Poor Axel. His head was pounding, his heart as thumping in his chest and now his back hurt. Something from a distance called out but he was too head-spinning to hear it. His large hand rose from his side and placed against his head as he let out a loud groan. “Uuuuggghhhhh……” The young man groaned again as he rubbed his head before the sound of crunching echoed in his ear. “Huh?” 

His silver uniform, with black arm bands reflected in the fallen sun as he listened to the footsteps getting closer his location. Body tensing the young man slowly turned towards the noise to see a girl stumbling towards him. It wasn’t until she arrived to him that he realized he was found out. Oh Alexander was going to be [i]mad[/i] at him for getting spotted by a human right away. 

Her panic was understandable. Most humans wouldn’t fully understand what just happened and he could empathize with their shock. After all, he really liked humans despite his position and how the other gods in his line of work feel about humans. “Hey.” He said softly, his large hand moving from his face to her hand, gently placing it on hers. “Hey I’m okay, please calm down. I just fell.” Fell, that’s good enough right. “Now I have a massive headache and an achy back.” Doing his best to give a small laugh to the situation he slowly sat up.

A small groan left him as he did so but soon they were level with one another, “I’m sorry I disturbed your evening.” He said blinking a couple times as he pulled his hand from her and rubbed his face. His gaze turned to her before he stopped, freezing as he stared at her wondering hazel eyes. Stars… stars… STARS! He can see STARS in her eyes!! The king’s voice echoed in his mind, [i]“ The answers you seek lie in the eyes of the goddess.”[/i] 

“Your eyes are incredible…” He found himself saying as he stared at her before his face turned red with embarrassment and he looked away, the air around him changing to one of shyness and embarrassment. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to stare.”
