*Immediately, eMel turns on Epi and kidnaps him, as his pregnancy is still affecting and weakening his powers. She and Eris together stash him in the Pit[[Cronus of Kronospit]] while Eury and gMel flee back to the Elysium palace.

*While the palace searches for Epi, eMel terrorizes him. InShe atears gruesome scene, she tearsthe unborn Melanie from Epi's womb and murders her, as she had tragically not yet developed her divine immortality. When Melanie dies, eMel uses her powers as Goddess of Ghosts to physically rip apart her shade into scattered fragments, leaving almost nothing left of her.

*eMel resumes her old hobbies of terror as Epi suffers, like murdering mortals again in the upper world, even briefly meeting loose supervillain disaster Chal. Eris starts trying to brainwash Epi using stolen Lethe River water into reverting to his full daemon form, to use him as a weapon against the palace.

* - but eMel discovers that Epi's been reaching out and moves them to a secondary location before the palace can catch up. Maci and Tory arrive at theCronus' Pit of Kronospit. They don't find Epi. They do find Melanie's remains.

*Blaming herself for the attacks, Meli disappears from the palace. Secretly, butshe also leavingsets out to find the scraps of Melanie's lost shade.

*Epi immediatelydiscover's becomeshe's pregnant again, though this time by accidentunintentionally. Meli returns with Melanie's shade, patched together; Epi allows the new unborn child to absorb Melanie's soul, reincarnating her... unaware that this time around, he's actually carrying twins Ty and Bel. Fearful of the threat of her other self, Meli tries to run away again to protect her unborn sibling(s), but isEpi beggedand backEury beg her to stay - they can't lose another child.

*Meli agrees to stay. Epi, Meli, and Eury move permanently into Elysium.

*During Epi's pregnancy, the palace discovers first that Epi's carrying twins; second, that Ty and Bel are telepathic, discovered on account of the twins poking around snooping ''inside'' everyone's head even from inside Epi's womb.

*Ty and Bel are born! Even as newborns, they are immediately exceed developmental milestones on the metaphysical scale, able to communicate telepathically with their family and the palace while just a few days old.

*Thanatos, from his cell in Tartarus, is filled in by Eris of the drama of the months past, the release and recapture of Melinoe and the trauma inflicted upon Epi. Learning that Epi and Eury now have vulnerable children of their own, and in his slipping insanity deciding that while post-partum, surely Epi is less of a legendary threat to fuck with, Thanatos seeks out a newdifferent previous victim to terrorize - Eury. Eris hacks the Elysium barrier to shut it temporarily off, and break Thanatos out of his cell.

*At Thanatos' orders, Chal reappears from... wherever the hell he'd been, to break into the palace and kidnap Eury to drop at Thanatos' feet. While in the palace, at the guidance of Eris, Chal also manages to slip a poison in Meli's vicinity for the purpose of later chaos. With Eury deposited into his grasp, Thanatos manages to attack him but briefly before Epi shows up, furious that Thanatos would dare harm his mate and challenge him so directly.

*Thanatos is re-imprisoned, much worse for the wear and cursed with nightmares. Chal disappears off the grid again. Epi revisits for good measure., leaving Thanatos cursed with vivid insanity-inducing nightmares.

*Meli finally accidentally drinks the lurking poison that Chal had planted -. eMel escapes thetheir physical body ''again'', but when she beelines straight to harm the twins gMel rushes after her and they both vanish. When Meli soon after reappears - reunited together again as one - despite acting the same, this Melinoe is now being secretly puppeted by her evil half. This very temporary version, "MelE" puts on a weepy show of wanting to guard and protect the baby twins from harm especially given Thanatos' recent events.
