Omi and Nagi followed the woman through what seemed to be long hallways and corridors as electricity sparked and sizzled all around them.

 

“You may drop the shields, Omi. I am perfectly capable of protecting the three of you,” she said.

 

Omi glanced at Nagi warily. Nagi shrugged as best he could while holding Ghost. Omi slowly released the shields around them and breathed a sigh of relief when no spark came near them.

 

The woman smiled over her shoulder and beckoned them to follow her further into the dark.

 

 

 

Bricru grinned evilly as he felt both Star and Schuldig wince.

 

“Damage done, Princess,” he said, smiling at Blaze.

 

“Mom, Dad, get him out of my sight before I piss off the rulers of the underworlds and really send the writhing pieces to the great god,” Blaze growled.

 

Blaze's father smiled at her and nodded to his sons. “Make sure he gets to where he needs to go, boys.”

 

“Sure thing, Dad,” Fen said tightening his hold on Bricru's neck. “Come on brother of mine, you can keep me company.”

 

“Yes, the road to madness is laced with a brother,” Jormund said, rolling his eyes.

 

“Gotta keep you on your toes, uh, coils,” Fen said and with that he, Jormund and Bricru disappeared.

 

Blaze seemed to sag in her father's grasp for a moment before she bolstered herself.

 

“Easy, baby,” he said steadying her. “You have other people who want to hold on to you right now.”

 

Blaze nodded and turned to her husbands. Tatsumi met her halfway, Watari making it to her a bit more slowly.

 

“I'll ruin your tux,” she said as Tatsumi wrapped both arms around her tightly. “I'm covered in blood.”

 

“As long as it isn't yours, I don't care,” Tatsumi said.

 

Blaze put her head on Tatsumi's chest for a moment, then looked up at Watari who was standing a few feet away from them.

 

“Honey,” she said, reaching out and taking his hand. “I will not tire of you. Not in a million centuries.”

 

“I second that,” Tatsumi said, taking his other hand and pulling him to them.

 

“Much as I hate to break up this tender moment,” Morrigan drawled. “I'm leaving to make certain the war starter was returned to the depths. Edana, I expect you and your family home for Samhain.”

 

Blaze blinked at her, mildly shocked by the statement. “I have no reason to be at my former home, Mother,” Blaze said, holding on to Tatsumi and Watari more firmly. “For Samhain or any other reason.”

 

Morrigan's eyes narrowed menacingly. “You will be home for Samhain, Edana. You will bring your entire family. The ones who are here with you, the ones who will arrive shortly, along with your grandson and his mate. No arguments, no excuses. I will come and retrieve them and you if necessary,” she said, staring down everyone in the room. Most cowered slightly or glanced away. Farfarello only grinned and saluted the war goddess.

 

“Good,” Morrigan said. Then with a last hard look at Blaze she vanished.

 

Blaze turned a puzzled expression to her father. “Daddy? What's going on?”

 

He shrugged. “No idea. Even I'm not crazy enough to argue with her.”

 

“Point taken.”

 

“Gran,” Star said, walking over to Blaze. “Hate to tell you this, but we have bigger concerns than a scary war goddess wanting all of us to be at your ancestral home.”

 

 

“Where are we going?” Omi asked the back of the woman's head.

 

She turned slightly. “We are taking Rhiannon to a safer place to be healed.”

 

“I think Skye has her hands full working on Crawford,” Nagi said, shifting Ghost in his arms.

 

“Nagi, I can carry her if you're tired,” Omi said.

 

“No. I've got her. Thanks though,” Nagi said. “I'll let you know if she gets too heavy.”

 

“That is a mute point just now,” the woman said as the darkness gave way to the muted light of the club.

 

“Gwynedd?” Farf said, upon seeing the woman with Nagi, Omi and Ghost.

 

“Jeirn? Gods, you look different,” she said, moving to embrace him.

 

“And you don't,” he said, laughing.

 

“I should hope not,” she said, then nodded to the three youngest.

 

“What happened?” he asked taking Ghost from Nagi's arms. Nagi and Omi looked at him oddly. “I was trained as a healer, you know,” Farf said mildly.

 

“Electrical shock,” Omi said grimly. “We weren't prepared for it and it caught her in the back.”

 

“Hmmm,” Farf said, settling Ghost on the floor next to the bar.

 

“Do you need my help?” Skye asked, looking up from Crawford.

 

“No. Its okay, Skye. She doesn't feel like she's in any real danger. The charge just seems to have knocked her out good and proper. I can't feel anything broken and there isn't internal bleeding, boys,” he said, directing the last comment to Omi and Nagi. Both boys sighed in relief.

 

Farf tilted his head slightly to study the woman who was all but hovering over him and Ghost by that point. Looking from her to Ghost he made several connections at once.

 

“Yours?” he questioned.

 

She nodded.

 

“I take it this is the missing one.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Interesting. You'll have to explain all of this. Its been, what? Two thousand years?”

 

“Something like that.”

 

All conversations were brought up short by Blaze's “WHAT?!?!” echoing through the room.
