"Shima?" Alethia's voice called out softly. She held her children close, looking around for her second husband. Talia was starting to tremble again. The heavens were no place for a mortal, especially not after her ordeal.

Shima stepped into view. "I am here Alethia. What can I do for you..?"

"The pantheon is lost," she announces softly. "Omnium bade us to stay here, with you, so we might flee quickly if it becomes necessary." ~And can you send Talia back home? I think she's going to go into shock if she's here much longer.~

Shima nods in a solemn manner. "I know...it will not be easy to take it back.." ~And of course dear..I will get ready to send her home.~

Alethia lets Shima get busy and strokes her daughters' hair. "Don't worry, Talia, we're sending you back home."
"I sort of wish this was all a bad dream," the mortal whimpered. Diana tilted her head, contemplating.
"I can't do it right now, little sister, but someday I'll come take the memory of all that happened today from you if you wish," she told her. Talia gulped and nodded.

Shima begins to mentally activate the controls for the gate. "The gateway is about ready. Dont worry Talia, things will get better."

Talia nodded. A part of her wanted to ask if everything would be okay up here, but most of her just didn't want to know. She looked at the gate in abject fear but stiffly walked towards it.

Once Talia went through and was sent home, Shima turns to Alethia. "Now what are we supposed to do about the demons..?"

"I'm not sure," Alethia answered miserably. "Omnium seems to have some plan, but he won't share it with us. He just told us to go to safety." She exhaled slowly. "That man..."
"Daddy is entitled to his secrets," Diana remarked archly. Alethia just muttered.
"Do you have room for us? And for Laura, Severance, Halo, and Solar?" she asked.

Shima doesnt respond for a moment before nodding. "Yes. I believe I do."

"Good," she sighed in relief. "My sister and her family will be a bit in returning yet, so could you please show my children to their room?"
Diana simply took Daniel's hand and sighed softly, unbelieving in all that is happening.

Daniel squeezes Diana's hand, hardly able to believe it himself.
Shima nods. "Of course. This way." Shima guides Daniel and Diana to there rooms.

Alethia takes a seat, alone again with her divine children being escorted away. She shut her eyes and slipped into a half-aware state of meditation as she meticulously sorted through her mental processes, calming frayed nerves and the like, as she waited for Shima to return. She had to keep her calm during this crisis.

A short time later, Shima approached Alethia. "Dear..?"

Alethia's eyelids fluttered faintly as she rose out of her trance, feeling all the more refreshed mentally for it. "Come sit," she bade Shima, moving aside on the couch she'd sunk onto. "We have much to talk about, and plan."
