Hadrian called for cars to be rolled out immediately and the women were pushed inside. Avenn was comforting Ambrosia. Brigitte was comforting Nora.
What they failed to understand was why the children were not being given back to them if they were being moved to another base.
Ambrosia asked her husband this much.
Avenn replied, "Hades does not trust us anymore. Maybe he is worried that we will plot against him from over there so the children are hostages.
Or maybe he is punishing us.
We don't know the conditions of the place where we are being sent to. We don't know if we will be able to eat well. I think we should let the children stay here for now. Anyway, they are with their grandparents.
I don't believe that they will be treated cruelly. And sooner or later, we will re-unite with them."
The apocalypse only lasted five years, according to what Moon Raine said. After five years, as long they survived, they would get their children back.
