“I
don't know which part of that sentence I find most disturbing,”
Robert says, feeling worried. “If you're not a person, what are
you? Neutralised is a very suggestive word, don't you think? And
powerful? I couldn't get myself out of a field. How can I be
powerful?”
“You
couldn't get out of that field on your own,” Tom replies, “Because
that field was a cage designed especially for you, a wake walker.”
“So
you say, but I don't understand why they'd do that.”
“Wake
walkers are powerful, because they bring an active, conscious
imagination into the Weave, a place of pure, raw imagination.
There's nothing you can't do here, once you know how.”
