Back Under: Going It Alone
"Galio! You finally made it back!" Lexi said as I came through the portal, but she looked disheveled.
"Yup, sorry I took so long. What happened here? Did more monsters attack?" I asked, but then I saw a very beaten and bruised-looking Toto and Martha. "Ah," I said.
"Don't awe me! I would have sooner had the entire Underworld attacking me rather than the two of them!" Lexi almost hissed but then drew in a large breath of air before letting it out. "I think that I am going to go back to our world. You actually still seem to know more about this place than I do. So, I think that you will be fine. You are the god of everything, after all, right?"
I blinked at her, but I could tell that she was at her wit's end. Considering how well I was controlling my power now, I was more than capable of finishing this mission alone. Spending time with Tallia, Breya, Grace, and Eliza really bolstered my resolve. I now knew what I needed to do.
