Seven months after Admiral Hackett joined the rank of the immortals
Artira and her parents went to earth to deal with the accusations that were against her but in the end it still ended with her ship being dry docked and she being turned into a normal civilian but at her parent's request she was returned to her home in New York (Mount Olympus) and was allowed visits from all her friends when needed or desired however she still had the possibility to be reinstated one day. But at this moment Artira couldn't have been more relieved she wanted to spend all the time she could with her family and her Husband Thane and decided that now was indeed the perfect time to do so. Artira knew that soon she would need to go and at least give a pretense of helping the people try to prepare to fight off the Reaper invasion So as to give the Olympians a chance to get a majority of the other races to the Safety of Mount Olympus as it was Apollo and Percy had already gone to the Batarian home world and retrieved as many Batarians from that place as would fit on Apollo's sun chariot which was just about all of them only a few were left behind to follow in their own starships. A few weeks later Artira's presence was requested back on Earth so after many days she went to Vancouver, in British Columbia and settled there for a while but she did not go alone Ares the god of War and several of his soldiers accompanied Artira as did Apollo and many of his children for they knew that the enemy was close to arriving soon so they were getting themselves ready.
Ares' Pov
While Artira was resting in her small apartment I ran into Admiral Anderson who had for now left being a counselor and spoke to him and soon learned that this new hearing was to manage to get Artira reinstated. I told Anderson that all of the armies of Olympus were ready to help defend earth from the reapers or any other enemy that might come in the mean time and to help evacuate any and all humans from earth Anderson looked at me a little confused and inquired, " And how exactly will that help us?" I smiled as I replied saying, "first of all getting the humans and all the other alien races out of the path of the reapers will help you because the reapers can not attack Mount Olympus for while we are part of the universe we are still also separate for Olympus is in a parallel dimension which is why we are located on the six hundredth floor of the empire state building everyone knows that the empire state building only has 150 floors so the 600drth floor passes through into our dimension"
Anderson smiled but then inquired further saying, " and you are sure there is enough room in that dimension to fit all the Drell, Hanar, Turian, Krogan, Salarian, Asari, Batarian, Quarian, Geth, and human populace that you intend to bring there?" I smiled and replied saying, "Of course our current population only takes up about 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000th (and for those who are not familiar with big numbers like that, that number's a Quattuordecillionth which is to date the highest number I know of). We have more than enough space to harbor more than all the races you have already mentioned the only humans we will leave on this planet for the Reapers will be the Illusive man and his ilk." Anderson smiled as he inquired saying, "So the Illusive man and the rest of Cerberus will be the only people left behind?" I smiled and stated, " Only the ones who have not left Cerberus. The ones who have will be captured and brought to Olympus."
Admiral Anderson's Pov
I smiled after my talk with Ares and knew that many humans were going to start being evacuated before the defense committee convened or anything else happened since the Olympians were certain that the Reapers were going to try to make an attack soon but exactly when was not yet known so I just allowed Ares to continue his travels. From the distance I could already see Apollo loading humans into his sun train by the dozens most of the people were civilians who needed to be taken away from here before any danger struck
As I continued to take in the sight of Apollo loading civilians up to take them to Olympus I got news from the defense committee that they wanted to see me and Artira Shepard as soon as possible. So I sent James Vega to retrieve Artira from her apartment and then I go to prepare myself for the meeting. I then notice that Apollo and his sons have left Vancouver and I suppose that after gathering all the civilians from around the world had left to return to Olympus.
Artira's Pov
During the many months I had been on Olympus following my final adventure which ended with the destruction of the Viper Nebula and the "supposed" obliteration of all the Batarians who lived there. I had lived with my Husband Thane and given birth to our first child a beautiful baby girl we chose for her a name that in the language of Ancient Greece means rich and exotic. Adrianna she in many ways she looks almost exactly like me but she had some tell tale features that connect her to her father she had his skin but she had my hair which is like my mother's blonde she also had his dual eyelids her hands closely resembled her father's but her nose and several other features resemble me closely her eyes were the same color as mine which are a mixture of my mothers storm grey eyes and my father sea green eyes depending on the light in a particular room or what I was wearing my eyes either looked storm gray or sea green, Her eyes were exactly the same in color.
I love her dearly and so when I came to earth, I brought her with me and no doubt I will take her with me wherever I go.
