Athena smiled and shook Lox's dragon hand.
His children noticed he was starting to cry and were confused.
"What's wrong dad? You're doing that really important job for the masked god who let us grow as dragons again! He promised us that as long as you did your job, dragons would exist on Exteria again!" Lox's oldest son said proudly.
"Yes, your Father is doing a very important job but it's not for the masked god. He's secretly been working for me to expose the evil in this world," Athena lied out of compassion. "Will you two please go play with Xander out back? We have some adult things to talk about."
"Sure! Come on Xandy! Let's go play!" they said as the three of them started to run out toward the backyard.
"Xander, one moment please. Can you please open a portal to Leila?"
"Where is she? The mansion?" Xander asked curiously.
"Yes, go ahead dear," Athena said politely.
