Hannah Lane
Tower of Enacra
Month Two
The Fae stepped up without further prompting, preparing themselves for battle quickly. The parents began muttering quietly to each other before separating. Some handed off their babies to the other parents, some simply picked one of themselves to stay behind. The children were all babies given many had spent the last few years of their life at war under Occus and their children were only recently born. Soon the Fae were ready, a small group of parents remained behind with Talia to defend the smallest of them, but some thirty fighters, most of them a couple centuries old and still looking young (and mostly human, except for the werewolf and occasional dusting of fish scales or pointed ears). Most were armed with a knife at least, some had a staff or a handgun, and a few were ready to just use their claws.
"Let's go," Hannah said, slithering up the stairs awkwardly, this form was built for aquatic combat, not traversing buildings constructed with legs in mind. Aden quickly overtook her, making it to the second (first) floor quickly.
"Clear!" The Werewolf barked out, "Fighters with us," he called to the Fae still on that floor. "We'll hold out on the third (second) floor." He could hear fighting on the floor above, but if they tried to join the fray from the stairwell they'd be trapped in a choke point. It was too late for the fourth (third) floor.
Once on the third (second) floor, Hannah began assembling the Fae into groups. Setting them to stand with their backs against the wall, facing inwards. If the attackers came through the ceiling as reported before, the defenders would be ready.

Month Two
The screech spooked all present, and the battle lulled once more. The Humans had little reason to believe the woman was actually a goddess, the gods weren't real after all, their faith rested in another, but she did seem to have power and so they took the threat at face value, pulling away from the Urtoks reluctantly. Many had already been slain, and the Humans wanted to avenge their fallen brothers, but the military commanders among them were holding them in line.
The Urtoks were not so skeptical, and the one in charge of this particular invasion ship was already suspicious. She had seen the lights fired from space in the distance, she knew what they meant, but the last time she looked at a map of this world those locations were sprawling cities. The invasion ships had reasonable orders, wipe out the military, pacify their regions, await further orders, but if the Sha-Brytol was firing on large civilian cities... why? She was unconvinced these Humans could do what they'd been accused of, alien as both they and their technologies might be it just didn't seem feasible. Surely the commanders knew that? So then why accuse and punish the Humans so viciously?
She recalled the invasion back to the landed ship and set up a perimeter to defend themselves if the humans fought on despite their goddess's warning.
She was just one of many though, the other ships continued their invasion unhindered, out of contact as they were with the rest of the forces.

Aphrodite
Olympus
Month Two
Aphrodite shrieked in rage when she heard the disgusting voice of the murderous spawn that had killed her. "Huntress!" She screamed, getting the attention of Artemis who was firing a ceaseless rain of silver arrows into a screaming god in mortal clothing. "The thing is here! Kill it!" She demanded. Artemis lips curled in disgust as she readied her bow, clearly Aphrodite had been bad talking about the thing that killed her and gave the other fallen deities a good idea of what sort of horrible monster they would be dealing with.
