Persie feels himself walking on wet ground but it’s translucent with everything so bright. It feels so beautifully light that he ends up in a wonderful room, filled with red flowers and blue seeds. He sits down on the ground and just enjoys it and then feels someone sitting next to him, Aiah. She lays her head on his shoulder with her hand on his thigh and he cuddles up to her as well. 

Aiah: I can’t believe I can finally move again…all thanks to you my love..

Persie kisses her forehead: Your love was enough to stir my confidence and heal my heart when it was broken. *holds her hand* It’s nice to just be able to sit outside and not have you worry so much…Look at you. *looks at her* Your hair is pure sunlight, your skin is the lightest gold-etched marble, your eyes are the deepest and most beautiful of rubies…you are perfection always but now you are you. *he smiles deeply at her*

Aiah: Hehe to think your tongue is so skilled you can make a Goddess blush~. -she cups his cheek and rests their foreheads together- You are too good to me.

Persie smiles and nudges his nose against hers: No I'm not, I’m what you needed to get you back to you. And you are what I needed to help me know who I am…my love. *kisses her deeply*

Aiah: -she returns his kisses and runs her fingers through his hair- Mmm~ heh we should go inside my love~. -she looks into his eyes and her eyes widen- No…not yet… -she covers his eyes and sighs- No more wandering…

Persie tries to call out as he’s whooshed back into dreamless sleep.

He wakes up and it’s morning now: Mmmmm it’s morning already? *he rolls over and Autumn is now beside him with breakfast* Mmmm? *rolls back over and screams* Autumn!!?? You scared me?? Holy shit!

Autumn: -she bows- Apologies. It was not my intention to scare you. I brought breakfast to your room for your convenience. 

Persie, sits up and rubs his head and smiles sleepily: Thank you Autumn, I am starving honestly. *pets her head once* Sorry for yelling..

Autumn: I took no offense, but your apology is appreciated. Please excuse me, I have a strawberry tart in the oven for the Goddess and it must come out perfectly.

Persie: That actually sounds delicious…hopefully I can see her in a bit..*grabs the tray and starts eating* Mmmm thank you so much Autumn!

Autumn: Of course. -she bows and leaves him-

Persie, looks at the door as it closes and eats slower: Mmmmm *thinks of last night and blushes* Why did I go to her room? I’m so confused…I…think I…like her a lot…maybe even more than that…*his blush extends as he thinks about the silk robe and then eats more to try to sway his mind from more passionate thoughts* Mmm so so good. 

Persie finishes his food after some time and then gets dressed for the day, coming to the throne room to see if Aiah is there.

Aiah: -she’s sitting on her throne, surrounded by several stacks of paperwork, far more than she usually has-

Persie: *he comes in, his head is still down but he comes to the stairs* Ummm My Goddess?

Aiah: -she’s still reading through the papers- Yes dear? Is everything alright?

Persie: Just saying Good morning. Have a good day. *he bows*

Aiah: -she blinks a few times and looks down at him- …What’s the matter dear?

Persie: Nothing. I am sorry for last night honestly. I am about to go see the kids and wish them a good afternoon. *he doesn’t look at her*

Aiah: My dear…you have nothing to be sorry for. You did nothing wrong..why won’t you look at me?

Persie looks up at her but he looks sad and embarrassed: I don’t know I felt…embarrassed. I guess? I didn’t like that I just came in, I should’ve been more thoughtful and cautious.

Aiah: Heh come here dearest.

Persie: …What?...

Aiah: Come up here.

Persie: *looks up at her and then comes up the stairs slowly* Mmmm…?

Aiah: -she kneels down and hugs him softly- I don’t mind your visits, don’t be sorry.

Persie, puts his head in her neck* I…thank you. I would like to talk to you more if possible. *hugs her back* I don’t know how I end up in certain areas, I don't mean to wander so much. I just get…curious but I did want to thank you.

Aiah: -she pulls back enough to look at him- How about this, while you aren’t doing your work with Aralan or busy with your studies, I will allow you to explore and wander the Sanctuary. The deeper parts that only I and my children may go. Hehe you can try to find all the little pieces of my collections. Will that help satiate that wandering spirit of yours?

Persie’s face lights up: Really? I would love to! I’ve wanted to walk around for quite some time and it’s just nice to see different things that I know you may have. As I'm here, I want to learn more about what you’ve seen either through your books or through how you work. I’ve always wanted to know how things play out for you. I’m just a mortal so it’s nice to talk to a goddess every so often to get a different perspective on existence.

Aiah: -she giggles quietly- Then you may wander. The temple will open itself to new places daily for you. And whatever you may find I will answer any questions. Heh I’ve allowed Ra and Adrian to play this game as well and it has led to very lengthy bedtime stories.

