EVIE
It does no justice to Deimos, who had witnessed and lived every moment, but to Evie it is still imposing and breathtaking. She watches Remi's hand thrust itself into Caido's chest, and wonders at how it did not obliterate the man's entire arm. And then -
It's over.
It's an anticlimactic ending, and she's left staring at the idly spinning but otherwise unmoving droplets of water. Had that really been the end? What had happened to the Core? Was Caido its lifeforce, and the removal alone had destroyed it?
Deimos' hand on her cheek brings her back, and she decides in that moment that it doesn't matter. The demigods believed it to be done, and so she will trust them. There is no cohesive leader of the Grounds as a whole aside from the demigods, and it was more of a general respect for their status as chosen ones of heralds and gods they are devoted to. "No, there was no time. It was just Talyson and I, after the banshees made it over the wall. I didn't even know who else to call - Hotaru and Sah were fighting the dragons in the city already." Every hand had been busy by then, who would have even answered the call? But she knows they will be useful someday, she is sure of it.

Don't look up, just let them think
There's no place else you'd rather be
