1st Pov]
As I had said earlier this is Earth without 21 century Modernity. Without any pollution or Disturbance— This is a Time Where Nature and Gods reign Supreme.—
Through The heat, I bathed in the fresh aroma of the Forest and Air. Free of pollution but still containing Modern men's enemy — bacteria and viruses.
Without any distraction's, My body and mind went into week long trances. society was always over reliant on machines.with me here I discovered the over reliance on computer can stunt your intelligence—Although Artemis was a genius, he too was stunted— Without computers and cell phones here , I just realized how terrifying my intelligence is.
When I was forced to run away from my only home in this world, I had to create my wants with Stone and Trees. All I had to rely on was Me, Myself and I. Artemis was a psychologist, he knew how the mind works and I Icarus inherited that from him. so I knew that when my solitude eventually forces me to truly confront myself I realized my strengths, My weakness's, I knew myself like i never thought to be possible — Artemis was a psychologist, he knew the mind limits—
And as I knew myself , I mastered myself, I conquered my very being. ' When one knew himself, he win the fight but If he knew the enemy he win the war'
wise words had never been said
With legs crossed, I mediate. My astral body crossings in my mental scape.

Icarus absolutely despite Psychological weakness, as he inherited Artemis memories, he came to conclusion that psychological flaw is fatal he doesn't mind a flaw or weakness — he's a humans and humans are full of flaws— he knew that his fighting ability is lacking as he only trained basic spear stances and his 8 year old body is limiting him. So Icarus doesn't mind to have a flaw or weakness but what he does mind is psychological flaw or weakness, that is something that he doesn't like at all. So in his week here he meditated to center himself and to get know himself. Icarus is a being with a huge psychological effects, He was Artemis and now he is Icarus, as he inherited Artemis memories and personality, he is sure that he inherited some of his weakness and flaws too.
You may wondering why does Icarus mention himself in third person? well Icarus came in conclusion that he is no longer Artemis. Artemis had read a lot of books and novels so he knows that a lot of people with his condition— reincarnation— dont accept themselves quite easily, although Icarus had said that he accepted his situation when he crossed over here, its now that he fully accept himself as Icarus, not Artemis.

Dream scape]
"Reporting to General Artemis, we have spotted the camp." a soldier said. he's about 35 year old with a huge scar across his face.
" sigh, Roger. okay now, we do this fast, you know the plan." Artemis commanded wearing a soldier uniform with 3 metal stars on his left soldier, his uniform is different from other soldiers, indicating his position.
" This will be our last mission as a unit right?" Another commented. unlike other times this mission is dangerous. it is rated SS rank for a reason after all.
"yeah, this will be our last. if we survived, we'll see each other again."
" See you at the other side." Artemis said. his voice somber but still carrying a strong undertone. he clenched his hand into a fist and push his hand forward towards his unit.
His group looked at him for a moment then came and bumbed his fist with theirs. " See you on the other side, General" The group chorused. their eyes focused, not waivering even for a second. They entered the military knowing the risks.
"Now go!"
Gunfire can be heard a second later.

Icarus woke from his dream — memory?—
he sat and yawned, rubbed his eyes. his face was a little depressed. ' sigh this is a first time I dreamed of my past life in this world.' Icarus thought. That dream was depressing and sad. after all that was a first time Artemis lost someone close to him in the military. netherless to say Artemis was the only one who survived that mission, all his unit was gone only the general survived. 'maybe is it because I finally and truly accepted myself? hmm.'
For a person to accept themselves is difficult. after all in order to accept yourself you must also accept all your flaws and imperfections. all your mistakes and weaknesses. And you must also accept your place in this world, this universe. Icarus himself took 3 years to truly accept himself. To accept your place in this world, you must remember that Gods walk among the humans, primordial are also a thing. So you must accept that in this world, this universe, you're actually an Ant. Humans always think of themselves as special, so to accept that you're an ant in a universe full of Divinity is actually harder than it sound. Icarus sighed.
He stood from his resting place and stretch himself out. He has to find the village to seek refuge and to get information. he has only a day long journey until he arrives at his destination.
The mental tiredness of yesterday was no joke. confronting yourself and picking up your flaws and mistakes is tiring mentally and spiritually.

At last he have arrived. he look at the village walls as he thought to myself. sometime hours ago he began to feel the cold spreading around the areas. now that he's at the village the cold is unbearable he won't be surprised if a few people starts to die or be sick. It is that cold. Icarus looked at his arms and saw his arms getting blue from all the cold. he is shocked to be honest, he thought that the snow won't be that cold but it's seems he may be bitten more than he can chew this time. now that he is at that village he can see the mountain behind it coated with snow
, normally that won't arouse his attention even a Little bit but that snow is glowing.
Just from this he can see that he isn't dealing with an ordinary beast. Icarus rubbed his hands a bit. With a thought his magic circuits activates, elevating the cold he is feeling a little bit. he step inside the village the village is quite deserted there's no one here to welcome or any guards or something. he walked a bit until he saw a group of people sat around a hearth. he stops a bit then resume his gait towards them. when he's around 6 feet away from them he coughed slightly to catch their attention.
It did,but it scared the shit out of them.
"Greetings, I'm Icarus of Athens." Icarus said as he smile slightly towards them to show that he means no harm.
It takes a few seconds for that to sink in. A man in his somewhat mid 50s came forward.
"Greetings, I'm ..."
