“You’re going to take him away?” Liora tilted her head. “Where is he going?”

“A place where he can meet up with your great–grandmother,” Eleanor added.

“No!” Liora shook her head. “You’re so pretty and gentle. I want you to stay, Grandma!”

“No, I can’t, dear. We have our world, and we can’t stay with you guys, or you guys will have to pay an unimaginable price.”
