His Destiny! His Provenance!
She said the words with such total confidence that even Noah paused, because when he held her hand, he felt something he had not expected!
It was as though he were holding onto a boundless sun. A pull came off her frame through their joined hands, an unfathomable sense of attraction that reached into him and did not ask permission, drawing at his existence.
Thalia smiled, and let go!
"While I did say we have some leeway," she said, folding her hand back into her lap, "the dangers are very much real. You have to prepare. Nobody knows what THE Sealed One is truly capable of, with IT."
Her eyes stayed steady on his. "I need to make sure that you and THE Infiniverse are ready. So that Mother, and the others, are safe."
Her poise was grand even seated in her own dried blood, and Noah looked at this unfathomable woman and repeated her name silently, cementing it into his existence.
Thalia Vasiliou. Thalia!
