He had no idea how he, or anyone else, was going to be able to explain to her what had happened to bring her here. It was bad enough that she had been abruptly pulled away from her brother and father but telling her that she wouldn't be able to go back to them because some a broken seal had brought her here with no way back was going to be harder. An apocalypse was the last thing a child her age should have to worry about, although if the seal could be explained without going into the apocalypse, that was the way to do it.

Leo stopped and crouched down beside her. "You didn't do anything to get lost, Phillipa. Sometimes things like this happen just because. You're going to be all right. I promise."
