Selene Terra Firma

13 : Trapped

Waking up, Selene looked outside the window and it's still dark. Today it's Gaia. The first moon that shines out of three.

The first day, like Monday. That certain day, day time and night time will be divided into 12 hours each. You will know it's the first day, because the sky is moonless and you had experience the sun.

Second day, the first moon will rise, the Terra. Terra similar to the moon of the earth, because it's more of white in color when it was up above.

Third day, its the Lua's. If Gaia is white, Lua's yellowish with a stain of red. It was the smallest moon of this world.

The fourth day, it would be the Lovis. Larger than Gaia, it has the biggest size out of three. Also, the color was comperable to the color of the blue sea. It illuminates the whole region of Skotadi.

The fifth day, where the sky is moonless but stars would become visible. Different from the earth. Whenever there's moon, star's hiding. And if it's moonless, the sky will be covered by twinkling light.

Consisting of five days rotation. They don't have Saturday and Sunday. Weekend are not a trend here. It's either, you work for five days or just rest forever.

Although, that is the case, creatures from this world don't need vacation. They had a purpose and they do that for the rest of their lives. It's not tiresome but enjoyable because livings from this world are not choosing the path that they would regret later.

"You're awake," Selene shifted her eyes from the window to the door. Cronus entered. "I brought you food while Ares took the equipment that you will need for transportation."

"Really? I thought that we would go all together?"

"We couldn't put you in risk, it's better for him to go."

"But witches aren't that bad. I actually wanted to see one in person." She pouted walking towards him.

"It's alright, we could see on the border of the regions. Most witches stays there." Selene nodded despite being disappointed. It's already decided, what else can she do? She don't want to be a nuisance, after-all. These two man are helping her to get back home.

She joined Cronus on the table and helped him set it up to have breakfast. They eat in silence. Chewing her food, Selene turned her head to the window to the door.

"Did you feel that?" She asked Cronus when she felt something cold and hot on her skin.

"What's wrong? Did something hurt you?" Cronus iris turned red as he releases his ability seeing Selene is in panic.

"N-no, calm down. I just felt something weird." She said and held his hands to assure him it's nothing. Cronus elevates his ability and sighed.

"Okay, let's continue to eat." As they continued Selene couldn't grasp it but something has really makes her uncomfortable but there's no changes in environment.

Finishing their food, they tidied.

"When do you think will Ares come back?" She asked cleaning the table.

Cronus took all the garbage and piled it to the basket.

"He left two hours ago, the valley is one two hours away. I think he just arrived there. Let's wait for another five hours."

"That long?"

"We told you, witches are hard to deal with."

"...should we do something else while waiting?"

"Something else?" When the table was finally clean, Selene walked up to the bed.

"We never had time to talk before. You never talked about yourself. You always listened to me, how about I listen to you now?" She smiled swaying her legs that was hanged while she's sitting on the bed.
