[Charlia]

She didn't say a word.

He dreamed of fire, of death, of burning, of war, of famine, of lust, of greed, of doom --
"Gah!" He bolted awake. "A-Amy?"

"I'm still here."

Was that supposed to be therapeutic?

I hate therapists.

A voice came from his back. "That wasn't therapeutic..." Tet just waved at him.

"You're kind of disturbing, you know that?"

[Cruxa]

He dreamed of fire, of death, of burning, of war, of famine, of lust, of greed, of doom --
"Gah!" He bolted awake. "A-Amy?"

"I'm still here."

"You..." He splutters into silence. "Thank you."

[Charlia]

"I'm still here."

"You..." He splutters into silence. "Thank you."

She looked at him quizzically.

"For what?"

[Finsternia]

He dreamed of fire, of death, of burning, of war, of famine, of lust, of greed, of doom --
"Gah!" He bolted awake. "A-Amy?"

"I'm still here."

A voice came from his back. "That wasn't therapeutic..." Tet just waved at him.

"You're kind of disturbing, you know that?"

"With all ths horrors that you have seen, you are getting afraid of a small child?" He giggled and his voice filled the dark forest.

[Charlia]

"I'm still here."

"You're kind of disturbing, you know that?"

"With all ths horrors that you have seen, you are getting afraid of a small child?" He giggled and his voice filled the dark forest.

"I'm not afraid of you," he corrected.

"I said you were kind of disturbing. I'm impressed."

[Cruxa]

"You..." He splutters into silence. "Thank you."

She looked at him quizzically.

"For what?"

"For saying yes. For being here. For being kind."

[Finsternia]

"With all ths horrors that you have seen, you are getting afraid of a small child?" He giggled and his voice filled the dark forest.

"I'm not afraid of you," he corrected.

"I said you were kind of disturbing. I'm impressed."

"Quite weird that you find a god of games as someone disturbing." He smiled innocently.

[Charlia]

She looked at him quizzically.

"For what?"

"For saying yes. For being here. For being kind."

"Oh." She thought for a moment before responding with a simple "You're welcome."

"I'm not afraid of you," he corrected.

"I said you were kind of disturbing. I'm impressed."

"Quite weird that you find a god of games as someone disturbing." He smiled innocently.

"Games to extend to mind games..." He grinned.

[Finsternia]

"Quite weird that you find a god of games as someone disturbing." He smiled innocently.

"Games to extend to mind games..." He grinned.

"Ohoho, I wonder what you are talking about~" He cheerfully clapped his hands and floated to Loki. When he was at Loki's side, he whispered, "Beware and fear the dragon and the crystal king. Flee or face your fears." He just smiled at Loki like nothing happened. "I'll be going Loki. It's already late and there's still class tomorrow." He then vanished, finally vanished.

Riddles...

But I'm not going to solve them tonight.


He returned to his room and fell asleep, falling into who knew what dark dreams...

[Finsternia]

Regalion finally reached his room when he saw a figure sitting on one of the two beds. "Hello, Tet." The god of games just looked up at Regalion. "Hi, fellow Ruler of Heaven." Regalion just sighed, pulled off his cloak and changed his clothes. "It is a little known fact that I am the leading deity of the Valyrian Pantheon. Perhaps do me a favor and do not tell it to others." Tet just clapped his hands. "You've done much psychological trauma to him no?" Regalion sighed. "If that's what it takes for him to realize that he is not only lying to others but also to himself." Tet studied the god of dragons. "Why are you interested on him though?" He was just greeted by silence and Regalion turned his back at the god of games, shifting in the cotton blanket. "Personal reasons. Now let us sleep." Then the lights turned off.

[Skyline United]

Mason is standing back at the construction site, drawing something, until Inari shows up.
Inari walked up to Mason, "What are you drawing?"
He quickly swiped his hand and it vanished. "N-nothing.."
She let out a loud sigh, "Why don't you just tell her?"
Mason, now with a slight smile on his face, calmly replied, "Some things can't be explained."
"Well, you should still tell her something." She giggled.
"Maybe I will, the next time I see her.."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Sage was rolling around on the ground, laughing as hard as a small fox could.

He's so predictable.

People are like that...

So funny.

[Cruxa]

"For saying yes. For being here. For being kind."

"Oh." She thought for a moment before responding with a simple "You're welcome."

"You seem distant. Like you don't really... care."

So funny.

He is predictable. Should we do something?

[Charlia]

"Oh." She thought for a moment before responding with a simple "You're welcome."

"You seem distant. Like you don't really... care."

She smiled sadly.

