As Neo continued to grow, Ilythia had warned Maci and Tory that in deity pregnancies, sometimes a divine baby's powers could develop so strongly in-utero that they could affect the powers of the carrying parent, often in small ways, like losing the ability to teleport temporarily. Indeed, when Maci was about four and a half months pregnant, she was panicked to discover that her godly powers were indeed slipping from her grasp. Her panic only increased when her pyrokinesis, all fire-powers, went out at once as Neo's mysterious realm of ability grew. In addition to the hormonal meltdown state she was usually in nowadays, Maci found herself weaker and ''colder'', and the joy of carrying their baby began to fade. But... the worst was still yet to come. |

Maci collapsed for the first time when she was five months pregnant with Neo, scaring the absolute hell out of Tory - and herself, once she'd regained consciousness. For she had not ''fainted'', and her appearance slumped upon the ground was not one of someone peacefully asleep. The color had drained from her cheeks, the breath had stopped from her lips, and her heart had silenced from her chest. Maci had become the picture of death, an illusion only broken by the knowledge of her own immortality. Tory had not been able to wake her. |

Maci had become the picture of death, an illusion only broken by the knowledge of her own immortality. Tory had not been able to wake her. In a panic he'd called absolutely anyone in the palace, then Ilythia, Seph. Ilythia confirmed that Neo, kicking happily away within Maci's womb, was perfectly fine. It was Seph who recognized the symptom. Nyx, when she'd carried the God of Gentle Death, none other than Thanatos himself, had fallen into a similar spell on and off throughout her own pregnancy with him and his twin. |

When Maci awoke, she and Tory summoned Nyx to ask what she knew about this strange effect and what it could mean. With a degree of shock, Nyx shared that throughout her hundreds of pregnancies with hundreds of children over the millennia, this death-like trance had only ever been been present for just two children: Thanatos, Gentle Death – but also Violent Death [[Ker]], Nyx’s firstborn. |