But while I wait to be called for I spend my time caring for my little girl and thinking of her father who chose to stay on Olympus and possibly learn how to fight from Athena on the off chance that despite the fact that we are bringing every different race that is known to us to live on Olympus that we might end up having to do some kind of mock battle to distract these fool machines long enough to enable Apollo to gather everyone to his sun charter bus and make it home to Olympus. I hold on to all my hope that we can destroy the reapers that Kronos built by simply taking away their purpose for that would be a thrilling endeavor. But mean while I still sit in my apartment and care for little Adrianna and as I put her down for her nap I sing her a Grecian lullaby that my mother had sung to me during the month she and my father had me before they sent me to my foster family on Mindoir and for those who are reading this account who do not know ancient Greek I will copy down the lullaby in English
Lay down your head, and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo li lai lay
and I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love, for the road that you'll go
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo li loo li lai lay
May you bring love, and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for awhile and sing loo li lai lay.
As I finished the lullaby and settle my daughter down to sleep and then pick up my data pad after looking out my window for a little while I hear my door open and look up to see a man I only briefly met named James Vega is standing there as I looked at him he saluted me and called me by a title I had not heard for many, many months and didn't exactly relish hearing again he called me Commander. I gently admonished him telling him that he was not supposed to call me that. He then replied saying "that he was not supposed to salute me either." and I just smiled and asked him what was up as I was picking up my sleeping child putting her in the little baby pouch I wore whenever I need to carry her from one place to another. James then told me that the defense committee wanted to speak with me. I threw my data pad on the bed and followed him it was then that I first began to suspect that the reapers were likely to be making their move.
When we met up with Admiral Anderson we continued our fevered walking while Anderson and I made a little small talk as we continued to talk we ran into Ashley Williams of course we exchanged some pleasantries and she took notice of my darling little girl and wondered if it was appropriate to bring my daughter in to meet with the defense committee I smiled and told her that wherever I go so goes my daughter all the way and when we finally got to where the committee were convening my secret fears were indeed confirmed the Reapers had come in fact they were attacking earth I knew I had to get them down to where Apollo and Ares were and so I told them that if we had any hope of fighting these mechanical menaces they would have to get out of the building quickly and meet up with some of my kin who were helping to evacuate people to a good distance so we could mount a devastating counter attack. And what I said worked the entire committee left their seats and made their way quickly away from where they had been sitting and out the door and no doubt many of them made it to Apollo's Sun train and got a way to Olympus.
Anderson and I and my baby didn't make it out of the room before the reapers' laser blasted through the window but being who we are all three of us survived and began to fight our way to make it to the Normandy we got stuck battling a who horde of husks and creatures that looked like really deformed Batarians probably made from what few Batarians we had been unfortunate enough to loose sight of Apollo and got them selves lost. But it wasn't too long before the Normandy came and picked us up I hoisted myself up on to the ship with my little precious child who being like me immortal was still alive and well if not a little frightened.
I then turned to help Anderson up but he told me he was intending to stay on earth for awhile I told him he was crazy for I knew his father Dionysus was waiting to see him again. He reminded me of the two men we had met who had been hurt and frightened by the Reapers and told me that there were many more just like them and that they needed a leader. And I told him then let Ares be that leader he is still on earth searching for Soldiers and I then reminded him we were in this fight together. Anderson then looked at me and told me it was a fight we couldn't win without help even if our real plan was to pull all our alien friends into the Olympian dimension with us we would still need their help too.
He then told me to go to the Citadel and speak to the counselors and tell them what had happened and ask for their help. I looked at him and told him that I didn't take orders from him anymore he then tossed me my dog tags and told me to consider myself reinstated he then spoke in an authoritative tone as he called me by my title Commander. I smiled gratefully and told him to stay with Ares and help him to gather the rest of the humans into the Olympian army and then fall back to Olympus with him and Apollo for this time would more then likely not be the time to fight the enemy,
but to get all of us to safety until we could finally make a truly devastating counter attack. He smiled and told me that he would follow my friendly suggestion. With that I walked into the interior of the Normandy where I told James and Ashley what Anderson's orders had been.
To say they were less than thrilled would be an understatement but since I was now the commanding officer on the Normandy they fell in line. Our first stop however was back to Olympus to let my family know and to pick up some supplies and some of my family who would be coming with us.
