With the children of her familia surrounding the crystal she was imprisoned within, Artemis waited… she could feel something else was going on, the pain of being consumed by the monster was no longer eating away at her. Moreover she could sense that a nearby mass was containing her full might, her full, and complete essence… 'so, he can handle that much already…' she thought and began to stir with a twitch of her eyelids, and lips it became apparent she was indeed alive, and willing to fight to remain so.
Shurry noticed the extremely tiny movement, to move even a little bit while contained in a solid mass was more than enough proof for him, Artemis wanted to return. Moreover, he didn't need to worry about outside evidence, he could feel the love Artemis had towards her children, and the sense of wishing to stay with them. Even if it meant that a man had to help her return properly.
He knelt down next to the crystal, closed his eyes, placing a hand upon it, channeling a small portion of the arcanum inside, slowly, yet surely carving out a perfect outline of Artemis' body, giving both of them a rather odd feeling.
The crystal cracked, louder, and louder, faster and faster. Artemis' arcanum once flowed back to her with the strength of a clogged creek, now rushed with the force of a mighty river. It wanted to return to its rightful owner, where it was most comfortable, yet as it flowed out from Shurry's body, it made sure to thank him.
Eventually, Artemis had enough strength returned to her body she managed to completely shatter the crystal with an abundance of renewed strength. She flew out of the crystal glowing in the small, yet brilliant golden light of a goddess' aura.
"You may release the rest now."
"You don't need any rest?"
"I'll be fine, but you… you are suffering immensely. Release it, and let it all return home."
Shurry smirked, and rose to his feet, spreading his arms out to claim some space.
"Very well, you're right, bearing the full weight of a goddess is no easy task. Consider it good fortune I leveled up recently, acquiring the minimum requirement needed to avoid exploding…"
"I am impressed you pulled it off, little nephew… a child of the moon."
"Here it comes."
Shurry released a howl heard round the world, letting all of the arcanum leave the seal of his body. A thick golden fluid-like mass spun out like a tornado arcing up and outward until Artemis breathed in, creating a flood of this mass raging back to her body, filling it with her divine power once more.
This scene played out for a few seconds before Shurry stumbled, causing Luna to leave his body, take form and help to keep him on his feet.
Rethusa witnessed this, and despite her current weakness attempted to help as well. She took a step forward, and then was launched backwards under the insane, chaotic pressure.
"Young lady, that's dangerous, you'd better leave something like this to me."
"Huh?"
"Stay a safe distance away, after all standing in the presence of a god's full, unrestrained might is no easy feat… it even sends a shiver up my spine." Zald smirked, and slowly pushed forward towards the howling Werewolf at the center of this arcanum storm.
"He… Is he going to be okay?" Rethusa asked.
Zald answered with a smirk, and powerful, yet calm wave as he refocused on the task at hand. His steps grew harder & heavier, with each and every step, the pressure was immense, but far less than when he attempted to contain it within his own body. Once he reached Shurry, he too aided in keeping him standing just like Luna was doing.
They continued like this for another minute before Shurry had finally released everything… his howl slowly faded out, as he began to relax, and took in a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He removed his arms from both who helped keep him standing, and cracked his neck.
"That was a whole lot more than the amount Erebus poisoned me with." He rolled his shoulders, lightly chuckling. "Guess I'll have my work cut out for me when we return to the dungeon, isn't that right Ouranos?"
"Indeed…"
"Figures, oh well. At least aunty Artemis is safe now. No thanks to Finn, Ottar, and the others of course."
Artemis finished her absorption, assimilating with her own arcanum… more than a few tears flowed the length of her cheeks as she used her power to pick out the best clothes, putting them on before anyone else could witness her bare naked beauty. Once she landed, she stared into Shurry's eyes.
"I now know exactly what happened to you in your past. I was wrong to treat you that way when we first met… I suppose it's a good thing for you to love those women of yours now… And I can tell, you struggle with it, yet still have the heart for them all. Despite the clear, undeniable favorite you have among them." She placed a hand on Shurry's head. "I'm sorry, and thank you for helping me recover safely."
"I had the ability, so naturally I'd do it for you, aunty."
"No, even so, you went through a terrible deal of pain to perform such a feat. Had you not gained that development ability, nor something else with your status, you would not have survived the full weight of a god's power… even if you and I share many things in common, arcanum is no easy power to contain. As such, I will not hit you for seeing my body, I know it was not your intention, and you have no lust towards me." She smiled. "It almost makes me feel bad for Hathor, oh well."
"Hehe, thanks aunty, I'm quite exhausted as it is now." Sighing as he regained his composure, and noticing he had recovered enough strength to handle the entire Tsugunai if he needed to. "I still have more matters to handle here. I'm sure Rethusa and the others want their mother back, I know I would. I also know you wish to hold them as well."
"Pfft, you're right, I love my children. But first, allow me to properly reward you. Luna, your support has been instrumental in Shurry's development. You're a wonderful pair, closer than friends and siblings, yet not lovers… Your name will be Luna… Luna Brilliant Moon."
