Ayden came to feeling the soft caress of the sheets covering his body. As his eyes snapped open, his body went into defense mode throwing the sheets in hopes of distracting anyone around him then jumping to the side of the bed.
The only thing he could see to use as a weapon was a pencil setting on the nightstand next to him, not being picky he grab it as he landed on the floor weight balanced on the balls of his feet, legs fully bent, pencil held like a ice pic in front of his chest, other hand palm down on the floor ready to spring into action. With his body ready, Ayden began to scan around the room he was in.
The only thing found around him was a hotel room, not to big and on the basic side. The only thing out of place being the startled looking silver haired woman, her mint green eyes bright and fierce. Her body poised and hand outstretched ready for a fight!
As the sheet landed on opposite halves of the room, the thin shine of a short blade could be seen pointed directly at his face.
"Who are you, and what do you want?!" Aydens voice coming out deep slow and deadly. Seemingly unafraid of the blade only a few feet away, as if he could kill her with only a pencil.
Coming to the realization that she had drawn the blade that she always keeps attached to her leg only a few seconds from charging in to attack, but with a flick of her wrist it spun around in her hand and was returned to her sheath. " sorry about that, I'm Luna Ember. I found you in the park passed out..." an awkward smile appearing on her face as she realized Aydens half naked form. " i don't actually want anything,...but please tell me... you're not umm... serious with the pencil right?" A light giggle escaping her lips as she pointed to the pencil in Aydens hands.
Not sensing any immediate danger, and the fact that Lunas blade swipe was so fast and clean even though he had done it out of no where, along with the fact that she could of killed him at any point while he was asleep made Ayden lowered his guard a little and stood up straight. But just to prove a point as he lowered his hand from his chest he did the same trick with the pencil, that Luna did with her blade making the pencil disappear.
With an easy smile, Ayden began to look closer at the room he was in.
"Wellllllll, you know some times the pencil is mightier than the knife" his voice no longer spewing danger.
Luna laughed even harder, so hard that a snort escaped from inside just causing her to double down once again.
"So i gave you my name,... but who are you?" Finally gaining control of her laugh.
"Oh, sorry I'm Ayden... Ayden blackwater"
"Hmmm, haven't heard that name before. Are you not a diver?" Luna couldn't help but ask, as her Curiosity about why he would want a blessing if not to fight haze beast.
"No,...at least not yet. I was planning on going today when i woke up. But seems i wasn't prepared enough to finish what i needed to with my family tome..." as he remembered his stuff being thrown about scattered in the park he began to look for an exit.
"Oh don't worry, your things are just on this side of the bed" she said lifting his tome up from on top of his bag, right next to the bed. "But i couldn't save your shirt!"
As Ayden saw his tome everything from last night began to come into clear focus, the last thing he heard being the weird mechanical voice from who knows what saying something about '[ welcome to the PRIMORDIAL system ] [ quest available ]', but that only lasted a second as his eyes took in his state of undress.
When he looked up at Luna he could see her motion with her chin to the chair next to him where a change of cloths sat.
"Ok i was just waiting for you to wake up to make sure you were ok, as you did quite a bit of screaming before you passed out. But you seem fine!" Luna said as she grabbed the drink on the table next to her, downing it in one go. " don't worry about rushing, my family owns this hotel. You'll be ok for a few more hours if you still want to rest? But i have to meet up with my dive team here in a bit, but i need to go and get some things from home first."
"Thank you for all you've done" genuine sincerity in his voice. Luna only smiling in return.
Without anything else keeping her Luna began to get up to leave. As she went to pick up her bag next to her seat that she picked up from the gym while Ayden was still deep in his unconsciousness, she noticed something lodged in the wall with weird strings come out of it.
When she leaned in to see what the object in the wall could possible be, she noticed it was a pencil with bits of her hair with it just about eye level with where she had been sitting; only off to the side the smallest bit.
With an abrupt movement Luna stood bolt up right, hand going straight to her blade. Before she could even draw it a hand slammed it back into the sheath.
A voice a mere inch from her ear whispered with a deep, slow tone filled with danger "some times there are no conventional ways to kill the boogie man"
Then the hand let go and when turning around she could see Ayden was already back on the other side of the room, hands held up in the air showing he wasn't a threat. Lunas deep olive colored eyes piercing, deadly. Taking the hit to her pride, Luna nodded with understanding
Without another word Luna tossed her bag over her shoulder and left the room, slamming the door as she left. Once on the other side she could fee her heart racing, but not from fear but rather excitement. Her turquoise eyes looking at the door she stood in front of, as if she could see the hazel skinned obsidian haired lean muscled man on the other side called Ayden Blackwater, looking forward to the next time they met. But this only lasted a mere couple of heartbeats of her rapidly pounding heart.
