A chilling, deep female voice echoed through the room. "You've awakened."
Memphis, the elder in a dark purple robe, rose from the shadows. "Tell me, what did you see?"
Lanse swallowed hard.
Soon, he was surrounded by the elders, recounting everything—the urgency to stop Sheena and Prodigy.
To his shock, the elders revealed they had recently received messages from the Drift about Prodigy as well. But there was more—another warning about Tess. They said she was destined to destroy the world and had to be stopped.
Lanse gasped. "What?"
The elders silenced him with a stern look. "Keep that to yourself. Watch her closely. Make sure she doesn't fulfill that prophecy."
