Who would be attracted to the chore of tracking down unwilling hosts and capturing them? Who would have the stomach to face the violence of this particular species, the hostile humans who killed so easily, so thoughtlessly? Here, on this planet, the Seekers had become practically a… militia–my new brain supplied the term for the unfamiliar conceptMost believed that only the least civilized souls, the least evolved, the lesser among us, would be drawn to the path of Seeker Still, on Earth the Seekers had gained new statusNever before had an occupation gone so awryNever before had it turned into a fierce and bloody battleNever before had the lives of so many souls been sacrific | | Saturday, December 11th, 2010 | | 2:54 pm |
