A few days had gone by since then, and only a select few people knew about the whole situation with Rafe. Only those that could be trusted, and he had already been taken safely to his mother's domain, until he was fully recovered and had woken up. Typically death gods were allowed there, but Jace was the exception to that rule. Ameretat had been more than delighted to meet the husband of one of her children, and had definitely been shocked to learn that they pair were expecting.
Once Jace and Kimiko had gotten back to the palace, she was informing her husband that she was going to go lie down for a bit. This whole being pregnant thing was more exhausting than she had imagined, but definitely worth it. Although it didn't help that she had been up most of the night, versus Jace, making sure that Rafe continued to stay stable enough to move. Her own fault but she had wanted her husband to get some sleep, considering he had been quite busy the last few days. And this way he could take care of his own business, not like anybody would bother her in their rooms, other than himself or her handmaiden, who was the only even allowed to enter other than Jace himself if Kimiko was in there alone, well that and Kitiara. Although it was a few hours after that, that the handmaiden was going in to check on Kimiko, to discover that something was very wrong. She was fast asleep although it was as though she was stuck in a nightmare, thrashing as though she were trapped. This had the woman bolting off to go and get Jace as fast as she could.
Azraella was napping next to Ed, who was still quite sick, although she was waking up rather suddenly. There was a very familiar magic, and she definitely wasn't all that happy to feel it. An image of the dark god was standing in their room on the other side of Ed, his finger on the male's forehead. This had Azraella actually swatting at the hand, telling the dark creature not to be touching him. Not as though she could really do a whole lot, not at that point in time. No she had no idea what he had done, considering all he was doing was giving a rather dark laugh before he was humming, "Give it a few hours and you'll be begging me to save him." After that the imagine was just fading away.
Meanwhile, Atticus and Azazel were out in the sparring field training, although they would both end up getting distracted by the sudden scream that could be heard. Seras! She had simply gone to check on Celeste, who had been napping in the nursey, only to go into the room to see the dark god standing in there, over the crib. Now the woman was laying on the ground unconscious with Lilith, who had been the closest out of the all of the demons, who was standing over her protectively. "Pass on a message demon. Tayla comes to me, willingly. And the child shall be returned unharmed and safely to her mother's arms." the dark god spoke, before just disappearing.
