Okay. I'm going to do this right!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
When Hephaestus decided he could leave my island, I decided I could go to bed.
Now, just like any immortal goddess, I hated sleeping.
Hera and Aphrodite would argue that beauty sleep was important, but I couldn't care less. It was only me on this island, and I didn't care what I looked like.
But even though I tried really hard not to, I fell asleep, and I had dreams.

In my dreams, I was watching Leo work at his work table. His face was stuck in the computer screen, and he looked content, but also focused. He tapped away at the keyboard furiously, like he was working really hard on something. I willed my dream-self to change sight and look at the room Leo was in.
My eyes locked on the sleeping dragon found in the corner. He was celestial bronze and had ruby red eyes, with golden wings. There was a plate of bacon beside him, and I had a feeling this was Leo's pet.
Around to the next corner in the room was a clock. Apparently, it was 3:30am, and I was shocked that Leo was still working. But, that's my Repair Boy for Ya. So if you don't like it, too bad.
So, maybe this night wouldn't be so bad after all.
But I spoke too soon.
The dream changed, and I now saw Leo stuck in a cage hanging on a mountain. His hands were lit up on fire, and he was trying to melt the metal bars that surrounded him. He was screaming something, but I guess the dream put him in mute, because I couldn't hear him.
Then the cage moved, and dropped Leo over the cliff.
