Looking at those two paragraphs together, it may be that Kiera has a 
serious function in being Sethra's home away from home.    Maybe Sethra 
couldn't leave Dzur Mountain, but Kiera was already in storage somewhere 
far away.   Sethra goes to sleep, and Kiera wakes up.    That would be a 
useful thing for a Wizard to be able to do.
