"Well perhaps you shouldn't have tried to kidnap my daughter," Athena retorted, "and then attempt to attack me." Athena would not have struck them if they hadn't sneaked up behind her and tried to make her suffer from delusions. The thing is, if you wanted someone to suffer from delusions, you had to make sure they didn't already have them. That was what Athena had been suffering from, an illness that tricked her mind into believing terrible things. Some days Athena couldn't even get out of bed. The memory and vision were the first things to go, as the illness attacked her brain, she would continue to deteriorate. Thanks to Sanaa, they had managed to reverse many of the effects, which was why Athena was standing before them, holding their ears. "Miiko," Athena beamed, seeing her daughter. "Mommy!" Miiko ran forward to receive her Mother's hug. "Rose, I'm glad you're okay," Athena gave Rose a pat on the head, one full of affection.
"I'll listen to you, if you call off your forces. I'm more reasonable than my husband," Athena took a step forward, wobbling. "Hang on Mommy!" Miiko closed her eyes, summoning up a chair with wheels. "Here, sit here," she eased the chair forward and tried to push, but Miiko was not strong enough. "Rose, can you push it?" Miiko looked up at her spirit with wide Bambi eyes. Athena sank into the chair gratefully, "thank you girls. I might have overdone it a little," Athena sighed, her two different colored eyes glistening in the light of the fire. Along the line of flames were what looked like ants working to put the fire out. They were in fact rebels dressed in black, carrying icy water from the ocean to stop the fire from spreading to the World Tree. If one of those flames so much as licked the base, they would all be doomed.
"That does sound like a good idea," Athena said as they rolled up behind them. "Daddy!" Miiko called to him, waving. Jace didn't waver, his gaze remaining on his opponent. "Put the swords down you two, before I make Miiko make them disappear for good." Athena threatened, leaning back in her seat. "Put yours down first," Jace growled to Varus, not trusting that snake. "Now, someone told me about a break out plot for our daughter." Jace stiffened, "you're not going to believe him, are you?" Miiko tensed up, but not with fear, excitement. "There's already a plan to break Stella out?" She squeaked, grabbing Rose's sleeve in excitement. "Miiko, go back up to the house, the adults have much discussing to do." Athena directed, her tone implying that they would be talking and not sword fighting.
It was only in that moment that Miiko realized how tired she was. "Judging by the position of the moon and the stars, it's 3 AM." Miiko rubbed her eyes, taking Rose's hand so that the two of them could return to the tree house. Gavin and Callum appeared, having been following them the entire time. "Ready to go up?" Gavin asked, opening up the door to the transport up the tree for them. "I am tired, my nightgown is all dirty though!" Miiko yawned, leaning her head on Rose's shoulder.
