Evil is coming...

Miriam (Nanny)

Hours later, as the excitement died down, I met Mother Liora.

I wanted to ask her about the real reason I was here but as soon as I opened my mouth, she raised her hand to stop me.

"Tomorrow, Miriam," She said softly "I have a feeling you haven't come with good news. Whatever it is, it can wait until morning. I'll be more receptive then. Rest tonight, dear."

I nodded, though anxiety gnawed at me. I had wanted to tell Liora everything – but it would have to wait.

Later that night, I made my way to my old room, the one I had gotten after I became a 'Moon Devotee'. The room was still unoccupied after all these years and I wondered why. Sinking into the bed, I stared up at the ceiling a soft smile playing on my lips.
