the beauty of the Moon
Mother’s visage in the flickering firelight from her jasmine candles. The small idol’s porcelain eyes frozen in an
upward fashion, her delicate lips curved in a knowing smile, warm and soft as a
mother’s should be. And then it came,
hard and fast, Shai tried to react to the aura, to control the vision, but then
she was falling – again.
