Hug.

"I wish horrible things wouldn't happen to you at all."

"Sounds lovely. Isn't the way things go, I don't think. Horrible things happened to all my alts, too."

"Well, eventually I suppose I'll have to figure out why that is and put a stop to it."

"Fate. It stops once someone shows up, but no one seems to show up in time, unless they show up before I exist at all."

"Then I guess the thing to do is either find more Ardas faster, or figure out why Fate insists on being that way and make it stop."

"Good luck with that."

"I'm a Taliar. I can do anything," he says serenely, cuddling him.

"I'll believe it when I see it."

"Okay."

Not that he has any idea how to do such a thing. But he's sure he'll think of something eventually.

He's pretty sure that Independence's current dimension is outside an Eru's reach anyway.

There is that.

Anyway, right now Raika-seren is not solving any cosmically important problems. Right now he is cuddling Maitimo because there are no emergencies to deal with and he gets to do that.

And after a while - let's check on the situation -

All right.

He gets dressed and pops over to the relevant world to eavesdrop on the aliens.

The aliens... are doing really well. He made the right call in leaving them alone. They've pulled out of the Suranse portal-maze, they're working on reintegrating the ritually-dead soldiers into society, plenty of people are very very nervous about the idea of the wing contagion spreading throughout society but the cult of the Destroyer keeps emphasizing that the time of outsiders being filth is over.

That's about the best they could have hoped for. 

Yeah.

He returns home and snuggles up to Maitimo again.

And:

I have general resurrection, says Elaneth-imire.

Good. Everyone - please -

Of course—can you show me where to put them—

He shows Maitimo the way it works. It's pretty clearly targeted very specifically at this exact problem - it branches from his existing resurrection but also ties into the sensory power, he can look at a place and see who has died there and pull them back into the world - but there is probably a better way to do this than just simultaneously restoring everyone to the exact spot where they died, and Maitimo would know -

Yes, he would, he has it all organized so everyone can be pulled together in a place with someone who can explain what happened and that yes, death is over forever now and their dead relatives can also come back but that'll take some time, and here are resources while everyone's recovering.

Perfect.

Then—here they are. Everyone who died in the aliens' attack, exactly where he wants them.

"Thank you."

"Happy to help."

And now he'd better be off to find out who else needs resurrections. He goes.

And he - actually relaxes - and directs resettlement -

Raika-seren's planetary untraceability power comes in.

Oh, good. He really should manifest his soul, so useful.
