"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."

Nanny reached for my hands. "Lyla, listen to me. The reason I've kept all this from you is that the choice you face is unbearable. To defeat the Dark One permanently, you must use your true Moonsinging power—channelled through your pheromones—during the twin moons rising."

"And what will that do to me?" I asked, sensing the worst was yet to come.

"It will require a sacrifice," she whispered, tears filling her eyes. "Either your life... or one of your children."

The room seemed to tilt around me. "No," I said, rising again. "That's not a choice. That's a nightmare."

"That's why I wanted to spare you this knowledge," Nanny pleaded. "I hoped we might find another way."

"There is no other way," Terra stated flatly. "The cycle must be broken. A life of divine blood must be given willingly to balance what Neriah disrupted centuries ago."

I paced furiously as my mind raced. "I won't sacrifice my children. And I won't leave them motherless either."
