He looked around his bedroom and wondered whether he was having a hallucination. 'No, this is real,' he exclaimed.

I assumed this included physically, and I wondered if I could stand her presence when next I saw her. However, it was hard to believe that when we first fought Chadwick, she was with my curse because she looked so calm, and always, she coordinated herself. I don’t know if I was coordinating myself enough. Maybe, her throne, also called the throne of blood, the blood throne, or the blood seat had something to do with this. You see, that throne was a powerful tool of its own. While the power of Eleanor could be used against the blood sea, rumours had it nothing could rival the power of the blood throne.
