Chaos

After arriving inside the Palace Grounds, where Seth’s wives were all waiting anxiously for their return, Seth barely materialized when a soft body collided with his, pushing even Leora from the side away and throwing him onto the ground.

Seth recognized who that body belonged to immediately. Still, he didn’t get to say anything before his body dematerialized into the warm embrace, leaving Maya holding onto a handful of crumbling sources.

Maya’s face fell, and she froze in place, her face the definition of regret, until Leora rose and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Seth’s fine. His sources are all spent and damaged, while his soul took quite a few hits, but he’ll recover with time.”

“Can you tell us what happened, Leora?” asked Aleena, coming to sit next to the two. “Maya told us a bit, but we don’t know what happened after you two went to face the gods.”