Persie blushes: Heh that’s beautiful…but I am not one of your children nor a child. I would like stories though. *cups her cheek* Thank you for letting me in…*he lets go* Well Ima go see the kids before I head off to see my friend, i’ll probably be gone for the day.

Aiah: –she sits back in her throne- Enjoy your time dearest.

Persie nods and sits off to find Ra and Addy who are working on some spells to prepare for school: Hi you two!

Ra: Hey Persie! Did you get some good sleep?

Adrian: Hi Persie! We missed you the last couple days!

Persie: Aww thanks guys! I really have been so so busy, but today I get to just chill. I wanted to just drop in and tell you that you guys are great and I can’t wait to see how you grow up. *he smiles at both of them*

Adrian: -he smiles brightly and runs over to him and gives him a big tight hug- You’re so awesome, thanks for being our friend! 

Ra comes over to and hugs him as well. Persie hugs both of them and stays for a second just to feel that hug. 

Persie: Thank you, both of you. I’ll be back later in the evening. I’m going to be at my friend’s house to tell him everything that happened. *he pats their backs and they let him go*

Adrian: Aww okay…Do you wanna have a movie night with us tonight when you get back?

Ra: Yes!!!! Let’s watch “Ugly Golems”! *she claps her hands excitedly*

Persie: “Ugly Golems”? Sounds interesting…sure I don’t mind. *his phone buzzes and he checks it* Oh that’s him, I gotta get going.

Persie waves to them as he exits to go to the front. He gets to the door and heads to the carriage, hopping in and being taken to Ajii’s dorm. 

Persie hops out and says goodbye to Clover: See you later!

He runs up to Ajii’s dorm and does a rhythmic beat and says: Yo yo Bitch boiiii!

A nightmare mage comes out and says: Yo shut the fuck up some of us are tryin’ to sleep!!

Persie, laughs but stays as chill as possible: My bad yo. 

Aiji: -he yanks the door open- You dick, now my neighbors are pissed. Get in here dork.

Persie: *comes in the room* What’s up my good bitch? How are you?

Aiji: -he laughs- I’d be better if you weren’t pissing off the whole dorm floor with your improvised drum solos.

Persie: My bad my bad, I was just excited to tell you the news! Hehehehe Can I get an amateur drumroll please?

Aiji: -he rolls his eyes but gives him a drum roll with his hands on the arm of his couch- And for today's royal announcement~.

Persie: I got Parliament with the help of Aiah’s binding decree to finally start on Aralan and Sifinica’s restoration! Ha suck it Prime Minister Vesta! *he bounces up and down and has a cheeky smirk on his face* Hehe I showed them for real. The one interesting part though…was Metatron. He is interesting in a bad way but he actually sided with me and said he would pay for everything, that the rest of Parliament has to deal with the actual starting of construction. But Metatron seemed to want to invite me for tea…I just…that guy is weird as fuck..

Aiji: One; Congratulations! You are seriously making such a big difference I’m so proud of you -he gives him a big tight hug- And two; -he pulls back and looks at him- For the love of everything that exists in this world do not ever go to tea with that man he likes pretty boys. Secretly. And makes sure the ones he takes can never talk about it. He’s giga weird.

Persie: No, I figured, I got the biggest ewwww response. But I’m so excited! We did it and Mr. Morozov helped a lot, he really set the tone that Aralan NEEDS help not just wants help. They took a vote and two-thirds of the room were like yes. I think it’s also because he said “It would be better than living in Dzular” and no parliament that actually wants to be seen as benevolent, especially mages want to be compared to Dzular, that’s like someone slapping your favorite child. Hahahah.

Aiji: -he laughs- Yeah you’re not wrong. Keep an eye on Mr. Morozov though okay? You put him in the public eye and some mages and families can get a little..butt hurt when they don’t get their way.

Persie: I will try my best, although when I’m gone, it won’t be as easy so maybe…I could probably ask the goddess and she can spare someone to just watch and check on him secretly? Possibly. I know she was very happy with the results…but also oh man hearing her voice ring out from the scroll was insane. Like in one of those fantasy genres we used to watch, it was wild but super cool. *he smiles thinking about that type of aura* 

Aiji: -he smirks- I’m sure~. Heh anyways, seriously dude I’m proud of you. Can’t wait to help when I volunteer over there.

Persie: Oh man you’ll help a lot. Thank you for being my coach also now…I can finally enjoy this summer. I haven’t been able to as much. Oooh, didn't Lucid City open up a theme park, “Lumos Magica”. We can go today if you want!!

Aiji: -he grins widely at him- Lucky for you I have a season fast pass! Let’s do it!

Persie: Hell yeah! *he jumps up* Getting on all the rides and eating food. Come on, let's go!
