Maci and Tory had not kept Neo a secret from the rest of the Underworld, through Maci's pregnancy nor after she was actually born. There was no use in even trying to hide her, since rumors had spread like wildfire even before an official announcement had been made - Maci and Tory ''did'' make an official announcement before Neo's birth, as half of those rumors involved speculation on who the father of the baby could possibly be. Tory didn't take kindly to that. |

The information about Neo's realm-to-be was also spreading throughout the kingdom, as it had throughout Maci's whole pregnancy. This was something something that they hadn't publicized, but going to Nyx had been enough for word to leak, since her offspring tended to lurk - and this was juicy gossip. Everyone knew there were only two Death Gods, now and forever. A third was unprecedented. Without anyone even privy to the hints the Fates had given Maci and Tory, citizens of the Underworld were reaching the same correct conclusion anyway. Thanatos had committed many crimes over the years and perhaps it was finally time that he paid the price for strutting around without consequence. Had a god ever been stripped of their realm before? The Underworld was excited to find out. |

The word of course got back to Thanatos, neutralized by Stygian oath but still always watching, and he felt the stirrings of panic for the first time in his life. |
The word of course got back to Thanatos, neutralized by Stygian oath but still always watching, and he felt the stirrings of panic for the first time in his life. This panic blended with rage, and early in Maci's pregnancy, as these rumors had cycled, Thanatos formulated a plan that was more batshit unhinged than his previous acts of villainy had been. If Maci and Tory intended to defeat him through their child, then he would meet them on their very own playing field. |

A mere month after Neo was born, Maci and Tory were summoned unexpectedly by ''Nyx'' of all people, who seemed positively haunted when she met with them. |
