The Lover shoves a yam into Medic's mouth to wake him up and gets into stance, "True Love Breathing: Fifth Form. Sway-" Veil calls out, "Please, stand down, she can't hurt you anymore." The Lover pauses, watching him for any signs of insincerity. Butler slow picks up the Veil and starts carrying her out of the room. After a closely matched battle, Mother sends the serpentine Floe crashing to the ground. Seeing this, the others from the ship grab her and make their retreat as well. Krista scoops up Kara and uses that speed she so despised to carry them to safety.
The veiled woman sneaks back in, having evaded her pursuer.
Medic patches everyone up as best he could without his tools.
As the banquet hall was now in ruins, Mother has the fox and owls fix up the place while she brings the veiled woman and the Lover down a serpentine passage within the turtle's shell. The walls pulse with the turtle's rhythm and opens up to its heart. Swirling blood flows through the chambers, with a miniature sun bound to the walls with tendons.
"My heart, sought by many over the years, I give to you willingly. Hopefully, you will have greater luck than I on your journeys and reach heights I can only dream of. Grasp the star and ascend, relinquishing your mortal shell."
She takes the Lover and little Veil's hands and walks them to the center. A bridge of flesh and bone forms before their steps, leading the trio to the aetherium star. She places their hands upon the heart, and the newborn goddesses of affection and compassion take her place.
A weary Mother watches from the sides as little Veil presides over the ceremony binding the Lover and Medic.
The two goddesses would soon leave, as they have their own legends to grow and a collapsing domain was no place to do so.
However, Pim remained behind to protect Mother. It is doubtful whether he ever realized she wasn't exactly his own. With what little power she has remaining, she brings back Charlie to keep him company.
The Veil continued to spread unity, waiting for another lead to reveal itself. She had time. Her knife will only grow ever sharper, in anticipation for their next meeting. The last trace she found was the sighting of a stone owl dropping a Pail back home.
After the event, Veil and Butler had the occasional veiled visitor at their store. Veil maintained contact with Floe, although one might suspect that he has ulterior motives. At least, that is what his definitely not jealous snow fox whines about when its master spends the rest of the day giving the messenger cat all of its pets.
