Kyrie listened and then looked down at her feathered hand. She had a body. Would it die and her soul separate? She wasn't very sure if she liked that idea. How would she hug her mommy and daddy and Cae and Isi?
"Where do they go?" she asked, tilting her head to the side to peer up at him.

Kyrie had little to worry about. Gods, and other immortals, had little to worry about. Oh, there was ways to kill anything - even a god. But damn if he would let anything get past him.
When the Grigori showed up again, they would have to take him down first. Hopefully an harder thing that it would have been.... Back then.
"They go to a place, deep below the earth." He tapped the soil with his free hand. "A place called the underworld. Then, they go up again. In a very, very big tree. Rebirth and Gaia makes sure that they live again."

Kyrie looked down to the ground and patted it with her little hand like he did. The ground felt really hard. She then looked to the trees around them. Lifting her hand from the ground, she tapped the side of her beak a little as she thought and the female crow walked up her arm to rest on her shoulder as a couple of the more brave ones decided to jump up onto her lap.
"How do they get there?"

"I bring them there." Ankou would explain. "I make sure they are safe. That they rest, if they need to." Sometimes it was needed - especially if the death had been violent. The cycle was overall faster than it used to be, but with the devastation of Gehenna, he had little other choice. Once the worlds population were a little more stable, he could ease down a bit.
Just a tiny bit.

Kyrie's eyes sparkled with a smile and she eased her new friends down to the ground so she could crawl over to her father's lap. Curling up against him, she looked up into his eyes.
"Will I help you?" She desperately wanted to help her father. She didn't understand the mechanics of it, but she knew that she would be able to someday, somehow.

"Of course you will." His hand would move to smooth though her head feathers. She would, as would Cosine, Isidore and Caelia. Even Akakios. Even if not directly - and even if they never realized it. They were his happiness. It had taken him such a long time to find it.
"Like I say, the crows always helped me. I did not know why before, but I think I do, now." He smiled. Had they known, one day, that he would return their goddess to them ? Maybe. They were clever creatures.

She liked that too. She liked that her father was proud of her and that she would get to help him.
"They like you," she declared, leaning her head against his shoulder. They liked her too, but it felt different somehow. They liked her father's presence, but they wanted to be in hers. She liked that as well, she decided. "Let's go look at the babies," she decided, lifting her head and scrambling up off his lap. Seemed the peaceful moment was over and it was time to explore once more.
