DEMIGOD: DAWN OF TIME

MAYA!

I woke up to the sound of tweeting from birds. I fluttered my eyes open, suddenly realising that this was the first time I had slept so deep and good, without having to be forcefully woken up by Maya.

Speaking of Maya, how was she now?
What was she doing now?

All these still felt like a dream, but wasn't it high time I accepted that it was all real.

Yesterday just went by in minutes, the reason was probably because it was already evening when we got here. So I never saw anyone till I slept off.

I would have said that it was rude, but it was my fault actually. Because as soon as I hit the very soft bed yesterday, I slept off, without even thinking of having food. It was like the soft bed lured me, and even put my thoughts to sleep.

And now that I'm awake, I am so hungry.

I soon heard a knock on the door, so I immediately got down to open it. Meeting two pretty girls standing in front of me, while holding a tray of food.

I stare at the food, then at the girls.
By now, I knew they were siren girls.

They also stared at me with delight and warmth, and I still wondered why.

But then, one of them spoke "greetings to you daw!!...."
Before she could finish her statement, the other girl hit her in the elbow, causing her to yelp, but then immediately realise something, and change whatever she wanted to say..."I mean....dear human!"

The other girl just sighed and spoke to me "do not mind my friend over here, I think she swallowed a berry" I could notice the sarcasm as she spoke.

"Anyways, we have brought you food to eat, by the queen"
The siren queen?
What a nice queen, there was probably nothing she was gaining in return...

So I decided to stretch my hand to at least take the tray from their hands.
But before I could even move, the two girls have already moved into the room and gently placed the tray on a table by themselves.

They then turned to me, and smiled again. Like I was their good friend or something.

Seriously, what was really going on here...
I don't even feel safe anymore...

And they just walked away..., leaving me standing by the door.

I just sighed and wondered how and when my life turned into this. Oh right, when I decided to turn against my consciousness and stalk my weird uncle Cedric in the night, only to be taken into an unreal world where everything seems abnormal.

You know, I think I am starting to blame my uncle Cedric. Whom I haven't even seen ever since I got here...

So what was there to even appreciate..

I continued raging in my mind as I sat on the bed, unaware of the light that was shining away from me. Until it got bigger, finally attracting my attention.

I then turned my eyes to the sudden light, and almost gasped out loud from my seat to what I was seeing.

Point of correction, whom I was seeing standing in front of me.

It was my maid Maya!

She stood, staring at me as I also stared back not even knowing what or how to speak.

Was it because I was stunned to find her here in this world. Or the fact that she was completely different to how I know she looked like.

She bore a different feature.
She was taller, dressed in some sort of black cloak, all the way down to her feet, covering up her whole body.
But she didn't put the hood on, so I could clearly see her face. Her hair was unimaginably purple, straight, and shabbily cut.
