She nodes takeing his hand again and takeing a few steps closer to him knowing that he was just going to pull her in again like he did last time.

She was right. He did so in a flash. One dizzying swirl later, she was back at the palace, standing in the main hall. "It's time for me to go," he said, and without waiting, he jumped and vanished once more.

She stood there for a few second her hand still in the place it was before holding his. She blinked a few times and whispered. "Bye..." Though he had already gone. Now Kealya left the main hall and head to where Isis normally was only to meet her half way in the hall. "Kealya! Where have you been?! I have been looking for you all day." Kealya gave a sheepish smile to the goddess. "I've been out. I'm sorry your Goddess I wont be late again." Isis nodes her head. "Yes make sure of that now I need you to do something for me-" "Isis can I ask you something?" Isis stopped looking down to the girl, she had interrupted her and that was very un-Kealya like. "Kealya I'm sure it is very important but right now I need you to do some work for me. I'll listen to what you have to say when I have some free time. Right now everything is just getting out of hand." Isis ushers the girl back to her normal work area only to find a stack of papers on her desk. "I need you to go threw these and pull out the most important ones. For some reason I got a flood of letter from several of my cities about Nefertari's marriage and a few are not pleased. Find those for me and bring them to me." Kealya looked at the paper and nodded her head. "Yes Goddess I will have this work done by the end of the day." Isis smiles and pats her on the head. "That's my girl." And walks off leaving Kealya to her work that will take all day.

Life at the palace was in constant rush, with Shiku, Isis, and Kealya having to connect with numerous cities and states to appease their various concerns. Nef and Daemon took care of their newborns in silence, for Isis was still keeping the birth secret to this point. Even the newlyweds of Horus and Melali were not to be disturbed; it was still so soon after their own marriage, and after the struggle it took to be married, they wanted to enjoy it.
Daemon looked down at his two girls. He could the vast emptiness where souls should have been and silently wondered if that is he sensed out to others. He could feel them leeching some of his energy; they would have drawn from Hell before, in their young age, but now he was the only true source that could nourish them. In his life before, he would not allowed any parasite to feed off him for any reason, especially in a world where he could not replenish from Hell himself, but his situation had changed. There would be no more Hell for him. He had found his new source, and now, having these girls were part of that equation. He would keep his end of the deal: he would keep them alive. It meant that he had to stay close to them, and they to him. And hopefully, when they became older, they would become self-sustaining.

Nef was alarmed at the rate that her children where growing and while Ank was fine with her milk Usha frew fang far to fast for Nefertari's liking and when she got hungry she would bite her mother or her father, depending on who was closer to her. Usha also appeared to grow even faster then her sister becoming twice Ank's size in just a few days. While Ank was still small and had to be held Usha was moving around crawling on the floor. This was far to disorienting for the young mother and it didn't help that her mother was keeping the birth under wraps at the moment.
This morning started at lot different from the others. Nef was jolted awake when she felt little fang skin into her arm. "USHA!" Nef yelled with shot as she sat right up in bed looking down her to first born how was latched onto her arm even larger then she was the past day. Usha was about the since of a two year old while Ank looked like she was 6 months. Nef started down at her with a shocked look on her face. "Usha when did you get this big!?"

Daemon had already been up--or perhaps he just never went to sleep--trying to drink something on a nearby chair. He scrunched up his nose. He really need to find some coffee soon. This shit just wasn't cutting it. "Constantly, Nef. She's been growing at a constant rate of about 0.5 mm per hour," he said in a somewhat weary voice. But some of his old Daemon-ness just refused to die out, and he smirked at her, and said over his mug, "You had best stop sleeping, or you're going to miss all these precious moments of our children growing." He was taunting her.

Usha finely let go of her arm as she looked up at her mother with no emotion on her face as she sat back down. Nef wiped the reaming blood off her arm and picked Usha up placing her in her lap. "I'm not use to well anyone growing this fast Daemon and unlike you I need rest and why is it that Usha is growing much fast then Ank? You seem to have all the answers smart guy." Usha sat in her mothers lap for a few moment but got up quickly and made her way over to her father and crawled into his lap preferring his energy to her mothers. Nef looked a little upset but picked up the sleeping Ank next to her. Since the girls where growing so fast Nef just had them sleep in the same bed with her and Daemon.

