"Yes, if you've been there a day and until you get back to your own world for a full day. Sofi, you aren't thinking of going to the immortal world, are you? You're a powerful enough Oracle," he said.
"Sometimes it seems like it'd be nice to have a bit clearer vision," she admitted. "But I know it's not worth running into Others."
"Promise me you won't go," he urged. "There are ancient laws that forbid it."
"I wouldn't know how to get there," she said. "Don't worry, Darian. I have a good head on my shoulders."
"I know." He was about to press her to make an actual vow when she sighed.
"Now, get out of my room. I'm exhausted."
"You have to tell me if you're in any sort of danger, Sofi."
"You'll know soon enough. We'll be fine, Darian. Just do what you were brought back to do."
Darian rose, not wanting to leave when his family was in danger. Sofi waved him away before sinking into the bed again and pulling the covers up. Darian hesitated one moment longer before he located a small group of Others near Jonny's lair. He Traveled to them, wanting to blow off some of the emotional build-up and kill those that threatened everyone around him.

When he'd gone, Sofi flung off the blankets. She got dressed and looked at the time, her heart pounding harder and harder as she moved towards the door. She'd had dreams of Damian, Jule and Dusty being picked off one-by-one by the Wathers. And now, it was her turn. She'd almost made it when she heard the voice.
"Hello, ikira," the Watcher said. "I know you've Seen this moment."
"I have," she whispered. "I was going to get Bianca."
"We already got her."
Sofi turned, clenching her fists. "Damian."
"They are safe for now. The Others can't find them."
She wasn't sure whether to trust him or not but nodded, praying he was telling the truth. The Watcher extended his hand. Sofi grudgingly took it, terrified of what was to come. Her visions were all over the place this night, and she wasn't sure what she'd initially thought was the right path would actually turn out well.
"You know where we're going?" the Watcher asked.
"The immortal world," she answered. "Part of your plan to manipulate Darian."
"Seems we have the same plan, if you didn't tell him."