"I have to be distant. I'm the sun. If I get too close... people get burned."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Yeah.

Yeah, we should.

"You seem distant. Like you don't really... care."

"I have to be distant. I'm the sun. If I get too close... people get burned."

"Then burn me. I'd rather be burning hot than freezing cold. Also, how hot do you think it is in Hell?"

[Pot4toes]

Regalion just sighed. "Both of you are in the wrong side of the coin. Artemis, you refuse Tyr's words and set your wrath on him even though you aren't the one whom he speaks of. You refuse his words of accusations for this man," He gestured to Loki, "and act as if you own him and you have the responsibility to defend him. Perhaps you should see his records." In a burst of light, a scroll appeared in his right hand and he tossed it to Artemis. "I wouldn't be called the god of knowledge just for nothing." He turned to Tyr. "You mean well, my fellow god of war, yet you didn't let the girl know Loki more. Experience and pain are the best teachers after all. And as the common fault of our domain, we always let our anger get the rest of us. And don't tell me that Loki is evil. Evil is only a word used by humans to describe things in their moral scale and Loki has done those things in the past for reasons in which his family is most in fault." He then raised his eyebrow. "Where in fact, you are part of it."

Artemis held the scroll in her hands. "Thank you for this conversation." She walked back to her dorm, trying to stay calm as possible.
What could he mean by that?
What could it mean?
She opened the scroll, and there was the record. She could not believe what she just read.

He's done so much,
and been through so much,
what am I going to do now?
His family hates him!
They hated him far before most of this happened.
I'm not the most liked in the family tree either.
HIS SON CUT OFF A GUY'S HAND! THE GUY HAS A SON!
I've done worse things than that. Besides, my Dad has lots of kids.
You've got to remember he killed his brother's wife.
She must have been a jerk. If Apollo got married, I'd probably do the same.
But-
No. Maybe I should go talk to him about it.

She walked over to Loki's dorm, but the door was closed.
Might as well leave him a note. She left a note on his door and headed off to bed. Here's the note:

Don't worry about the record, I'm not mad at all. If you want to talk sometime, let me know.
-Artemis

[Charlia]

She smiled sadly.

"I have to be distant. I'm the sun. If I get too close... people get burned."

Yeah.

Yeah, we should.

What should we do?

...I don't know...

Loki was a light sleeper.

He heard her footsteps and read the note, and broke into a smile.

He wanted to talk to her right then...

But she probably needed sleep.

So he went back to sleep himself.

She smiled sadly.

"I have to be distant. I'm the sun. If I get too close... people get burned."

"Then burn me. I'd rather be burning hot than freezing cold. Also, how hot do you think it is in Hell?"

She laughed. "Then in place of the darkness, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!"

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore shone light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Lucifer, seeming tall beyond measure, and beautiful beyond enduring. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and she was shrunken: a slender girl in a simple yellow and white kimono, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

"I cannot promise it will be as you hope. But I can promise that I will try to understand love."

[Skyline United]

What should we do?

...I don't know...

Your the smart one, not me.....We should meet up again, but this time we'll think this through!

[Charlia]

...I don't know...

Your the smart one, not me.....We should meet up again, but this time we'll think this through!

Yeah...

Wait, I am? Aw, thanks. You're sweet.

[Cruxa]

"Then burn me. I'd rather be burning hot than freezing cold. Also, how hot do you think it is in Hell?"

She laughed. "Then in place of the darkness, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!"

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore shone light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Lucifer, seeming tall beyond measure, and beautiful beyond enduring. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and she was shrunken: a slender girl in a simple yellow and white kimono, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

"I cannot promise it will be as you hope. But I can promise that I will try to understand love."

"You're beautiful," he said quietly. His eyes were the color of setting suns.

[Skyline United]

Your the smart one, not me.....We should meet up again, but this time we'll think this through!

Yeah...

Wait, I am? Aw, thanks. You're sweet.

Your welcome. Now, come over here to the construction site.

[Charlia]

Yeah...

Wait, I am? Aw, thanks. You're sweet.

Your welcome. Now, come over here to the construction site.

Coming!

And she did, running all the way there.

She laughed. "Then in place of the darkness, you would have a queen! Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn!"

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore shone light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Lucifer, seeming tall beyond measure, and beautiful beyond enduring.

"I cannot promise it will be as you hope. But I can promise that I will try to understand love."

"You're beautiful," he said quietly. His eyes were the color of setting suns.

Or, as she preferred to think of his eyes, the color of rising suns.

"Thank you."

Then she smiled.

"Take my hand."

She reached out.
