Zef set the second doo-dad down on the coffee table and sighed. "I don't know. I was told they'd help me control a godling."
Jacob laughed. "Who told you that?"
Zephyr frowned. "I'm not at liberty to say. But I think my source is reliable." Zef knew Eido was around. While Jacob had conceded to let his nephew live, Zef didn't think he would have such leniency for Eido so she never told Jacob her secret, and Jacob never asked but she wondered if Eido had heard what she'd said. The Durante boy had proven himself a reliable hunter. She shouldn't have doubted it, and of the four marks he'd been sent after he only refused on, and Hayden had taken care of it. Zef didn't think he would need to be controlled. And Eido was loyal to her, and to the unborn child she would never meet.
She looked back towards where Eido likely was and sighed. Eido would never meet the boy, and Zef would never know where and when he'd play his role. Only that he would help end the war against the gods. He would lead them to glory. She was proud of that.
"You okay? You are starting to wander off." Zef could tell he wanted to add more, but what she didn't know. And it didn't matter she wouldn't tell him of her journey's through the lands she'd been. The child she had and lost. She wasn't sure she'd tell anyone of that loss.
"Fine. Just thinking how this might work."
"They sorta remind me of those creatures from the Aliens movies. The ones that break out of the eggs and wrap around your face."
Zef chuckled. "Perhaps it's similar. Wrap around the brain stem? or Spine maybe? If you are to control someone though I don't think I'd want this thing in my brain." Zef shuddered. She didn't want to pick up the pieces again, specially since she didn't know how they worked and if Jacob was right about the resemblance.
