Gio’s parting message was far more cryptic. “Keep Mephi close,” he said. “You’ll need him.” I studied his face. As far as they knew, Mephi was merely a beloved pet. Gio knew more, though I didn’t know how.
I feel like he was the one who used magic to dispose of that soilder and just said it was Jovis. I think he knows what Mephi is. And I wouldn't be surprised if he had some connection to the Alanga? Or whatever they're called.
