2. 18 months laterâŠ
A year and half has passed for the members of generation eight, most of them have no
idea what their parents were doing before and some of the younger ones have no idea
who Xylen is. For the first time in generations, it looks like they will finally have some
peace.
Diamos and Perseus are still on Terrenon and have not sent any word yet to Lady Ani-
Mei about whether or not they have found Leiya or Xylen there, but she is not worried.
The great distance between Elvendia and Terrenon is bound to be a factor in his non-
communicative actions, that and the solar system that Terrenon is in, has been going
through some unusual solar activity; further hampering communications with them.
The legacy looks safe for the time beingâŠ
3. Eve, Ilea and Thanatosâ youngest grew into a
lovely little lady bringing with her some much
needed colour and happiness to the darkness
of the temple she lives in.

4. Minos and Seiya welcomed twin girls,
Varia and Velasca to their family. Their
oldest Endymion grew into a happy little
boy as well, looking to make plenty of
friends.
5. Eddie proved that my Loria Reed joined the
little issue with no more family and is as cute
alien babies was as a button.
officially overâŠ
6. Big brother and big sister Borias and Ephiny made sure she was welcomed into
the family the same way they all were; bonding over the kids table.

7. Evander, son of Ambrosia and Castor Nova was also making a new little sibling
welcome to the family; his baby sister Daphne was born shortly after Varia and
Velasca were. Ambrosia chose the name of one of their ancestors as a way to honour
all that they had to go through at the beginning of the Quest; and to remember
someone who meant a great deal to ReiasâŠ
8. In keeping pace with the growth spurts of generation eight, Alcmene, daughter of Bell
and Keiko, got to know more of her extended family and came home with Borias one day
after school.
9. Alcmene too was playing the role of big sister to her two younger twin siblings,
Autolycus and Lila, at home with Bell and Keiko.

