2023 2 WEEKS LATER SOUTH DAKOTA
BRIAR followed the three inside Ajak's house. Phastos, Ben and Jack are now the ones residing in the house since they didn't want life in the city anymore, especially now that their origins are known.
"Did you fix the TV?" Briar asked, amusement in her voice when she saw Ben and Jack watching TV.
"Yeah, Sprite told me about the storm when you found Ajak's body. That's why it's broken." Phastos turned to the girl with sass.
"It's not my fault my emotions can control the weather!" Briar sighed, pushing Phastos aside making the man glare at her.
"We ordered pizza.. and chicken wings. So you can have food before you leave." Ben turned to the three Eternals with a smile.
"Man, Phastos doesn't deserve you." Briar joked, earning snickers from Thena, Makkari and Druig.

"You better pray to all the Gods." Phastos snorted.
"Yeah, about that.." Briar cleared her throat, looking at them with a nervous look as she bit the top of her lip.
"What's wrong, flower?" Druig turned to the girl beside him, concern written on his face as he held Briar's hand.
"I.. won't be going with you guys." Briar gave them a sheepish smile, scratching the back of her neck.