We arrived at the docking port in Hephaestus' forges as we usually did and Hephaestus decided that while we were there he would do some of his own repairs to our ship I lead James and Ashley through Olympus where I retrieved a newly build cradle for Adrianna and some things I would need for my little girl while we traveled I also bought a terrific store of food and drink for aboard the Normandy. My husband Thane was all packed and ready to go as was Lady Artemis, Zoe Nightshade, and of course my father and Mother.
Percy's POV
When I learned that my Daughter had been reinstated I was thrilled but I was also determined to go with Artira so that her daughter would be able to be kept safe while on this journey we knew we had to make at least a pretense of fighting this war if only to give Apollo the time he needed to gather as many people and Aliens as he could to Olympus so as we boarded the Normandy and we heard Artira speaking to admiral Hackett and him requesting that Artira go to mars to find check out some things that were occurring there we knew it was time to put our plan into full mobilization.
All the humans who were on earth including Dionysus' own son Admiral Anderson had already been brought back to Olympus to begin preparing for a counter attack. I am more than aware that even if we succeed in getting all the humans and alien races here to Olympus which would pretty much take the reapers reason for existing away that we would still have to do battle with them because all of us know that Kronos who Created the Reapers will never give up and will always try to find away to scare us, to harm us but we need not give that any thought for the moment for once everyone is granted Immortality there will be no way for the reapers to win. The reapers will fall it is their destiny… Ha, ha, ha I kill me.
Annabeth's Pov
I can't believe that Percy doesn't grasp the seriousness of this whole affair after all we are not gathering all these people to Olympus and turning them Immortal just to avoid a war with the reapers but to enable us a whole lot more time to prepare for this war Apollo is already collecting all the Hanar and Drell from Kahje to deliver them to Mount Olympus where Zeus would grant them Immortality and then put those who desired to help us in the eventual fight into either Athena's or Ares' armies and let the rest choose their own paths.
Apollo is also heading to the Turian home planet of Palaven along with Iris the goddess of the Rainbow to evacuate many of the Turians for the same reason and leaving only a handful so that one can be chosen to help negotiate a means to Cure the Genophage and then after the cure is administered the Krogan and Salarians will be evacuated along with all other humans and other races so as to provide a large number of soldiers and other for the fight against the reapers.
But the reason we are all heading to Mars is to gather what information we can from the Prothean ruins there in. plus it is rumored that Liara who just happens to be partly a child of Artemis just like Theseus who was the son of Poseidon and still the child of the king of Athens the same goes for Liara Matriarch Aethyta had as much to do with Liara being born to Benezia as Artemis did for Benezia had done what Theseus' mother had done and managed to bond with both of them in one day spaced only a few seconds a part which is how Liara had come to be born and she gained much from her dual parentage she gained Artemis' cunning and cleverness and possibly whatever personality traits Aethyta had to add.
When we arrived on Mars, Artira, and Ashley Williams and James Vega lead us up to the research facility where a horrifying shock awaited us. Cerberus had arrived there before us and were killing the researchers well to say my blood began to boil would be more than a major understatement but I kept my temper but that doesn't mean I didn't slit a few throats but isn't that what you would have done? Well once we were inside we happened to run into Liara then came a part that turned an already bad situation into almost a complete and total disaster Zoe Nightshade who never could keep her mouth shut walks over to Liara and tells her that she is a half-blood Liara was more than alittle shocked I interjected by saying that we would explain it all to her in due time but for now we should while we have a breathing space from fighting Cerberus imbeciles discuss why we had come and she could tell us what she had discovered while we were here.
Liara then told us that she had found a blueprint of a Prothean device that might be capable of stopping the reapers we sent James back to the shuttle so that on the Off chance Cerberus beat us to the Archives where we could find the blue print that he would be able to stop them from getting away. As it was it turned out a good idea that we sent James to guard the exit Cerberus had managed to beat us to the Archives and had had uploaded much of the blue prints on to their synthetic Robot Eva before we got there however we recovered her and the blue print after James Vega pulled a very dangerous stunt and flew our shuttle into Cerberus' Shuttle well at least no one was hurt in the crash. But Ashley got into a fight with the Synthetic and was badly injured in the fight but at least we were already heading to the Citadel to present our case to the Counsel anyway so we figured we would drop Ashley at the hospital while we were there.
