After being on the run for three days covered in a hooded cloak she runs towards the light she sees before her. It was early morning and the fog finally settled. Once she arrived at the door she knocks profusely. Inside, the owner of the home the owner is awakened suddenly. Nudging her wife who hadn’t budged she continues to shake her stirring her fully from her sleep.

“Wife why do you disturb me, “she says goggling still half asleep.

“There is a disturbance at the door!”

“A disturbance I hear of no such thing go back to bed and rest, “she says turning back over.

“I cannot.”

“If you cannot find sleep maybe I should put you to bed again, “she says rolling back over facing her wife. As she leans in to kiss her she hears the pounding noise at the door. Staring at her wife she is now filled with worry as who could be that home this time of morning. Getting out of bed she dresses and grabs both of her swords silently signaling to her wife to remain quiet and disclosed. Leaving her bedroom she carefully approaches her door with her swords drawn. As she stood on the other side of the door the knocks grew more impatiently and erratic. On her count she grabs the door knob swinging it open quickly positioning herself opposite of the door hinges. As the door swung open the unexpected visitor was greeted with two swords inches away from her face.

“Identify yourself at once!”

Removing the hooded cloak covering her face, “My apologies it is I——-.”

“Gaia, “the owner says in shock.

“Yes, I know my presence is unexpected may I please come in?”

“Yes, yes of course,”she says moving out of the way allowing her entry into her home.

Once she was inside completely the owner stares at Gaia curious as to why she showed up at her home. Gaia realizing an immediate explanation was needed clears her throat before speaking.

“It’s been a long time old friend.”

“Yes it has Gaia.”

Walking towards her Gaia wraps her arms around her neck the embrace was welcomed as the owner wrapped her arms around her waist in a warm embrace pulling back then smiling at her.
