"How do I hold things now?" Lith whined as both of his hands were held hostage.

"That's what Spirit Magic is for, baby." Kamila chuckled.

The Gate brought them to the entrance of the Heavenly Plume Tribe since the Royals lacked a pass for direct access to the Overlord's Palace.

Salaark was already there, taking care of retrieving Shargein before leaving the Kingdom.

She had arranged a welcome ceremony and informed the rest of the family of the group's arrival. A long red carpet covered in flower petals went from the Gate to the palace and there was a small crowd waiting for them.

"Welcome back, son." Raaz gave Lith a quick hug and patted his back before passing him to Elina for the inspection.

"Thanks, Dad. It's nice to see you too." Lith conjured Trion from his Void Sigil to let him take part in the family reunion.

"Why is everyone so glum?" Elina patted Lith's arms and chest for injuries and then took his face in her hands to look for signs of malnutrition. "Based on what Salaark told us, the expedition was a success."

"It was, but a few things have happened that have ruined the trip for us." Lith nodded at Aran and Leria.

Elina understood that the matter had to wait until after bedtime and moved on to the Trion.

"Welcome back, son. How was Jiera?"

"It was… interesting. We have been welcomed by a tribe of merfolk." It was the only nice thing he could say about the trip without delving into the politics, the fights, and the diseases.

"Really?" Aran and Leria asked in unison, conjuring the holograms of the various depictions of the merfolk they had seen in different children's books until they found the right one. "Cool!"

"Yeah. They want to build a city here in the Desert so you might meet them soon." As the children burst into cheers, Elina performed her wellness check. "Mom, do you have to do this?"

"Do what?" She asked.

"Asking how I am and looking for wounds. You know that I'm dead. I lost my body years ago and now I'm bound to Lith. If he's fine then I'm fine. As simple as that." He tried to take her hands off his face, but Elina resisted and Trion was afraid of hurting her.

"Don't you ever say something like that again." She forced him to look her in the eyes. "You are my son and I'll always worry about you. Even though you have lost your body, you can still get hurt, feel the warmth of an embrace, and laugh with us.

"You are not dead, Trion. You are part of our lives and you are as important to me as any other of my children." They shared a long hug and then Elina greeted the others.

She noticed the distance, both emotional and physical, between Bodya and Tista but said nothing. After Solus and Kamila confirmed to Elina that the source of their distress was the same as Lith's, she could only smile and wait.

"How did your magic lessons go?" Lith asked the kids.

"They went great, Uncle."Leria puffed her chest out with pride. "We are the top of our class. I just don't get why the instructor refuses to teach us tier one magic. There's only so much we can do with chore magic."

Lith nodded, uncertain of what to do.
