"Sarah," Lunar says, "You still have family left."
She gets up, onto her feet, and looks to her Ghost, "Says the Ghost who let me go to the Black Garden alone."
Mason chortles over how stubborn she is.
"I knew she'd play that card," Lunar whispered to Finn.
Topaz floats over, "You're just as stubborn as your father."
"You know this because..?" Sarah asked.
"I'm his Ghost, Topaz. Nice to see you again," She imitates a bow.
Mason smiles, "I'd knew I'd find you, Sarah Bearah."
"So that's how I knew that nickname..." Sarah says, awestruck.

"Thank you." Finn says, smiling at her.
-
The leaves nearby begin to levitate...
-
Finn notices. "Um, are you doin that?"
-
She starts to panic. The leaves become as sharp as knives and they begin to fly everywhere. Mason massages her shoulder, "Take it easy, Sarah."
-
Finn catches a leaf, having lots of experience with catching knives.
-
She begins hyperventilates, as she closes her eyes, as if in a trance, "The void accursed. Her power grows stronger. With a swift stab, Hunter's reign will be longer."
-
"What?" Finn asks, worried now. "Sarah, what are ya talkin about?"
-
The Warlock remained in this trance-like state, saying, "Terra reclaimed with a force of light. This new Golden Age won't come without a price. The void accursed. Her power will be stronger. With a swift stab, Hunter's reign will be longer. The last Grey warrior will meet their doom. Bound to the four armed. And the broken tomb. A friendship broken. Smashed like tin. The Titan's daughter. Will rise again." She collapsed. And the leaves fell to the ground.
-
Fíonn kneels beside her. "Sarah?"
-
She was unconscious. Mason picked her up, "I'll take her to the Medbay." Lunar muttered in awe, "No wonder that had such flow...."
-
"Why does this happen to her? It feels like a daily occurrence now."
-
"Did you pay attention to what she was saying?" Lunar asked.
-
"Sounded like a prophesy. Presumably endin with me diein'?"
-
"I don't know who's gonna die. But it's worrysome. Someone could betray her."
-
"Fíonn is probably going to die. The Traveler said so." Wisp says.
-
"We have to hope Sarah doesn't find out... if she does..." Lunar stops for a few seconds, "It's kind of a package deal. You die. Sarah will go down with you."
-
"... Why?" Finn asks, looking a bit scared.
-
"You're all that matters to her now... if you die... She'll do anything to see you again," Lunar explains.
-
He slumps against the tree. "Bloo'y ell..."
-
"Once she falls for someone, there's no going back..."
-
Finn puts his head in his hands. "I'm goin ta freakin die an It's going ta kill the girl I love. Why me?" He laments.
-
"I'll do my best to stop her, Fíonn. But I can't make any guarantees."
-
He just stares at the ground.
-
Lunar remains silent.
-
"Wha am I s'posed ta do?"
