Zavian turned Neera around to face him, steadying her. She held onto his hands with urgency, willing him to look at her.
"He said I am the final piece," Neera said. "He said my time is near. He is going to take me, Zavian, and I don't know where. But he is coming. I can somehow feel him when he is near, just before he appears. Now I feel him everywhere. I don't know how, but it is something evil. Zavian."
Her breaths came out quick, and tears poured out of her eyes like streams.
"Neera, I need you to breathe", Zavian told her. "Breath, steady, that's right. You will never be alone again, do you hear me? I would make sure I am always there for you as much as possible."
"It's what Eloise predicted, isn't it?"
