The Earthlings native and adopted stay in Marlatia, hiding uneventfully in the guest room, for several days. Isabella immortalizes king and queen both when they sneak her to a sufficiently large, empty, and unoccupied room to do it in. When Adarin has enough mana he makes mirror pairs for each of their majesties to contact their counterpart - Isabella's portal bag is kind of accumulating mirrors at this point. And when he has more mana still, Iobel finds a slightly-bigger-than-door-sized plank and a set of hinges and some screws and combines all these objects on the ceiling of a lockable room on the first floor but out of the way, currently serving as storage for a lot of broken musical instruments that someone once probably identified as probably repairable. This plank gets a portal on it, and the Earthlings go home.
After catching up on business - and allowing time to recover mana, again - and getting their Marlatian alts a laptop each, and putting a router and chargers within easy reach of the portal on their side, which is also on a sheet of wood but is kept in their basement propped up against a wall -
Isabella snuggles up to her husband and suggests searching the planes for more of themselves.

"I have a lot of demands on my time, and additionally, the spell does strictly require calling on witch goddesses. Apart from that, though, my limiting factor is herbs."
"I will help with herbs as well as I can," agrees Perinixu. "I will... Tolerate you calling on other goddesses in my domain. Now that there is proof that you may beat death. Might I meet their acolytes, so I might judge them?"

"My goddesses don't work like your kind of god. All witches can call on their power. Witches being all female children of previous witches. You're not going to get any closer to the idea of an acolyte for them than me."
Pause.
"I see. Very well. You... Tentatively have my approval."

"The landscape's changed and I don't have my map. Where would be a good place for me to pick up some holy water?"
Perinixu gives directions. It's reasonably close by to where they are.

Aya goes to the nearest temple, introduces herself as an acolyte to the priests there, is mysterious about how she has appeared, collects vials of water, solicits directions to a restaurant, and then leads her alt, alt's husband, and friend there.

It's a pleasant little restaurant. They get strange looks and people recognize that two members of the party are acolytes. They are then given a really nice spot with an excellent view of a waterfall. Aya in particular is treated especially nicely. Not out of fear, but this is Perinixu's domain, they would like to be extremely nice to an acolyte of her.
Adarin and Isabella get strange looks too, for their choices of fashion and Adarin's hair style, but no one comments.
"I wonder how much the world's changed," says Idania, plopping into her seat.

The waiter is confused, but then names the year.
It's over a hundred years after Aya's death.
Idania whistles. "Guess neither of us have to worry about exes showing up and being awkward."

"I wasn't really worried about that anyway. This does mean I'm going to need to get a new house."
onthewind
"Yeah, me too. Guess I get to pick a new spot for it, then! I will go exploring Rae's domain after we rescue your hoverbike, I can find a place with a nice view. Then I try and play catch up."

"Ideally it would be inconvenient to get to for random other people."

"Up a mountain, maybe, I can bike it no trouble, you and Idania can fly, everyone else who wants to talk to me would have better luck waiting for me to show up at a temple?"
onthewind
"I can live up a mountain, if we can build a house there. If it's near Rae's domain or even in it I'll go there and we can be neighbors! It'll be fun. Like old times, when you first arrived."
onthewind
"Hmmm," says Idania. She retrieves a vial of holy sand and addresses it. "Rae, are there any mountains that border you and Perinixu? We're going to have the visitors put a portal there and if it's convenient Aya and I could be neighbors and live there." Pause. ".... Awww. Awww. I will hug you, you are adorable. Thanks!"
Vial of sand goes back to its place. "There isn't, but there's one by Perinixu's and Rae will tweak his borders to help."

Idania giggles. "We are! I wonder how long it'll take people to start thinking we're a couple again. It's funny every time."
onthewind
"Nope. I mean, I guess there might be some weird gods out there, but - no. It would be really weird to date my god."
