"Does it have anything to do with my babies?" I asked, staring at both of them.
Nanny and Terra exchanged knowing looks, but they didn't say anything.
"What?" I asked.
As they didn't say anything. Horror dawned on me as I understood. "My babies. He wants my babies."
"Not both of them," Nanny corrected. "Just one. The one who carries shadow magic, the echo of what his child would have been. He could make himself whole again with that power, breaking the curse and gaining unlimited power."
My arms wrapped protectively around my stomach. "How could he possibly know about my pregnancy? It's just you and Terra who know and…" I stopped, as I realised. "Lenny. He sensed it and must have reported to the Dark One."
"I think so. Lenny is more than he appears," Terra agreed. "But that's a conversation for another time. He doesn't pose a threat."
