Nathan did not hear the commotion that happened outside, his head already hitting the pillow as he quickly rolled onto his back, eyes staring at the ceiling as he went through the events of the day. It had been a somewhat unusual day with meeting so many people, being transported here had been one of the most successful events to happen to him.

He would have been editing and releasing items onto storefronts if he was back home, doing many boring and tedious admin uptakes. His life back then was filled with revenge and hatred as he still felt the wound on his back, the knife again sliding in.

Now he was free, he had the limits of the sky and his imagination to take him far. He relaxed his body as he wondered how he got here, his mind working back on the system that spoke to him. Who was the one who brought him here?

System: Good night Nathan, sweet dreams.

Nathan smiled as he saw this message, his eyes slowly shutting as he pushed the questions to the back of his mind, it was time to rest, and he could ask all of those complicated questions later when he had spent some more time looking.

A figure stood standing above the Valley, overlooking it as the water continued to pour down, fish flying around with some people still enjoying the nightlife and the scenes. This figure was standing way above them all on one of the cliffs that overlooked the valley below.

The almost six-foot figure, flawless porcelain-like face. She looked Timeless in nature as she had an eternal youth to her kind toned face, long black hair coming down her back, perfectly straight and ebony-like colour. She was a flawless person in body, and her smile sent shivers down anyone's spine.

Next to her, slightly behind was another plant-like woman, smaller than Kai with more shrubbery around her leg's and waist, colour more towards a darker blue. She had a softer face and showed emotion as she looked at the woman in front of her.

"Madam, I've had word from Kai that she has found him and she has begun the operation. She will take it from here." The blue plant-like woman was speaking wordlessly into her mind.

"Excellent. We should head away; we have much work to do for him in the future."

"Very good Madam Blackrose, I'll start preparing right now."

Celorian turned to look back at the clusters of tents, happy that her father was enjoying his time here. She knew that timing and placement was everything, she was one of the lucky few who had the power to do such a thing.

Her hand moved to the right, a console menu opening as she opened up another smaller box, a keyboard under it as she would start to type.

System Message: Good night Nathan, sweet dreams.

Her hand was hitting the send button before she would turn around, her body fading into the sandy dunes behind; almost like a ghost who was never around.

Nathan woke the next morning rather early, his body requiring less sleep due to his change, if he actually wanted to, he could go without sleep entirely. His arms were stretched as he pulled himself from the bed, moving out into the central area as he could see the night sky above.

His body taking him outside the tent as he noticed a familiar face standing guard on the side of the tent, his eyes focusing as he started to smile, the woman looking back at him with a nervous expression as he merely began to laugh.

"Kaye please do not be nervous. How are you going to cope when around me."

He said with a big smile as he still saw some people around, a few soldiers still up on guard and a few others who seemed to be cleaning clothes at the river, some bathing at this time and even a couple who had caught the fish, gutting them and starting to cook them in different ways.

Kaye stood silent for a moment as she looked at the man who she offended, while she had apologised and he had accepted, it still made for an awkward moment because she did insult a supposed god not too long ago.

Her eyes were looking at him directly as she just bowed her head with respect as she listened to the words, a smile cracking on her face as she just nodded her head to him. "I guess you are right. How can I a person of great heritage become so humble!"

She joked as she saw Nathan's smile increase as well.

"I see you also drew the unlucky slot of nightshift as well."

Kaye just laughed at that part, her eyes looking away as it was her self-imposed punishment, maybe it was also a chance to run away from her mistake as she had never guessed she would meet the Demigod again.

"You can say that, may I ask why you are up so late?"

Nathan started to move towards the River, Kaye following him as she was supposed to guard people from this tent, another man taking over from her as she followed him.

"Well, it's not that. I went to bed, and after a few hours I could not just lay around and be lazy now!"

Kaye felt her heart jump as she listened to that, the man only slept for nearly two or three hours at most, yet he was back up. She usually had to get at least eight or nine hours; she could even take more hours to get rested.

"That's impressive I guess, Demigods are scary!"

She said laughing as she walked past the remaining tents, moving up to the river.

"I do not need sleep at all; I simply do it because It's nice."

Kaye looked to him confused as she looked back towards the water, watching as the many fish inside slowly came to the surface, looking at the man at her side.

"Why even bother to sleep, If I was like you I would never sleep, able to get so much done!"

She said with another smile, a light giggle escaping her lips as she saw those same fish starting to grow in numbers, a considerable amount now coming to the surface.

Nathan sat by the river, taking his shoes and socks off as she slid his feet into the water, his smile growing as he watched the fish scatter due to his feet being pressed so close.

"Sometimes Its just nice to let yourself go, to embrace the darkness. Nothingness is not that bad, its a time to rest and relax, recovering the soul. Life is hard, and we need to take it easy sometimes."

Kaye looked to him, her face in awe at his words, though turning to worry as she looked back at the water.

"Nathan..."

"Hmm, Yes Kaye?"

"The fish is biting your toe..."

Nathan looked back at the water, lifting his left foot out, one of the larger flying fish stuck to his foot as it was merely gumming his toe, lucky for him these fish did not have any teeth or sharp points inside otherwise his toe would be a mess.

"Stupid Flying Fish!"

Kaye would laugh again, her time enjoyable around this man and those words gave her much wisdom.