I suppose I should have mentioned this anyway but Kaiden didn't die back on Virmire his father Apollo managed to get there quickly and got him into the sun chariot with barely seconds to spare back during the time of Artira's battle with Sovereign. So Kaiden is busy with his own life on Olympus happily married to Thalia grace Zeus' darling little girl who had chosen to take her place among the lesser deities and Kaiden has taken his place beside her, as her immortal husband and a minor deity himself he and Thalia are already expecting their first baby.
I know it is odd that Artira is already a mother and her friend Thalia who married Kaiden is only just now expecting but Kaiden and Thalia only got married a few months ago Kaiden got married to Thalia only four months ago while Artira was still on Mount Olympus where as Artira got married to Thane before they even went to the Collector base and the baby was already developing when she dealt with the alpha relay.
Percy's Pov
As we arrive on the citadel Ashley is taken to the hospital there for treatment and Artira, Liara, Artemis, Zoe, Annabeth, and I go to speak with the counsel my job is to convince the Counsel to follow our battle plan which will turn the reapers who are the hunters at this moment into the prey, since all the races that they are now trying to destroy will soon be Immortal via the decision of the Olympian gods I figure it will be a success after all I have brought a fully detailed map of the Olympian dimension which shows how enormous the place is and how able it would be to house All the different races comfortably and peacefully.
As Artira and Liara told the counsel about the Prothean blue print and plans for "fighting the reapers" I waited patiently and quietly So my daughter could have her moment to shine. Finally when my daughter paused for breath and nodded in my direction which we had earlier established as my signal that she was done and I could speak. I looked at the Counselors and cool and confident air I laid out what was the biggest plan that would save all the races from the reapers and yet also give us a better chance at defeating them whenever we finally decided to attack them. It also was the reason I was so certain that we were going to succeed where the Protheans had failed. After I finished telling them the entire plan I noted the expressions on the counselors' faces my attention was primarily directed to the face of the Asari counselor she looked at me very intently almost like she was trying to stare me down. As she inquired of me saying, " Are you sure your family's plan will work Mr. Jackson?" I just smiled calmly back at her and replied saying, " Of course it will work Counselor Tevos it is already being set into motion. All the humans who were on earth have already been lifted from earth and taken to Olympus the reapers were too slow and what few civilians and military personnel that had yet to make it to Apollo's sun van will be getting picked up quite soon while Ares keeps the reapers busy with his taunting of them." Counselor Valern then looked at me and inquired saying, "And what about the races that are like the Turians and Quarians who can't eat the same foods as you immortals?" I smiled having been there when all of my daughters friends had joined the ranks of the Olympians I finally replied saying, " There is no problem for them after all not very long ago A Turian and a Quarian recently joined our ranks you three probably will know them when you hear their names, Tali Zora and Garrus Vakarian." The Turian Counselor looked at me in shock and soon made his own inquiry saying, " And they had no adverse effects of the substance that granted them immortality?"
I smiled again and once more replied, " No, none, for you see Ambrosia and Nectar do not fall under the categories of either Levo or Dextro but will grant immortality to both and once that immortality is granted then the immortals may eat the food of either and gain benefit. As was proved by Garrus' mother Iris His mother is the goddess of rainbows and one of the two messengers of the gods, Tali's own mother was not Quarian herself but for many years lived with Rael Zora as his wife Tali's mother is Aphrodite goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite has many children both Alien, and human. She also has a son her son is on the Normandy right at this moment. Namely Jeff "Joker" Moreau. I will tell you this though this is a big part of the plan my daughter Artira has to defeat the reapers first off by taking away their hope for victory thus demoralizing them then once we have finished that and with all the alien and human races having settled themselves on Olympus we will then begin our counter attack striking out and thus destroying the reapers once and for all.
Artira's POV
As I sat by and listened to my father speak to the counsel and tell them our entire plan to defeat the reapers I then felt I should add my voice So I spoke up finally saying, " Counselors we wouldn't expect you to take this offer on faith alone with out even allowing you to see what we are suggesting so if you would kindly board the Destiny Ascension and follow the Normandy we will show you what Olympus has to offer you."
