Her Name is Stella!

He watched as the startled woman dropped a piece of wrap that was in her hands. On the table was the plate from which he ate everyday filled with some chicken.

"You're… the women from yesterday right?" Sky asked, realizing he had seen her before as he stood back up.

"Um… yes." She said shyly.

"I'm sorry for scaring you like that…" Sky said.

"No, no it's fine." She said quickly.

She bent over and picked up the wrap and finished covering the piece of chicken as Sky watched. She then quickly started moving towards the door and down the stairs, rushing to leave.

"Um," Sky stopped her just as she was about to take the first step down the stairs, "Would you like to… talk for a bit?" He asked awkwardly.

A smile grew on her face. "I'd love to." She said.

Together the two went inside. She beckoned Sky to sit at the table while she entered the kitchen. Sky watched with interest as she opened cabinets that he'd never even thought to open, revealing plates, some vegetables, spices and other herbs. She then moved over to the fridge and pulled out a container of milk. Sky's interest grew more and more as she walked over to the stove and started brewing something.

Before long she joined him at the table with two mugs of something warm.

"Miracle Tea." She said, placing the mug in front of Sky and sitting down across from him.

There was an awkward silence as Sky opened the wrap and began eating while she sipped the tea quietly.

"Is it good?" She asked.

Sky smiled. "It's some of the best food I've ever had." Sky said after emptying his mouth.

Suddenly she began to radiate happiness as a giant smile found its way towards her mouth. After Sky had finished eating he took a sip of the tea, immediately feeling the fatigue of the day disappear and his body relax.

"And that?" She asked quietly.

"I don't think I've ever had something like this before, What's in this?" Sky asked with a bright face.

Her ears suddenly turned a bit red. "It's a tea that's brewed from a wide mixture of herbs, for each person it has a different effect, it's said that for some it even works like ambrosia." She said, staring at the mug in her hands.

"What does it do for you?" Sky asked.

"Nothing." She responded.

Sky stopped talking, thinking of what to say next.

"But I can see that it does a lot for you!" She smiled.

A silence crept in between the two, sitting annoyingly like a barrier before Sky took a deep breath and broke it.

"I'm Sky, What's your name?" He asked.

She smiled. "Everyone knows your name, it's kinda useless to introduce yourself you know…" She poked fun at him, watching him move uncomfortably then laughing.

"I'm Stella, daughter of Dionysus." She said.

"Were you the one taking care of me?" Sky asked, recognizing the taste in his mouth to be Miracle Tea.

She nodded.

Sky looked down at the bandages on his hands. "And these too?" He asked.

"Only on your upper body, Atlas was the one who did your lower body." She responded, saying the last part a bit shyly.

Sky thought for a moment, wondering why she would go to such lengths when there was Atlas and so many others who could have done the same.

"Why?" Sky asked, catching her by surprise, "Why go out of your way to take care of me?" He clarified.

"You probably don't remember me… but I was with you in the dungeon." She said.

Sky almost dropped the mug in his hands as a strange chill ran through his spine.

"You see, my mother was a pub owner in Rhiner, and one day Carla came to get me," She started, "Hesitantly, my mother said yes allowing me to come but once I did they realized that I didn't have any powers, that I was a full-blood."

Sky squinted. "What's a full-blood?" Sky asked.

"It's what they call people who have a godly parent but none of the parents' powers." She said as a tear trickled down her face.

She took a shaky breath. "So they threw me into the dungeon and only brought me out to cook for the soldiers, since that was the only thing I was good at." She pursed her lips.

"But then after a short while you came, and slowly things started to change, the dungeon felt… happier." She said with a smile, "And then you disappeared for a while and suddenly came back to say that you'll save us."

"Honestly it was hard to take you seriously, a twelve year old boy who suddenly appears saying that he'll save us from a life that we'd been living since we'd gotten there," She said, "We all doubted you…"

"Just because I'm twelve doesn't mean I can't do anything!" Sky said a bit frustratedly, "How old are you then?!"

"I'm sixteen…" She said watching a confused and angry look crawl onto Sky's face before she started laughing at him.

"But when the roof suddenly started disappearing, and the three moons started pulling us out one by one and taking us away, it finally felt like the nightmare was over…" She continued again, "When we came here and the people welcomed us openly, we were all so, so happy… so happy."

Sky studied her face, her glowing eyes, her smile and the sudden posture change as she sat openly and comfortably.

"But then they brought you," She started once again, "You were covered in blood and heavily injured.

"I thought that to thank you, I could take care of you, then once you're fully healed I could thank you in person." She said as she stood up.

She moved over into the open space between the table, bed and door and lowered her head in a bow. "So thank you Sky, for saving us." She said.

Sky stared as slowly his eyes widened. For the first time, a strange lightness and giddiness filled him. A goofy smile grew on his face as he leaned against the back of the chair, a strange relaxation filling him.

"ANYTIME!" He said happily.

Sky finished his tea and watched as Stella grabbed it, cleaned the dishes and left. He stared at her as she walked down the stairs and disappeared behind a nearby building. Sky looked up at the bright moon above head and the clear sky full of stars. taking in a heavy breath as something dawned on him.

"Hey Silk!" He said out loud, not knowing whether or not he would still be following him.

A gust of wind blew followed by a shadow coming over him. When Sky turned around, Silk was standing on the roof of his house, his cloak blowing in the wind as he looked down at him.

"What do you want?" He said.

"Wow… that actually worked." Sky said back with a grin, seeing irritation build in Silk's eyes.

"I'm leaving." He suddenly turned around.

"Wait! Wait!" Sky suddenly shouted, "Do you know where Atlas will be tomorrow?"

"Same place he was yesterday." Silk said before vanishing.

Sky nodded and went back inside, turning the light off and heading to bed.
