Jack's Long-Awaited Return

Before saying anything else, Jack patted Lina on the head as he stepped up to his wives. He threw his arms around them let loose a long sigh of relief. "I'm back…"

All three of his wives hugged him as well. Eliza embraced him eagerly. Maura happily rested her head on Jack's shoulder. Daliea hid her blushing face against Jack's back. They were glad to see that Jack managed to get through such a perilous place without too much trouble.

"I informed everyone of your return the moment you showed up in Churstin," mentioned Eedaj. "They were just as shocked as we were to learn of your ascension, though I didn't mention your fight with Halmut. I thought--"

"You what?!"

SLAP!

Jack nervously chuckled, rubbing his cheek as he turned to face Eliza. "I can--"

"What were you thinking?!" shouted Eliza, instantly fuming mad. "You may be a god now but that doesn't mean you can fight Halmut! Why are you so stupid sometimes?!"
