My heart has been given to two. [Well...three, but only two of the three are alive.] My Companion Yfandes is the other half of my heart. Where Stefen is my romantic love; she is...my family. I see her as a mother of my soul - or perhaps a sister of my soul.

Companions are otherworldly beings that Choose those who are meant to be Heralds. Once a Companion bonds with someone, the bond cannot be broken except through death.

[His voice is sad but he quickly recovers.]

I will tell him, thank you.
