Meanwhile, Zagan also learns from Orias that Nephyâs birthday is coming within the month, and the two Archdemons decide to mark that day as Nephterosâs birthday as well. Much like Nephy, however, Zagan is ignorant of how birthdays work as he tries to plan a surprise for her.
The entire castle is in a celebratory mood, but dark clouds loom over the horizon. Zagan knows of a terrible problem haunting Nephteros that has to be addressed before any sort of celebration is an option, and he still has no idea how to resolve it. Whatâs more, after a month of relative peace and quiet, Shere Khan and Bifrons finally make their move.
