It was before sunset and I was sitting around on a dust covered sofa in the attic. I had been doing this all week, and I needed some fresh air. I thought to myself that I would go on a small walk in the desert. I stepped out the door into the slowly cooling air. It was too hot to do anything during the day.

I started to step out of the test village and into the hills. It was still warm out at this time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought I saw a small glint on top of one of the hills farther off. I could only see a dot of what it was. I started walking toward it, seeing if it was something that some traveler had left behind. I got there after about ten minuets, and started heading up said hill. I got to the top and noticed that there was someone sitting on it facing in the opposite direction. I could see that he was wearing an olive green long sleeved shirt and gray pants that were very wrinkled, and a black bowler hat on top of messy chin length blonde hair. I took two steps toward him and tripped, falling on my face in the dust. I sat up quickly, getting some pebbles out of my grayish hair. I made sure it was at my waist like it should be and not in the air with static, It had two patches of light green over my ears and a magenta stripe in back. I dusted off my black t-shirt with the one arm I could and realized I had torn another hole into my olive green jeans.

"Wonderful," I said to myself as I noticed the man I was coming up behind had turned around and was starting to get up and run off.

"Wait!" I called after him. "Are you from Jupiter's clan? I got sent to live there a week ago!"

He stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. He was halfway down the hill but I could still see that he had some deformities. He had an entirely flat nose, barley any lips, and thin dark eyes. He just nodded a bit and stayed there. He walked back up to the top of the hill after a minuet.

"I'm Edit," I informed. "You would be?"

"Goggle," he said. He looked down at my arm. "What happened?" He asked.

"I was born this way," I stated. I had one normal arm and one that had no bones below the elbow, and separated into two tentacle like things. It had some parts with no skin naturally, so there were about three patches of muscle strand showing.

Goggle nodded and sat down. I sat next to him.

"Did anyone tell you I was coming to this clan?" I asked.

"Nah," He replied. There was a moment of silence. I stared into the air for a bit. I thought about leaving for a few seconds, it seemed like he didn't care. I guess I'd make him talk, then. After about two minuets, I broke the silence.

"All this time they've kept reminding me that I won't ever be part of this little family because they don't trust me all too well," I sighed, looking off into the sky, more talking to myself than I was to him.

"Why not?" He asked. I was surprised he responded.

"Because I never did fit in too well with Hades' clan. Everyone decided to pick fights with me, and soon they got me kicked out." I said. "They killed some human that they were going to keep alive, and told everyone it was me."

"That ain't too nice," Goggle said. It seemed like he barley cared that I was here, until I saw him give a small smile in my direction. This was the longest conversation I had really had with anybody here. I celebrated in my mind a little, I would have to try and make things last this time. I scooted a little closer to him and watched as the sky turned into a sunset. We were up there for about forty five minuets. When it was entirely dark, I realized that I had been leaning against him this whole time. And he was smiling that whole time.

Another little celebration went off in my mind.

"It looks like ya spend a lot of time in the mines, you're really pale," Goggle said, breaking the silence.

"Gee I wonder why," I laughed, and he laughed back. He was right, I was really pale, and it always seemed like I had a bit of a purple tint.

"So, Why are ya up here?" I asked.

"I watch for travelers."

"Oh."

"What is your part?" He asked me. I was quiet for a few seconds. Nobody really paid much attention to me, and just kind of forgot I was there.

"I don't have much of one…" I admitted.

"Eh, some of us don't," He said. I could tell there was a little bit of sympathy, but it was probably just fake.

"Well, it's getting kind of dark, so I should go," I said, standing up.

"Ya can stay here with me tonight if you want," Goggle suggested.

"You stay here all day and all night?" I asked.

"Yeah, I can hardly get any sleep, they have me out here all the time it feels like. Not really, though."

"Uh, I could watch for you when you want to sleep," I suggested.

"That's actually a pretty good idea," He said. I wondered if I could even trust him. "So you'll be staying out here tonight, I take it?" He smiled.

"Yeah," I replied.

After about ten minuets, Goggle drifted off, I was sitting on the hill next to him.
