Josh took a deep breath. After helping with the sinking of Danu Tails, Josh stayed there. He had died there. Dee had killed him with a stab in the chest. Joan had told him Scathach had wrapped him in a large blanket of cloth. She called it 'The Shroud'. After Sophie had given it some power, he came sputtering back to life. Latter he found she had done to good of a job as when he was stabbed by Dee once more, he was alive. He was immortal. He killed Dee.

It surprised him how calm he was as he walked away from his sister. His sister. Sophie. She had a breakdown at the lay gate. Josh told her she would see him sooner then she thought. Because he planed to be there in San Francisco to help when the monsters came. Telling William to take the swords he left without one other look back. Fleeing with the other Elders who wanted to live in the humani shadowrealm Josh chose to blend in. He would be an enviable hand to guide his ancestors when needed. He did not want to become a God that wasn't.

Josh realized it would be hard, and long. But when he sees Sophie again, he will be ready. Only physically. Emotionally, he would be a wreck.
