### Returning Home for the Final Time

Maggda received word that Incubus had been killed and took her children to her homeworld and explained their heritage to them. Unfortunately, the news of Incubus's death was a ruse. They were attacked by Incubus's Incu-Demons who kidnapped Larry and mortally wounded Maureen. Maureen told Eve that she has the power to become a living shadow and open portals to any location she could see in her mind and urging her to master her powers to rescue her brother. Eve returned home while forcing to leave her dying mother behind.
