"We had to get divine help, actually," Daine admitted. "We tried burying them, they borst through like all that stone was nothing, and nothing we were doing, not with my bow or Numair's spells were helping. One minute they're about to kill us, next thing we know we're in the realm of the gods, weak as newborn runt kittens. But since they were Usoe's creatures, the Gods could step in, and would. They took care of it while Ma nursed us back to health." She hesitated, then shrugged. "got to meet my Da finally, but he wasn't too thrilled that we wanted to go back and hep with the war. Neither was Ma when it came to it. But they let us go, and we get to see them on some of the holy days when the veil between the realms is thinnest. Da actually gave me my good bow, after I lost the last bow he gave me crashing down a ravine that by rights should have killed me if not for all the trees breaking my fall all the way down."