10. While some remained happy, others had not forgotten the events of the last year and half so
easilyâŠ
Hex sat on top of the dormer of the house where he had been staying with Solan for the last year
and half, he kept going over the events of their battle in his head, wondering if that was really the
end of Xylenâs rampage. He was quite familiar with bad guys who take off for a while and suddenly
come back with a vengeance from his own world; Hex had to assume Xylen would be the same as
Ralph.
11. Solan: So there you are, I was wondering where you went. What are you doing up here?
Hex: Thinking; how do we really know for sure that Xylen is gone? He did run off last
time we encountered him.
Solan: We donât; not really. I mean we dealt him a serious blow last time but heâs hardly
one to give up so easily.
Hex: So youâre not concerned?
12. Solan: Of course I am; I know things only go smoothly for a while before they get messy again but
after what the legacy has already been through, Iâm not going to rob them of this peace. At least
until I have something to report to them.
Hex: I can understand the need to give them a break, more than anyone I know what it means to
them to have one, but I worry still you know? I understand that this legacy is not my
responsibility but itâs hard to let go of the Guardian instincts you know?
Solan: I appreciate your insights, itâs good to talk to someone other than my dad about
Guardianship responsibilities. Come, letâs get off this roof; itâs windy up here.
13. Solan: You know my parents are getting remarried soon, Iâd love it if you came to see
them on that day.
Hex: Are you sure itâs not an imposition; I mean Iâm not family or anything.
Solan: Youâre part of the larger family now; the one that exists here. It wouldnât be the
same without you; youâve become a great friend Hex.
14. Hex: Thank you; you have become a good friend as well. At first we started as teacher
and student; canât believe how long ago that was now. It seems like weâve been friends a
lot longer.
Solan: I wouldnât change a thing; look at you now; an experienced warlock.
Hex: I had a great teacher.
15. Solan: Xylen could never completely destroy my parentsâ love such things are
unbreakable.
Hex: You have good friends to help you out, I canât believe how much Aiden has
changed in the last 18 months while being here.
Solan: Yeah, I owe him my life. He took me to Elvendia just in time to prevent Xylen
from killing me too.
16. Hex: He seems to have forgiven Dalen, at least they talk now without ending up in a
shouting and energy ball throwing match.
Solan: That hole is still in the back wall isnât it? Canât believe Aiden nearly took off
Dalenâs head with that one energy ball.
Hex: Theyâre father and son; they had to get it out of their systems I suppose.
17. Solan: Now itâs all about a game of Whap with the ball; never get between two mean
gods when theyâre throwing things that hurt around.
Hex: Good idea. I like my face the way it is; not bruised and broken thanks.
Solan: Same here.
18. Hex: At least your dad gets along with Batalia now, I heard that they never really did before.
Solan: Most of the time, but she likes to toy with him. They were all part of the same history when
he was young. Both choosing to go their own ways unless it suited them to interact. At least
theyâre not chucking energy balls at each other.
Hex: YetâŠ
Solan: No, dad doesnât like to do that unless he has no choice to.
19. Solan: Talia knows when to behave, Iâve learned that much from living with her so far.
Hex: You have an interesting family here donât you?
Solan: Yep, they all know one another in some form; and they all have a deep history
that bonds them together, which is what I believe will be vital when the time comes for
the three of them to take their places as the Triad of Power. Not even Xylen can break
or destroy that again.
20. Hex: Some bonds can never be broken.
Solan: My one fear is that somehow, some way Xylen will find out how to turn them all
again, even though it seems irrational considering what they share, but I still worry.
Hex: No one cam blame you for erring on the side of caution; but the one thing that you have that
Xylen doesnât, is love. Your family, can he say the same?
Solan: No, he canât. Evil canât love, itâs only lust and instant gratification for evil.
21. Hex: Thatâs true, for sure. Who knows? Maybe that will be the key for my legacy to defeat Ralph
once and for all.
Solan: Do you miss them?
Hex: Yes, I do, very much. My son Lee, LavenderâŠ
Solan: I didnât know you had a son.
Hex: You never asked.
22. Solan: Shame on my part then, I probably should have asked about your life more.
Hex: Things happened, I donât hold it against you.
Solan: Well, I wonât make that mistake again.
Hex: Donât worry about it, Iâm good.
23. Hex: Speaking of family, when was the last time you spoke to yours?
Solan: Too long; I should probably call Ginny to let her know Iâm alive once in a while
huh?
Hex: Probably a good bet.
Solan: YeahâŠprobably.
24. Solan: I will though, my parents are getting married in two days so Iâll call her before
then.
Hex: Alright, as long as you donât forget.
Solan: I wonât; trust me.
******
25. Two days laterâŠ
It was finally time to marry Roxie, Reias had been waiting months to do this and he couldnât put it
off any longer. Roxie meant the world to him and he wanted to make sure she knew that every day.
However, this time she made him promise not to make her immortal, even though Reias objected to
that quite strongly. She said she wanted to live her life as she was meant to; as a mortal. Reias
eventually backed down, despite the nagging feeling in his gut that it may turn out to be a bad
decision on her part; though ultimately it was her choice in the end.
26. Roxie was pleased that he remembered the same vows that he had said to her the first
time they were married; the thought touched her deeply. She couldnât remember hers
but she made new ones which were just as wonderful and sweet as the first time. Solan
grinned as he heard his father repeat his old vows, he was only a teenager when they
got married before but he still remembered them.
27. It was just as beautiful the second time as it was the first. Virgil and Eve, who had only
recently become teenagers were enjoying the party at their grandparentâs house a lot,
they had a pool and a hot tub! And there was colour here, lots of colour, very different
than at their fatherâs temple.
29. Eddie: At least itâs not dark this time sis.
Reias: Well, the Underworld was never meant to be bright and sunny Eddie.
Eddie: Iâm happy for you big sis, really. I love Reias like a brother.
Reias: Feelingâs mutual Eddie.
30. Roxie: And I could never imagine being married to anyone else, whether it was once or
twice in a lifetime.
Reias: Iâd marry you a third or a hundred more times Roxie.
Atalanta: At least I got to see you get married this time Reias, this was beautiful.
Reias: Thank you Lanta, it means a lot to have you witness it this time.
31. Thanatos: I have never seen a wedding before.
Hex: Didnât you have one when you married Ilea?
Thanatos: No, I did not. And perhaps I should have, it would have made her so happy I
am sure.
Solan: I remember mine, it was at the end of my bachelor challenge.
32. Hex: Weddings are great, I love going to them.
Solan: Oh really? Then why arenât you dressed for one?
Hex: I didnât bring my tuxâŠand besides itâs not just me, Taliaâs wearing a bathing suit for godsâ
sake!
Borias: Weddings are boring, I donât want to have one when I get older.
Solan: You may change your mind, youâre still young Borias.
33. Borias: No I wonât! I donât want a wedding!
Solan: Kids, hard to believe youâre my cousin.
Borias: If I am why are you so old?
Solan: Iâm not oldâŠokay maybe a littleâŠ
Hex: You are a god, you donât age.
34. Solan: I wonder how old I am really, I remember Dion coming home with LiamâŠ
Borias: Whoâs Liam?
Solan: My older brother, half brother actually.
Hex: You had a brother?
Solan: Yes⊠and a sister I never knew either, both of them are dead now. Which is kinda
depressing actuallyâŠ
35. Solan picked at his cake, not wanting to elaborate any further on his brother and sister.
So it would seem that Hex didnât know all there was to know about his best friend and
mentor either, which gives them something to talk about one of these days. It did pique
his curiosity about him though, what else had happened to him before they met? He
appears to be fine with it, but the expression on his face would seem to suggest
otherwise. Maybe it still bothered him a great deal, Hex wanted to know.
36. When Eve began a group Smustle, everyone
looked like they were having fun. It was just
spending the time together, it looked like
everyone was enjoying not having to look
over their shoulders and wonder where the
next attack from Xylen would come from, or
what else could go wrong.
Virgil was lost, he had no idea what
the steps were and the cramped space
was painful for his wings, they kept
getting hit or bumped or scraped. He
didnât understand how his
grandmother could dance this
ridiculous dance and not suffer the
same as he did with her wings.
37. Virgil didnât know who the hot chick in her bathing suit was, but he sure wanted to
know who she was. To be so bold and outgoing at a stuffy wedding was refreshing to the
young teen. Unfortunately, he was the eighth generation heir and he had to eventually
settle down with someone, but that was way in the future; he just became a teen and he
wanted to let loose while he was still able to.
38. It eventually got dark out, but the dance party didnât stop. The garden lights cast a
beautiful glow on all the party goers, some of the dancers were getting tired and started
to stand around, and Virgil was nearly ready to join them.
39. Overall, it was great wedding and everyone had fun just being together and hanging out,
Virgil got to know some more of his extended family, his cousins and family friends too.
He did enjoy himself, which was rare in his life; living at his fatherâs dark and depressing
temple got to him after a while.
******
40. Eve: That wedding was nice wasnât it big brother? I never knew we had so many other family
members out there.
Virgil: Well I only met my grandmother once before, you werenât born yet though. Sheâs cool
enough, I can see where I got my wings from now.
Eve: But hers were white, yours are black. Where did the black come from?
Virgil: I dunno; grandma said that our first cousin Bell has black wings, and that they come from
our great-great grandfather Cupid, but Cupidâs wings werenât black.
41. Eve: I wish I had wings too.
Virgil: Theyâre a pain sometimes, I roll over on them when I sleep and end up getting woken up
by the pain. I havenât figured out how to fly with them yet; now thatâs something I want to do so
bad.
Eve: Aww, see now thatâs awesome! I wanna fly!!
Virgil: When I figure out how, maybe Iâll take you with me baby sis.
Eve: Really?
42. Virgil: I promise.
Eve: Yay!!
Virgil: Youâre such a kid, you know that?
Eve: Why?
Virgil: You get so excited over little things, itâs cute actually.
43. Virgil knew that if he really wanted to fly then he had to really work his body and get it
fit to be able to. He grinned as he thought about what it would be like to fly over the
city, see the temples of the gods from the air; and the pranksâŠhe grinned wider at that
thought. No one would ever suspect it was him pranking them: heâd soar so high over
their heads that theyâd never be able to catch him.

