Moira went straight back to her cabin after leaving Albert’s. The end of that conversation, if you remember, did not give us much except that Albert seemed to suggest he knew how Moira’s story would end.
For two hours she did nothing but cry. When it felt as if she had no more tears to spare, she got up, went straight to the book shelf and pulled out the big dictionary. She then flipped the pages over to the ‘Mo’ section.
Moira: a. the personification of fate. b. Moirai, the Fates.
She then pulled another book and sat at the table next to her bed. She read this one page a few times, then scribbled on the pad on the table:
THE MOIRAI (or Moirae) were the goddesses of fate who personified the inescapable destiny of man. [It's a long page, you should just go read it here]
The line that stood out for her:
As man’s fate terminated at his death, the goddesses of fate become the goddesses of death, Moirai Thanatoio.
