Short Story (exclusive excerpt) from The Chronicles of Han Storm
Reincarnation of Racewater
If
you are going to live for 400 years, your friends and family passes on into
different dimensions. But sometimes, they wish to re-join you and you get to
continue your adventures with their Soul-Spirits reincarnated in new bodies . .
.
} I faltered.
The young recruit in front of me had your
typical Gancor disposition. Dark brown skin, black hair, well-built body.
He even had the Racewater features stamped
across his handsome face.
But what made me gasp is the fact that
before me, within this . . . boy, I recognise my brother, my friend, my handler
from so many years ago.
Daniel Racewater, re-incarnated within
this new, vibrant body.
The young man stuck out his hand, waiting
to be greeted.
Within my distress to see Racewater in
front of me, yet also not Racewater any longer, I’ve completely missed the name
they call him now.
“I did not catch your name?” I asked,
greeting the young man with a firm glove-covered hand.
“It is Ignesious Racewater. You can call
me Racewater. Everyone does.”
Even his voice was very similar to
Daniel’s.
“May I ask? Are you family of Captain
Daniel Racewater?” I turned away from him, seating myself on the comfortable
couch.
“Yes. I’m his nephew. It is a pity that I
never had the honour of knowing him. He passed over before I was born.”