Then Counselor Tevos looked at me and inquired saying, " are you sure that Olympus would welcome our folk?" I smiled and replied saying, "I am positive of it. So many have already been retrieved and brought there none as of yet from the Turian or Salarian of Asari planets yet for we wanted to give you the heads up first though the transports have already been sent to those places we wanted to get your go ahead before we started only a few people who like yourselves need to see where their new home will be have been taken there at this moment in time now as I said if your all will be so kind as to follow me and board the Destiny Ascension and then have your pilot follow the Normandy we will take a brief visit to Olympus and you can see how life there is lived and your can possibly help us map out an section that you feel will best accommodate all of your races that have not already been taken by the Reapers." I walked towards the Normandy and with my father, mother and all the others I had brought with me following me and behind them came Sparatus (the Turian Counselor), Tevos (the Asari Counselor) , and Valern (the Salarian Counselor), Udina (Humanities counselor) was left behind because something told me that we did not need him knowing about our plans. It was a short jump from the Serpent Nebula where the Citadel was, to the Wormhole that would take us to Olympus' dimension once all of us were through and the Normandy and Destiny Ascension had docked near Hephaestus' forges where Hephaestus could do some more work on the Normandy and see what if any repairs needed to be done to the Destiny Ascension I took on the role of Tour guide showing all three Counselors all the rarities of Olympus I showed them the throne room where my family makes all the decisions that affect life on Olympus then I showed them all the Palaces where all the Major gods and goddesses lived and then I showed them the Mansions which house the minor gods and goddesses.
I showed them where the all the drell that had been rescued and brought to Olympus around the same time as 375,000 other members of the Drell race had been rescued by the Hanar and taken to Kahje.
I told the Counselors that though Zeus and the rest of my family applauded the Hanar for their courteous and valiant rescue of as many Drell as they had rescued that my family for obvious reasons were able to rescue even more though sadly not enough to allow Rakhana to stabilize to where it would be able to sustain life again but still enough to enable the Drell to thrive and sustain a larger and just as prosperous life I then showed them the place where we had finally settled all the Batarians that had been rescued not only from Kar'shan but also the three hundred and five thousand Batarians that were rescued by Apollo from Aratoht. The Counselors all seemed very impressed I then told them that neither the Batarians nor the nine billion drell that now lived on Olympus were among the minor or major gods or goddesses for they didn't desire that life;
but they were still immortal and still very much part of our large extensive family the only two Drells that were granted a place among the Deities of Olympus were my husband Thane and his Son Kolyat who is engaged to my second cousin Jasmine Jackson the goddess of mysteries. I hadn't shown them where the Humans had been settled yet because they were the most recent additions and needed to adjust to their new surroundings a little which is easier to do when you don't have a whole bunch of people "spying on you"
So saying I finished the tour with a stop at Thane's and my home that my mother had built for us with the help of many Drell architects I showed them every inch of my home the Asari Counselor was shocked but I put her shock off by replying to her inquiries saying what my own mother had said telling Counselor Tevos that my home at this time was not as Elaborate as the others palaces on Olympus having only forty bedrooms and bathrooms, A Dining hall and a large living room and kitchen and was merely a honeymoon cottage really. At that All three Counselors looked at me as if I had just said that up was down. After that I went and put Adrianna down for her nap. And turned the counselors over to my mom to have mom show them the tracts of land where the Turians, Asari, and Salarians could Settle on Olympus and having done that I went to the room Thane and I shared and went to get some much needed sleep.
Annabeth's Pov
As we left my daughter's home I decided to address the three diverse races individually so that each counselor saw that we were taking into account the needs of all the species that we were taking in. I first took them to see where we were planning to place the Turians there were several large areas that would give the Turians ample room to thrive and even expand as time went on. One of the largest pieces of land was the size of the countries of China and India combined and that was the one I suggested for the Turians since it offered equality showing that all the citizens of Olympus were of equal importance in our eyes. The Turian Counselor seemed to approve of the place so it was decided that as soon as could be contrived The Turians would be moved from Palaven to Olympus granted immortality and then taken to this land
I repeated this process with the Asari and the Salarians and soon I had everything settled it would not be long before the Olympians had every race safely stowed on Olympus or at least that was my hope as I returned the Counselors to Artira's home where my daughter was already up and about getting a before dinner snack ready for her guests. She wanted to give the counselors a sample of Olympian faire before asking them to entrust their people and themselves to our ways of life and I could understand that after all how would they be sure that their people would be happy here if they didn't know what the food up here was like and to help her make them feel real comfortable here I made sure we had multiple types of food that were safe both for Dextro based life forms and for Levo based life forms and those types of foods grew abundantly on Olympus so soon a suitable snack for the Turian, Salarian, and Asari counselors was prepared by my daughter. And I left to begin the planning of what kind of housing would be suitable.
