There were only three teams of Exterminators, but that was enough. Not to be there for every threat, but to be there for their aftermath.
To follow in the tracks of the perpetrators and destroy them.
Cael stopped being the mentor, or even the leader of the Extermination Group, but he also responded to threats. He was a one-man-team, after all. Too much of an asset to keep away.

With all the hunts, all the days spent flying or fighting, Cael sometimes forgot that the life happened around him.
His reminders were invitations to family events. First, Vittorio's wedding with Nici. Then, only a month after, news that he had a little sister now, named Dolcezza.
Cael half-expected to hear news about Vittorio becoming a father, too, but that didn't happen. For the same reason for which Cael and Ginevra silently agreed to keep using contraceptive potions.
A cold war they were fighting wasn't a place for a child. An open war was even less so.