Even with Usha not having true words in her thoughts, he could see into both his daughters' minds and understand with ease. He picked her up and let her do what she would in his lap. He expected what a great majority of his future was going to be. "Is an answer really needed?" Daemon posed back to her. "They grow as they will. They're already doing so at an inhumanly rapid speed, both of them. Ank just so a little less rapidly. Nothing to be overly-concerned with."

"Daemon... They are growing faster then normal babies I'm sorry if I am a little concerned. I'm not used to this and I'm used to having something biting my arm every few hours." To this Usha gives a grin to her mother, a very devilish grin. Now that she was drawing power from her father she showed a bit more emotion. She looks up to Daemon and pulls at his shirt thinking. "When will I be able to talk?" To Nef it just looked like Usha was trying to get attention like any normal child would. Nef then looked down at the other child in her arms, Ank's eyes slowly opened and she blinked a few time beginning to squirm in her arms. Nef rocks her a bit, "Shhh it's okay Ank." Ank calmed down again.

"When you are not afraid," Daemon replied to Usha, somewhat grinning down at her. Fleetingly, he wondered what Nef would think is she knew he was already communicating with their daughters in a way she could not. Usha liked to talk. Ank was quieter. Usha also required more entertainment, so he silently whipped out what looked like a little black doll, made of shadows. It's eyes were simply empty, so the light of the world shone through them. He let it float down by Usha to take.

Usha looked upset at his response but all was forgiven by the small girl when the doll flouted in front of her. She reached out and took it. She looked into the eyes of it and for the first time Usha smiled. She held the doll out at arms length with a big smile on her face. She then pulled the doll back in closer to her hugging it tight. Nef couldn't help but smile at this watching her daughter look so happy on her fathers lap. She then felt a little hand clinging to her top and she looked down to Ank. "All right Ank I'll feed you." She moved Ank in her arms so her would have an easier time holding her while she fed her. Usha was having a lot of fun now playing with the doll Daemon made for her. "You know Daemon I really wasn't expecting you to be such a good father."

He made a slightly gruff sound like a muffled chuckle, but it was humorless. "That was a silly assumption on your part. I am perfect." His eyes had still such malignancy toward Nefertari for all the days, but it had become slightly more subdued. It might just have been their daughter's presence that kept him acting out entirely. But what was jarring was how he would carry on his tone and looks toward Nefertari in his face, and yet, he still gently pet Usha who sat on his lap.

Nef was a little put off by this and gave him a side ways look at this. "Yes Daemon of course you are." She said in a very sarcastic tone. She then moved Ank who was done eating to pat her back to allow the little girl to burp. Ank was still in a baby form but her mind was growing far faster then Usha's. Usha on the other hand cocked her head to the side looking at the doll and did what any little kid would do. She stuck the head of the doll in the mouth and bit down. Nef looks a little startled at this. "Daemon get that out of her mouth!" It was clear that Usha still hand a very very child like mind at this point.

"No Usha," Daemon said, looking down at her. The truth was that he was acting entirely out of principle. The shadow doll could not harm her, for even though it felt solid in her arms, when she tried to put it into her mouth, it felt like nothing. It was only a shadow after all, and all shadows were illusions of sorts. From the outside, Daemon turned his wrist and the doll dissipated entirely, only to phase back in in Usha's arms outside her mouth. "The doll has no blood for you to drink," he said.

At that comment Usha got upset and threw the doll across the other side of the room and crossed her arms. She didn't like the fact that it didn't have blood for her to drink. "Usha don't throw things." Nef says in a sterns voice. Usha looked over at her mother and hung her head at that not liking to be scolded. She then moves closer to Daemon cuddling up to him trying to win his favor so that she wont get yelled at by Nef again.