Artira's Pov
The visit went well and after I dropped the three counselors back at the Citadel I followed Apollo and headed for Palaven Apollo began gathering the civilians and soldiers that were still on the planet's surface and I went to Menae, Palaven's largest moon to gather the Turian Primarch to help hopefully to make peace with the Krogan so that we could soon gather them also to Olympus the former Turian Primarch was unfortunately killed by the reapers as he tried to leave the moon prematurely. But after much running around we found the new Primarch who was a Turian by the name of General Adrien Victus. And we brought him aboard the Normandy and Apollo gathered all the rest of the Turians from the moon since he had already finished gathering all of them from the planet's surface. The Turians that were aboard Apollo's chariot were take to Olympus and Victus and Garrus came with me aboard the Normandy.
It was not too long after that when Victus, and I attending the summit with Krogan clan chief Urdnot Wrex and Salarian Dalatrass Linron. I swear if there was ever truly a Salarian that I could rightly say I hated it would be her. I swear she is about the only Salarian I would not be sorry to leave to the mercy of the Reapers. but such is not my choice to make it didn't take long for us to retrieve the only surviving female Krogan from the Salarian home world of Sur' kesh and with her we retrieved Mordin the currently only immortal Salarian it was then determined that using that Data we would finally cure the Genophage using the Data we had saved from Tuchanka which had originally been constructed by Mordin's Student Maelon but and synthesize it from the tissue of both the female Krogan who Mordin dubbed Eve, and the only male Krogan we had on the ship at the time Namely Wrex himself but that soon led us to a hard choice of once the cure was ready how to distributed it to all the Krogan Mordin went through every option he could concoct in his fast working Salarian brain including what he called the Shroud which had at one time been a gift from the Salarians to help repair the Atmosphere of Tuchanka and had then been used by the Turians to release the Genophage he figured that would be our best option and while I liked the idea my uncle Apollo pointed out there were far to many unknowns in that solution there might have been things that the original Salarians who probably really believed that the Krogan should suffer with the Genophage forever did to make that relatively impossible we then asked my Uncle Apollo what he thought we should do to get the cure to all of the Krogan.
Apollo just smiled as he replied with an idea that would probably verge on inspired he suggested that since the Krogan were going to be brought to Olympus and granted Immortality and land large enough to accommodate their ever growing population that perhaps Mordin and him should work on find a way to mix the cure for the Genophage in to the mixture of Nectar and Ambrosia that would then be given to all the Krogan and then administer it to them that way. Mordin thought of the idea and decided it might be a good idea to try it that way but suggested that we at least chase the reapers off Tuchanka all the same since it would be required to enable us to acquire all the Krogans from the planet. To which Apollo readily agreed and with that established Apollo and Mordin went off to work on creating a fully functional cure for the Genophage.
.
It didn't take long for Apollo and Mordin to get the cure Created and soon after it was created Apollo
Rescued everyone from Grissom Academy, defused a bomb that had been planted on Tuchanka back at the end of the Krogan rebellions, he also managed to save Primarch Victus' son, and soon had gathered up the Krogan population and we all headed back to Olympus where the Krogan were granted Immortality and had the Genophage cured.
Apollo then went out and acquired all the Salarians from Sur' Kesh and all the Salarian colony worlds and also retrieve humans from all the remaining human worlds. I believed we had all earned a well deserved rest before we went back to our plans so we soon got home to Olympus and stayed there a while to rest our weary bodies from journeying for we knew the hardest part of the journey was yet before us.
But for now sleep was a head and some less turmoil filled days as we celebrate my cousin's complete recovery from the pit scorpion's bit and her wedding to Kolyat Krios son of my husband Thane. And then the three of them will accompany me and the rest of our family and friends to finish our journey to gather up the remaining people that needed retrieving.
