OUTSKIRTS OF NEW ORLEANS -- THE TEMPLE OF THE ELDER GODS AND GODDESS

Early morning around 5:00 AM. The breeze of the gentle wind flows through the trees. A golden thunder bolt strikes down on the ground.

The Elder God, Cyrus, appears in his Elderly God form, which is ten-feet tall, and in his golden armor cape attire.

Cyrus slowly walks and uses his Elderly God powers to transform his golden armor cape attire into some casual clothes and to change his height to a normal average height of a man.

Cyrus looks up at his best friend and brother-like figure, Ames, who is at the balcony railing atop of the building.

Ames is wearing casual clothes, looking out at the river.

Cyrus gently walks up the stairs and onto the floor of the rooftop building.

Cyrus slowly walks up next to him. "Ames?"

Ames glances at Cyrus. "Hello Cyrus."

"Are you gonna watch the sun come up?" Cyrus asked.

"It is a beautiful sunrise." said Ames.

Ames and Cyrus exchange chuckles with each other.

"How's Christiana?" Cyrus asked, concerned about his niece.

"Recovery still." Ames told him. "I asked Nurse Giannis to check on her."

"That's good." Cyrus said.

Ames and Cyrus exchange small smiles at each other and takes a stroll.

"So, why did you really come here, Ames? You're worried about something." Cyrus said.

Cyrus and Ames stopped their stroll and exchange looks at each other.

"I'm concerned that our enemies are upon us." Ames said.

"We remain undefeated as always." Cyrus said.

"Of course we are." Ames said.

"But you're mostly worried about Christiana and she might overexert herself." Cyrus pointed out Ames's worries. "She's strong and she'll get through it."

"I know she will." Ames said.

"Come along, Ames. We have things to discuss." Cyrus said.

"Of course." Ames said.

The best friends and brother-like, Ames and Cyrus, creates a portal and walks through it, with the portal closes.

"I will be with Callahan and Keelin in The Bayou, making goodie bags with candy and other neat things." Ana said.

"And I will be with Marcel." Josh said.

"Alright then, everything's good." Vincent said.

"The question is will Christy be there at the upcoming parade in the French Quarter?" Freya asked.

They exchange looks at each other.

"How long has it been since Christy has been away?" Vincent asked.

"Eight weeks." Ana replied. "But relax, you guys, she'll be here if she doesn't have any Mount Orasani business to do."

"Yeah, but at the last minute, something comes up at Mount Orasani." Josh said.

"Josh?" Ana said.

"What? I'm just saying, Ana." Josh said. "Look, you guys, we all love Christy. She's awesome."

"Yeah, she is. And when she's done with her business at Mount Orasani, she'll come back home." Ana said.

"Do I have to wear this armband monitor, Giannis?" Christy asked.

"The armband monitor monitors your vitals. And according to your parents, they want you to get better and to recover." Nurse Giannis said.

"I get it." Christy said.

Nurse Giannis and Christy exchange small smiles at each other and Giannis walks over to her hologram computer.

"Giannis?" Christy said.

Majordomo Theseus is on the wrist comm screen.

"Theseus?" Christy said, as she slowly walks in the pillar hallway.

"Milady Christiana? Your father is requesting your presence in the conference room." Theseus said on the wrist comm screen.

"Okay, I'm on my way." Christy said.

"Well, well, the Legendary Famer graces us with her presence." Ames said, playful teasing his daughter with a small playful chuckle.

Everyone playfully chuckles and Christy playfully chuckles herself as she walks behind her father.

"Thanks for the playful tease, Dad." Christy said, and pecks a kiss on her Dad's right cheek.

"Love you too, sweetheart." Ames said.

And Christy sits down next to Dementrio.

"Alright then, this meeting has started." Ames said. "Theseus? Report."

Theseus turns on the hologram computer generator, which shows the report.

"Everything is running smoothly as normal, Milord." Theseus said. "The Loyalists has increased our shareholders and our silos is progressing for harvesting."

As Theseus is giving his report, Christy looks at the hologram computer in front of her. She looks at each slide as she swipes to the right.

Christy takes a closer look at the harvesting silos and notices the generators, which are used to power up the silos, has a low power malfunction.

Christy looks at Dementrio and whispers to him. "What's with the low powered generators?"

"The generators has been malfunctioning." Dementrio whispered back to Christy.

"Is there a way to repair them because they've been malfunctioning and causing the harvesting silos to not work right?" Christy asked in a whisper.

"Milady Christiana? Do you have something to add?" Theseus asked.

Christy looks around at everyone and her Dad. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your report, Theseus. You can go on."

"We value your input, Christiana." Theseus said.

Christy looks around at everyone and her Dad again and looks at Theseus. "I was talking to Dementrio about the harvesting silos."

"Why do you asks about the harvesting silos?" Theseus asked.

"The harvesting silos has been powered up by using generators. The generators are low-powered and they could malfunction at any minute." Christy told.

"We can have a check." Ames said.

VEK'S AND BASSEA'S DOME APARTMENT

That evening, in the living room, Vek and Christy are sitting on the couch, admiring the ultrasound of Vek's and Bassea's unborn baby girl.

"She's beautiful." Christy complimented with a small smile. "You and Bassea are gonna be amazing parents."

"Yeah, we are." Vek said with a small smile. "When I met Bassea, she was bundled up and the other warrior elite trainees talked about her and even teased her for being a former thief. She already expected it and she didn't blame them for talking about her."

"But you didn't." Christy said.

"No, I didn't. Even when she expected me to, I never did." said Vek. "She even thought about dropping out and quitting, but I convinced her not to and we formed a friendship. She would talk about you with me during breakfast and lunch. We were trainee partners together. And I made sure that she kept up her scores."

"That's very nice of you, Vek. I'm glad she had you, looking out for her and having her back." Christy said.

"Yeah, I'm gonna asks her to marry me." Vek said, taking out an engagement ring from his pants pocket.

"Oh my gosh." Christy said with a happy smile. "Does she know?"

"Nope, but I'm gonna surprise her." Vek said.

"Hi, Bassea." Christy greeted her.

"Hey, Christiana." Bassea greeted her back. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing." Vek said.

But Bassea squints her eyes, suspiciously. "Vek? Christiana?"

"We were talking about the ultrasound picture of the little baby girl." Christy said.

Bassea smiles to herself. "Yeah."

"I'm gonna get dinner started." Vek said, getting up and walks away.

Christy gets up and slowly walks up to Bassea and gently puts her hand on her medium sized baby bump.

"Has she been slightly kicking?" Christy asked.

"A little, which is good." Bassea told her. "How are you by the way?"

"I'm okay, B." Christy reassured her with a small smile. "You know, Bassea, you don't need me anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Bassea asked, a bit confused.

"You don't need me anymore, Bassea, ever since I met you, you were lost and misguided. Now, look at you, you have a good life, a good relationship and a healthy unborn little baby. You don't need me anymore, but I will always be there for you and Vek whenever you need me." Christy said to her.

Bassea small smiles at Christy and gently hugs her and Christy hugs her back.

"I'll always be grateful for you, Christiana." Bassea said.

"I know, B." Christy said.

Christy and Bassea gently pulls away from the hug.

"I can't wait to see you ballet." Christy said.

"Me too." Bassea said.
