Hyperion read to this point and finally let out a breath of relief.
The Shadow World's prompts she saw must be about Miss Witch's perspectives in this twelve-year story on the projected timeline.
"Under the desperate protection of Fallen Lord Calila, you who should have died in deep autumn many years ago have lived once more."
"Your survival ultimately brought no change, those destined to fail still fail, and those destined to win still win. You know you shouldn't be a burden on him, you could only watch him moving further and further away."
"You know he's tough as dark steel, pure-hearted as liuli, before the end of the chaotic world, he won't waver. No matter how much Destiny takes from him, nothing can stop his might, and you're destined to fall behind him."
"And your promise to yourself is to survive, waiting for the day he returns, to keep a piece of your soul's sanctuary for him forever, which is the most important thing you can do for him."
