Minerva rushed into the throne room, nearly throwing the door off the hinges herself before charging up to her friends. "You are my friends Mikky, Akeno. You don't need to go breaking and entering!" She shouted.

Akeno leaned back to look at Minerva as she entered, revealing Edon's head and Mikky's worried face. "Minerva, we need your help."

Minerva was at their sides in a second, looking over Edon with her own expression of worry. "What did you do?"

"She was trapped in an underground cave below the lake. Someone was using magic to prevent her from being able to escape. This is Edon."

"The forest spirit?" Minerva questioned curiously. "I'd heard rumors that she had become more nasty recently. I suppose her being replaced makes sense."

"What can we do?" Mikky asked.

"Can you not to the same for her as you did for me?" Akeno asked.

"I'll do my best." Minerva nodded before raising her hand to her face and biting down on her own palm. Akeno tilted Edon's head back while Mikky pulled opened the Goddess's mouth as Minerva let a few drops land on the goddess's tongue before the wound healed. She then moved backwards and her eyes turned red as she stared at her.

The wolf was still for a few seconds before she began coughing. She went to push Akeno and Mikky away, but she still did not have the strength to do so, and instead gently smacked them around before realizing that she was safe. Mikky and Akeno couldn't help but smile as Minerva's eyes returned to bronze, and Edon seemed to be breathing much more steady and strong. She looked up at Mikky with her eyelids heavy before a gentle smile crossed her face.

"You did come for me." She stated.

"I did." Mikky smiled back. "Akeno and I did. Minerva helped you get a jump start on the healing process."

"Akeno... Minerva... Thank you for saving me."

"It's my pleasure." Akeno answered with a grin.

"Of course. This land was yours long before it was mine."

Edon turned her head so she could see Minerva kneeling at her feet with Akeno to her right and Mikky to her left. She studied the vampire curiously. "Are you not Minerva?"

"I am. But I'm sealed. My divinity is no more, the same as the other Gods."

"I see. You do not remember me?"

"You weren't my Guardian. You were Diana's." Minerva answered. "I did not have the pleasure of meeting you in person. Though, I do now."

"I wish it were under better circumstances my Lady."

"Oh, none of that." Minerva rolled her eyes. "I am Minerva Stargazer, Daughter of Zia. Not the Goddess of Wisdom."

"I see. Thank you for saving me."

"You can stay in my palace and rest up. I will keep healing you as best I can, but most of if not all your power has been drained, so it may take some time." Minerva explained.

"Thank you again." Edon smiled softly, her eyes blinking slowly before refocusing on Minerva. "I will take all the rest I can get."

"Indeed you will. If Mikky and Akeno have to save you again it won't be pleasant." The vampire teased.

"I will do my best not to disappoint." Edon answered, her eyes looking heavy.

Mikky went to lift her but Minerva smiled and gently pushed her aside before scooping up the Goddess in her own arms. "I'll have her resting in my quarters for now. At least until she's back on her feet. I would hate to have her get worse before she gets better." She explained.
