Hours or days past when Zef lie there sad and lonely and aching from too many things. There was no child in her arms. There was nothing to comfort the loss. There was only herself to blame for this -- or more likely Jaxen.
"Do not blame the father -- it was destined to be." A voice echoed in the black marble room where Zef lay on the floor pulling herself up to sit and back down. It was time to become a fighter again.
"Whatever." Zef said ignoring the creature. She was ready to leave this vile place.
There was a swooning of the thing that was now beside her as it embraced her anger with in itself. They were odd things. Feeding on their emotions.
"Return home. Be with child. Take the gift in exchange." The creature held out two spider like gems in a silver setting. "Control the gods and prepare for your sons return." The creature put the items in Zef's hands. A portal opened in the middle of the room. "Days have passed the other side. Find peace in that."
Zef looked through to see unfamiliar visage through the portal. "Where is that?"
"Home. Go home, mother of the destroyer. Go home in the knowledge your son shall destroy the last of the gods in his time. Go home."
Zef didn't get a chance to say anything before she was pushed by tens of hands towards the gate that pulsed with time. She didn't know where it was, but it didn't matter, the faint feeling of electricity passed over her skin as the creatures pushed her through and into the real world. The stench of an alley way permated her nose and Zef all but vomitted before catching herelf. She was in Moscow at least -- the very least she was home...
