    So far I've read quite a few of these books, and I'm enjoying each one. I hope to read them all, the different colors and textures of the beings is truly something "out of this world". LOL

Sector Guard Book 24

By

Viola Grace

To Tina, Janet and Jay who brought the Sector Guard into the light of day when Devine Destinies was starting out. To the readers who have kept this as fun to write as a series could be. Love you all from the bottom of my heart.

Chapter One

The Centre of the Open Mind was humming with activity. Theo Nywyn was holding court with her friends and family and Sekhara had brought the holiday present that was her ticket to the party.

Hara! You made it! Theo’s Terran enthusiasm made Sekhara smile like it always did.

Nothing could stop me from attending your annual festivities, Theo. Good evening, Altius. She inclined her head to the Wyoran Representative to the Alliance.

Altius Nywyn had his arm around his wife and was busy greeting the flood of visitors to the Centre. Good evening, Sekhara Norr. I trust all is well at the Wheel?

She smiled sadly. As well as it ever is. There are always links being taken advantage of and mediation for reparation to be conducted.

Here with friends and family, Sekhara was able to keep her shields firmly in place, but in the course of her duties, she had to open her mind and investigate the allegations levied by the links toward their clients and in some cases, the other way around.

She put her gift on the table and went in search of some punch. The moment that she sat down, Ledara snugged up against her hip, her red skin the image of her father’s. It contrasted sharply with the navy blue colouration that Sekhara had been born with, but those were Altius’s genetics in action.

Ledara smiled up at her softly. The party is fun. Mommy was worried that no one would come.

She worries about that every year.

Yes, but this year I can feel it.

Oh, dear. It was early but not unheard of for a child of two Wyorans to develop early empathy. Ledara was going to be the first in her age group. A hefty burden for a child of five.

You will be fine. Ask your dad to send you to the Education Centre during the summer or have your uncle Sahvahn give you instruction. You can develop shields and all kinds of ways to keep your thoughts in and other folks out.

Is that what you do?

Sekhara smiled and gave the little girl a squeeze. No, I have what is called a warped talent.

Ledara frowned. Does it hurt? Do you need a link?

She chuckled. No, sweet. I am simply not an empath anymore. My mind is much more direct now. I see words and the emotions that form them.

Oh. Because if you needed a link, I could do that when I am older.

Sekhara gave her another squeeze. You have a good heart, but save your talents for when you get older. For now, learn how to use and control them. The stronger you get, the better you will be able to help folks if you still want to when you are older.

Whatever the child would have said next was lost
