Obsessively researching and cross-referencing, Wes feverishly hunted any references he could find on Illyria. He was fascinated, now, by every facet of her being. She was so alien to his experience that his Watcher's sensibilities had been awakened--in the manic sense of one who has discovered a puzzle that holds the key to a priceless treasure.