44. Evander: Come on Daphne, repeat after me: The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spoutâŠitâs
easy.
Daphne: Issy-bissy spiderâŠwan up spouâŠWADDER!! *giggles*

for real.
Daphne: Brudder funny!! *giggles*
Evander: BroTher!! Why canât you say your Tâs?
46. Daphne: Issy-bissyâŠbrudder!!
Evander: Youâre the itsy-bitsy one, not me. And youâre going to be even more itsy-bitsy
because I get to be a teenager tomorrow night.
Daphne: Again!! Sing again!! BrudderâŠ
47. Evander: One more timeâŠokay. The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout,
down came the rain and washed the spider outâŠ
Daphne: Issy-bissy spiderâŠ
48. Evander couldnât wait to join everyone else at school, Virgil was so cool and he wanted
to be in his group of friends so badly. But he was younger than him so Virgil never let
him in. That would change now, he was going to be old enough to hang out with Virgil
and all his cool friends.
49. And Evander is the spitting image of his
father Castor, with his motherâs purple eyes,
what a beautiful generation eight I have
here!! ^_^!!
50. And his little sister is the mirror image of
her mother.
Castor: Alright, no more diapers!! Wait,
that meansâŠ
*rolls want to have another baby*
Yeah, no. My eighth generation is big
enough as is. No more babies.
51. Speaking of babiesâŠ
Minos and Seiya finally get to toss their twin daughters into toddlerhood, since both are
girls and they have Seiyaâs custom hair; of which there is no toddler mesh for, the girls
got a different hair style instead. They are incredibly cute.

Borias: Okay!!
54. Borias: I beat one of my sisters anyway.
Loria: Itâs not a competition big brother.
Borias: It always is, it always isâŠ
Ephiny: Boys never grow up baby sis,

Loria: I will!!
Borias, Eddie, Iolaus: Hey!! Weâre right here!!
Ephiny: See? Point proven.

End of Entry Forty-Four.

55. I think Iâll end this here, with a lovely shot of Thanatos being chased by bees.
Thanatos: DO THEY NOT KNOW WHO I AM??!! I AM THE GOD OF DEATH!!
I donât think they care honey. But I find it highly amusing. ^_^
56. Thanatos: THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY DARED CHASE ME!! RUE IT I TELL
YOU!! ARGGHH!!
Sure they will, sure they will.
57. Name Origins:
Varia: An Amazon warrior whose sister was murdered by Livia, Xenaâs daughter, and
eventually became a friend of them.
Velasca: Another Amazon warrior who hated Gabrielle for taking over as her queen
after the death of the previous one, Melosa, who adopted her and raised her from a
child. Turned herself into a goddess after eating ambrosia when Autolycus (with
Xenaâs spirit inside him) beat her in a bloody fight over the ambrosia. Later met her
end in a fiery lava pit battle with Callisto
(which Callisto eventually broke out of, with the help of Hope).
Lila: Gabrielleâs sister.
