"I don't think Savitar was thinking with his head on straight." Grace said and she and Otto stood before Ash, Dara tucked securely in Grace's arms.
Ash nodded. "Seeing as I can't go down there without ending the world, yeah he wasn't thinking at all. Tory can you take them?"
Tory shook her head at her husband. "You know I have class today, but I know someone who can take her and be very welcomed" Ash gave her a funny look. "Simi"
Grace laughed as Ash's face turned to understanding.
"Simi, human form." Ash said.
The dragon pulled off his forearm and swirled into her human form. The demon stretched as the last of the mist vanished.
"What you want akri? The Simi was sleeping, which believe you demon, is not comfortable on your hard skin. Grow some flab like this one over here." Simi said pinching Otto's stomach.
Otto pushed the demon away. "Let's keep our hands to ourselves, demon."
"Let's keep our tempers in check, Fido." Ash growled at him.
Otto rolled his eyes, but remained quiet. And living.
"Simi, can you take Grace and Dara to see Apollymi?" Ash asked.
Simi lit up. "Will akra- kitty be there too?" Ash shook his head. "Ah poo. If I do this will I get to eat the heifer goddess?" Ash and Tory both shook their heads. "Ah poo. Oh well. Come Grace, we go see Akra and make the nice man who brings the Simi yummy food happy again."
She looked off as if thinking.
"Simi, if you take Dara and I to see Apollymi, I will make sure you get plenty to eat." Grace said.
Simi's eyes lit up. "Well wait we waiting for? Let's go visit akra!"
Grace laughed as Simi flashed them to a black garden. There was a woman with white blonde hair and the same swirling silver eyes as Acheron. She was weeping.
"Akra, don't be sad. Akri loves you." Simi said.
The woman looked up and her tears were instantly gone.
"Who are you?" she asked looking at Grace and Dara.
Grace waved as Dara squirmed to get down.
"You may let the child play."
Grace set Dara down who instantly walked over to Apollymi and grinned up at her.
"Don't be sad." she said.
Apollymi looked at Grace for permission to pick the baby up. Grace smiled and nodded, watching as Apollymi picked her daughter up and set her on her lap.
"I'm Grace, that's Dara. We are friends of Acheron and Tory."
"Apostolos?"
Simi nodded. "Akri thinks of them as family. Savitar does too."
Apollymi looked down at the child. "You are the woman who has stolen Savitar's heart? And this is the child he thinks as his?"
Grace nodded. "We thought meeting you would make you open up more to Apostolos. I know the hostility between you and Savitar and I wanted you to meet the little girl who you were helping. If not for Savitar, do it for her. Please."
Apollymi looked at the child who smiled at her. "Stryker hasn't decided on a plan yet, but he wants Dara for her powers. He thinks she will be able to take down Apostolos, which she won't. Sorry to say, your little girl has powers, but not enough for that."
Grace nodded.
"Thank you," she whispered.
Apollymi stood, Dara cradled in her arms. "You and Savitar are right. She is precious and I know what it is like to fear losing your child. I know the trouble Savitar and Apostolos have gone to in order to protect her. It was nothing short of what I did, for that, I offer you my service."
Grace traded a warm smile with Apollymi. As the little girl was handed over to her mother the doors burst open revealing Stryker and his merry band of idiots.
"Simi, get them back to safety." Apollymi ordered.
"I stay and fight for akri's momma. Simi said.
Apollymi flashed all three back to Acheron's house.
"What happened?" Ash asked.
Simi and Grace looked at him.
"Stryker tried to attack while we were down there." Grace explained.
"Simi, return to me." Ash said.
Simi grumbled, but returned to her tattoo dragon form on his forearm. As Grace and Dara stood by Ash, a figure flashed in. Stryker stood sneering at the two.
