Confusion flickered across Jade's face, her eyes igniting with a soft white glow at their centers as she considered the creature's words. "And why do you think that?" she asked, a hint of skepticism in her voice.
The creature answered like it had centuries behind every word.
"Even in my short time around and what I have heard, he has given parts of him for as long as he has existed for one reason or another, and I have never seen it not play out in his favor."
It let the thought sit between them before adding, "If I were a guessing king, I would say you will die upon the summoning, and you will be the vessel for his summoning."
Jade's skin prickled at the calm delivery.
It sounded less like a threat and more like a weather report.
"But I suppose that isn't too much of my concern. However, I do believe you have the potential to assist me in preparing for the great coming."
