"Sersi, how do you know?" I asked my friend.
"Know what?"
"That this is the person you love?" I said looking at Druig, who was playing with Makkari and natives.
"You just know Namya" she answered. "You just know."

"Namya, what a coincidence", Sersi said a little bit confused but reached with her arms towards me. "Long time", she added.
"Very long", I laughed. Keep this situation cool, nothing suspicious here.
"I am really confused right now", Timmy said. He gave us both a look. I know that Sersi looks older than me, just a bit, but inside we are the same age.
"We're old friends", my eternal friend said, giving me a small wink.
"Sersi, is there someone else?" I could've sworn I sensed someone. And my "gift" never disappointed me yet. She mouthed 'Sprite' and I went looking around to spot her. Where could she hide? I mean, she looks like a girl and a pub is not a place for her. Only because of her appearance.
"So, it's your birthday Dane", I said. "And I didn't introduce myself", I slapped my face. "Namya. Namya Sikari" I reached for his hand, but he quickly grabbed me in a hug. We are feeling a little bit comfy today.
"It's lovely to meet you. Tim always talks about you", he said. Oh, Timmy...
"Everything good I hope?" I looked over my shoulder to my colleague. He wasn't bad looking. Not at all. He was... decent. Just blonde guy isn't my type.
"Yeah..." he laughed. In the second Sersi came out with the cupcake cake and one small candle at top of it, singing the 'Happy birthday!' song to Dane. I leaned on the wall, looking how happy she is, and started questing my life. How's Druig doing? Does he miss me? Does he know I miss him?
"You look off" I heard a voice. Familiar.
"Sprite, here's where you hid", I smiled. "And I'm okay, usual."
"You went to your magical place, where everything is happy, there are flowers and fairies", she said with a judgmental voice. I looked at her confused.
"No? Was thinking about others", I said back. She just crossed her arms and looked at me. "And here we go, we meet after 500 years and you're judging me after 40 seconds."
"I just stated facts", she looked then at her watch. "11 pm", she went to the hallway. I heard some mumbling about going home.
That got me thinking. So I wanna stay with Timmy and hang out with him... or went after my eternal friends? Have a reunion?
Nearly 5 minutes later I grabbed my coat, said goodbye to my coworker and went out. Sensing Sersi and Sprite was easy now, a good thing we met. They were walking near the Thames, talking about Dane and the truth. He doesn't know. And he'll be devastated and off when he finds out Sersi. 'Don't tell him', I yelled in my thoughts. Then I saw it. A Deviant. In the 21st century.
"GOO!!" I yelled at Dane and sprinted to the girls, taking my dagger out of boots. Sersi created a quicksand and I throw a dagger at him. He was stuck, but for not so long.
"Let's go!" Sersi said and we all went back running.
"What's that doing here?!" I was shocked. I thought we killed them all. We were supposed to kill them. Where they had been for 500 years?
"What is that thing!?" Dane asked.
"A Deviant!" Sprite yelled.
"You said you killed them all!", oh Sprite, let the cat out of the bag, say everything to him. Reveal my identity. Where's Ajak and her consequences?
They were arguing whether Dane's belief or not when Deviant started to break free.
"Guys..." we stopped. In one moment, with Sersi I started running towards Deviant. Sprite was shouting to us. Then we jumped over the fence and climbed on the bridge. He quickly followed us. Seconds later Sprite joined us and created an illusion. We were circling him. In my mind, I traced the path that dagger could take. But my daggers didn't kill them. They're useless now. What is happening?
"It knows where we are!" Sprite shouted. Then, she fell. A few more seconds and she would be dead. Someone strong came. Pushed a Deviant into the store. Then the yellow shots were seen.
"Ikaris..." I said quietly. I quickly looked at Sersi. She was shocked. No wonder. Her love for him is still visible.
But a Deviant wasn't dead yet. Every shot from Ikaris' eyes wasn't fatal. He regenerated. That was unusual. They weren't able to do this. Never. The game changed its rules.
Ikaris put him into the river. And then the police came. Sprite made us invisible, but you still would have felt the tension between Sersi and her lovers. And why am I in the middle of this?

We started to adapt to the new reality. Most of the Deviants here were killed. People of Mesopotamia could peacefully live with their families. And us. We could blend in. Feel what is to have a family. Being loved...
Love.
It seemed that the feeling was growing between Sersi and Ikaris. They seemed happy, always sneaking out to the beach. Complemented each other.
And I stood there. Watching them. Feeling their emotions. With different strengths, depending on the action.
"What is love anyway?" I asked myself. Didn't know that someone is behind me. Watching me. Trying to make a move. Only when I turned back did I see a scrap of his cape. "Druig..." and here my senses confused me.
And for the rest of the day and probably one month, I was thinking about him.
But nothing happened. He stayed hostile. And so do I.

Oh my god
Whole 2 months? I believe? But here I am. Back at it.
But I don't like this chapter. Do something better next time, just tell me if you are still here.
