"Not that far, maybe half a mile at most, but even then, it is hard to make a connection at that distance if you don't have a target. It is not like you can just listen in on someone else's conversations; you need to be invited into the call," Olivia explained, and I let out a sigh of relief. The girls in the tower were way out of range, and that put my mind at rest, along with learning the range and a bit more about how the women's telepathic powers worked.
"Good. Now, let me call Tallia," I said, and the golden portal appeared beside me, but Tallia was in bed with a book and white cat pajamas that had a hood with cat ears.
"What do you want right now? I am clearly off duty," Tallia complained, and I grinned at how adorable she looked.
"Do you mind if we come in?" I asked, and Tallia rolled her eyes as she placed a white cat bookmark in her book that had a tassel for a tail that hung out the bottom.
"If you must. What is this about?" Tallia asked as we walked in, and the portal closed behind us.
"Can you open a portal to Eliza? I don't want to have to keep repeating myself about this, and that is a valid point that I need to bring up with her," I said, and Tallia rolled her eyes, but she gestured, and a portal opened to Eliza, but she was talking with Breya, Seraphina, and Ashe. The moment they saw the portal, all four started pushing to get through, and I could hear the blankets rustle from the bed as I looked over to see Tallia dive under the blankets.
"What is going on?!" Eliza asked after tripping Seraphina and then pushing Breya into the Ashe to make the three of them tumble to the ground to get to my side first.
"Everyone out into the kitchen!" Tallia demanded from under her blanket, and I nodded to Eliza and then helped the Angel and two Daywalkers back up from the ground. Once everyone was out, I closed the down and turned to Tallia, who was scowling at me. "That meant you as well."
"There are Three Supernatural creatures locked in a cave together right now, and more than likely, others prowling around. I am almost positive that it is Xena," I said as Tallia went over to her closet, looking back at me from over her shoulder.
"So? Just kill them," Tallia said, but I shook my head.
"Xena picked girls that I knew and had helped in one of my past lives as a Ghost Hunter. I am sure she is doing this on purpose, so I can't just kill them any more than I can just kill her! Why does she have to keep coming back like the plague?!" I complained as Tallia stripped out of her cute PJs and into a white and gold dress.
"There is no point in trying to sulk over it. Xena is a Blood Witch, and they are controlled by your mother, right? I don't think the Negative Energy gives them much of a choice when they do these things," Tallia said as she came over and pulled me from the door, and opened it to where the girls were waiting. "You might want to think of this as an advantage going forward. You know all these girls, and they are all good at certain things, I am sure, so put them to work."
That was a fair point, but leaving them all in that cave was not really ideal. Once Tallia had poured tea for all those that wanted, and Breya had worked her way into my lap, I explained everything that had happened today.
"You know these scary monsters... personally?" Ashe asked skeptically, and I nodded with a grin.
"Yes, quite well, but I need to find somewhere to put them where they can't hurt people," I explained, and Eliza spoke up.
"What about the wasteland to the south past the wall? I know there isn't anything there, but I am sure that you can do something with that for them, right?" Eliza asked, and I nodded thoughtfully. That was a good idea, and with a little bit of Transmutation and Growth Magic, I could make a little town, but I needed to go see Listenia one of these days, so that could be like a sort of date for us.
"That is a great idea! Maybe if you can let Listenia know that I will need her help tomorrow, that would be great. I also wanted to ask if you could talk to someone that does printing?" I asked, and Eliza gave me a strange look, so I explained myself. "I want to get some cards made. I know it sounds silly, but I am getting really tired of explaining who I am. When I first learned about the Vine, I thought that every woman would know who I was in the world, but I guess it is much more limited than I thought," I explained, and Eliza nodded.
"In the main cities, yes, but that is only because of the goddesses. Some will know you in the smaller cities and towns, but most will just write you off as a legend. A creature like you is quite fantastical," Breya said as she leaned back into me, and I kissed her cheek as Eliza nodded.
"I can see what I can do, but we might need to talk to Goldy about that. We don't really print much in the city. You might be able to ask Titania since she has magical scribes that could do something like that fairly quick," Eliza explained, and I nodded.
"Well, the other thing is that I need to stay in Calham tonight because of everything that is happening. I need to make sure that defenses get set and everyone is aware that there is something coming for them," I explained, and Eliza sighed but nodded.
