Once Shurry was inside, he saw his mother Hathor… she looked even more exhausted than she had previously, though there was a clear excitement beneath it that kept her going. However, with everything she was showing now, the most obvious emotion she felt right now was pride. Pride in the fact not a single one of her children failed in leveling up. Shurry smiled in return.
"Mother, you've worked hard these last few hours. Perhaps we should start staggering everyone into groups. Bokhoir and Nernatti are strong enough now to handle running everything down on their own, provided they only bring a small group along with them." He suggested walking close to, and picking Hathor up in a princess carry… bringing her over to the small resting bed in this private room.
He set her down on the bed, to let her relax for a moment, knowing full well no one else was waiting in line for an update. Once he made a move to stand up again, Hathor reached out, and lightly yanked him down, using a small degree of her influence to surprise him, affording herself just enough strength to pull him down into the bed with her. There she cradled him in her arms like she had done for nearly countless nights, gently petting the back of his head. She kept doing this for a while, all while Shurry let her.
"How did you know?" He asked, as he revealed that he'd been hiding something. "I thought I hid it well…" A single tear rolled down from his eye onto the bedding.
"I didn't, there was just a… feeling. Maybe it was more that I wanted to snuggle you close once more, just like I had when you were so much younger. Or maybe I saw you were struggling with those memories again. A lot of them, it really is hard to go through that, no one, regardless of age, ever truly recovers from that." Hathor explained, hitting the nail right on the head. "You may never recover from it, but you're working to not let it control you. When you struggle, I'll do this for you anytime, my precious, handsome, and brave son."
"Thank you, Mot- Mommy." He replied, temporarily regressing to a childish speech for a moment. Not because he was regressing, but the overwhelming resurgence of emotions had finally released, this was their outlet. A way to turn the negative feelings he had, into positive feelings for Hathor… She loved being called mama, and all of those other cute terms. She missed hearing it coming from Shurry.
"No need for thanks, Shurry, my son. You're my little boy, nothing will change that." Hathor said with another round of head scratches and kisses. With every moment she comforted him, she felt better herself. It was as if this moment had always been meant to be. "Now, let's get that status updated."
Shurry removed his vest, revealing the perfectly toned, and muscular body beneath. Seeing such a body would usually fill Hathor with lust, and while there was a moment that did cross her mind, it was temporary… right now all she felt was pride in how far her son had come. To have a physique rivaling the gods was no easy task, even if one had a falna.
Shurry laid back down in the bed, face down. Hathor sat up and startled his body, using his butt as a seat for her own butt. And the drop of blood Ichor fell lighting up his falna in a brilliant glow unlike any other. This time, it wasn't a single pressure wave, it was a whole field, generated to show the intense difference between his previous self, and his now current self.

"Son, you're all done now. My level 11 wolf son." Hathor smiled, laying down on top of Shurry's back, and continued doting on him like a mother does to her child. He just let it happen, it was calming.
"I get the strange feeling I don't need my status written down to know what it is now." He said letting the embracing, and loving moment continue on as long as Hathor desired.
"I'm still going to write it down. I have to share it with your wives, the mothers of your children. They deserve to know how strong you really are." Hathor said, getting up, and moved to get a piece of paper, which she used to write it all out. "Besides, You've got some loving to do. Go make me some more grand babies. With how long I had you with me here, they're probably already waiting for you."
Smiling as he got up, he walked out without putting the vest back on. His hand reached the door. "Mother, I love you. Please take care of the four little ones for a while longer. I'm going to be a little busy giving them siblings." He said, then opened the door and walked out with a calm, and powerful stride, absolutely no wasted movement at all.
Outside the room there was a huge gaggle of people waiting with baited breath to see what would happen. Among them was Zald who nodded with approval. Then nodded in the direction of Shurry's room. To which Shurry went, opened the door, and closed it behind him.
Hathor was finishing up Shurry's status sheet when the other gods came in to have a meeting of their very own. Looking at his status sheet it became abundantly clear now, Shurry's excelia gained from fighting Erebus was now, truly, fully spent. The development ability, Godling, doesn't just appear without a heavy cost. Fortunately it wouldn't be a reproductive one.
