Tallia summoned a portal to Breya's location the moment she felt the surge of power come from Galio, and pulled her through alone. As she did, a voice echoed in her head.
'Keep mom with you, and stay on your island, Aunty. Do not leave until you hear from dad.'
Grace's voice was calm as still water, but it made Tallia stiffen for a moment, but then she relaxed. 'I will listen to your request.'
'This isn't a request, Aunty. Do not leave that island until you talk to dad,' Grace ordered, making Tallia stiffen, but then the baby's presence was gone from her mind. She didn't like taking orders from someone with the appearance of a newborn, but she was also not a normal child by any standards.
"Tallia? Why are you pulling me here? I was just going to go check on Diablo and Grace. They are visiting Morgana," Breya complained, but Tallia shook her head.
"You and I are going to stay here with Xena and my mother. Something serious is happening over Galio's new city, and I also can't get in contact with him. I have also tried going to his island, but there is something blocking me from going there. If I had to guess, this is a declaration of war from my father," Tallia explained, making Breya frown.
"Then we should go get my daughter," she said, but Tallia shook her head again.
"No, they will need Grace's help to stop the threat. Only a moment ago, Galio sent out almost all of his power to me and I will have to assume the other Goddesses.
I would assume that even the ones participating in the Goddess Games will get some to defend against Leo, the other Zodiacs, and the flood of Chaos Beasts that have been unleashed," Tallia said, and then gestured around the area, and a giant dome of magic appeared over her island.
"So you are trying to say that Grace, who is less than a month old, is stronger than you?" Breya asked, and Tallia laughed.
"Stronger than me? There is nothing that all twelve Goddesses could do about her, even if we worked together. All of our power's are just a part of Galio's power that he gave to us, but it is her father's power. I might have gotten a little bit of his power, but Grace is that power, just like Galio.
Even if she isn't as strong as him, Grace has all the knowledge and power he had fought to regain, so you shouldn't be worried," Tallia explained, not bothering to add that Grace had ordered her to stay put with her mother, Breya.
Breya let out a long sigh, and then pointed at Tallia's house. "You had better have some sweets in there, or there will be hell to pay. I am going to be stress eating, so Nemoria and then Xena girl better get cooking! And you too, woman! Just tell me all this stuff giggling with a smile on your face! Not all of us can be as casual as you!"
Breya stormed off the Tallia's house, leaving the blonde goddess to turn off and look out at the clouds that surrounded her astral island. She played the calm one, but she was also worried, just not about Grace. No, she was worried about Galio, but she had to trust that he would make sure to kill her father this time.
Galio had grown since he came back with Xieus from the Underworld, and it was more than him regaining his powers.
Still, Tallia worried what tricks her father might try and pull. According to this latest move of invading the Mortal Realm of Goddesses, All restrictions that had been placed were gone. This meant that he was free to use any tactic, and probably the reason why Grace restricted them to this island.
Even so, the blonde goddess wanted to go to help Galio, and make sure that her father wouldn't do anything stupid, but the order given to her by her niece was absolute. She was also not strong enough to be of any help and would more than likely just get in the way. It was just that she wanted to do more, and help the man she loved more than anyone in the universe.
'Galio, please be careful.'
