Once Chal's unborn baby had grown enough to be immortal, Ilythia transferred the baby, a little girl, to Tory's womb for the remaining duration of her development. Through this entire process, not one person noticed that Tory's existing baby was actually a set of twins. Completely identical and tangled on top of each other, plus possessing strange daemonic weaselly features and constantly shapeshifting back and forth and back, Ilythia and Hecate each assumed one twin was the other's tail or limb or torso. |

Tory’s artificial twin pregnancy in progress during the transfer was in reality an artificial new triplet pregnancy. |

Eventually, as the babies grew, Maci and Tory chose the name “Celos” for their son, and Chal and Bel shyly chose to name the baby they'd given up at Tory's offer, calling her “[[Enodia]],” or “N” for short. When alarm bells were raised about N's possible appearance, the horrible traits of [[Ker]] being detected among one of Ilythia's check-ups, Tory arranged with Loki for Chal, [[Libby]] (Chal's sister, or well, close enough - long story), and [[Bel]] to see a hologram projection of Enodia like a livestreamed 3D sonogram. Pawing around magically within Tory’s womb, Loki was also able to show Maci and Tory the baby that was theirs, and in the action of doing so, ''he'' discovered the third child hiding inside behind his brother. |

Tory was overdue by the time Ilythia finally realized and announced he was carrying three and not two, during another routine checkup to see when the babies could be induced. In addition to a revised due date, they received a new baby surprise! Panicking for a name since the twins - no, triplets, were set to come out any day, Tory and Maci landed on “Pyralis” as the second. Many years ago, before Neo had been born, they had discussed the name Pyralis for a baby boy. It hadn't felt right for the baby who would end up being Neo, but it felt right now. |

Tory eventually was so overdue that Hecate and Ilythia did end up inducing labor. Even with the powers and assistance of those two midwifery goddesses, the birth of the triplets was long and arduous, stretching across three days. Pyralis was the first born on the first day, then baby N the next, followed by Celos on the third day, giving the twins non-consecutive birth dates. |
