Chapter 7: City Night The Congress city is not like the Haven city, for one thing, sunlight flooded the entire city. Despite how much times Holly has repeated the fact to Artemis, it stilled shocked him. "It's called the sunlight system, it absorbs the light on the surface (on a radar-protected island) and uses the energy to power a giant light hidden under the lenses, causing light to fill the city. Even if it wasn't 100% pure sunlight, Foaly is paying millions trying to bring it into the Haven city." Said Holly as they stooped down to the shuttle port I their small mini-shuttle. The first thing Artemis did when he got off was to look into the sky. The sky, to his surprise, was bright blue. Similar to the sky you see on the surface, only that this one gave light, and had no sun. With the huge buildings towering in the sky, it does not take a intelligent centaur to work out that this was the capital city. The shuttle port was connected to one of the highest towers of the city. Though the windows Artemis could see doors. Thousands and millions of doors. Artemis assumed this was something close to a hotel. And he was, of course, as he usually is, correct. Every inch of the floor was covered with soft, blue carpet. The building had a low climate, so every inch of the air was covered with cool, fresh- feeling air. The first floor had no doors; it had a professional looking front desk. Mobs of fairies were everywhere, with only several captains to hand out keys to the hotel rooms, sorting out the fairies and their families. "I've got no family, I tell ya, all my cousins have died from goblin attacks." One dwarf croaked, Artemis can barely hear it giving a full account of the goblin wars over millions of voices that was buzzing around the room before the captain shoved a key into his hands. Somewhere behind him, Holly shoved him in his back. "I've got our keys.MOVE OUT!! LEP BUSINESS!!! So let's go!" She said as she trod over the narrow path the reluctant citizens had gave them. Finally, after giving another shout about LEP business to an annoying spirit, they arrived at a small space in the corridor. The space was fill was floating platforms. Holly checked their digital keys. She smiled. "Yes! We got a really high floor!" "What's so good about that?" Artemis said curiously. "5 reasons; one, we are away from the citizens and the low-ranks. Two; our rooms have sound-block. Three; we get one of those," She pointed to some bigger platforms with two comfortable-looking chairs in them, "four; we get a good city view and five; we get food delivered to us. But one bad thing; our rooms are linked with a door." She sat down at one of the bigger platforms and looked smug. Artemis joined her on the chair beside her chair. Holly pinches in a few buttons, and the platform began to float across the corridor. Holly relaxed and closed her eyes. Artemis could tell it was going to take some time to reach the top floors, so he followed suit, except that he had his eyes wide open, examining the tube-like lifts as they passed them. The platform stopped at a lift, the lift's door slid open. The platform went inside and started to float up at an amazing speed. Then they will float out and take another lift. Holly never understood why one lift doesn't go straight up, and Artemis was happy to explain how even very power magnets or anti-gravity systems will stop reacting when they get to a reasonable distance from the other magnet at the bottom. When they reached their rooms it was night, and no-one is exaggerating at the time needed to get up there, considering the time they arrived would be the time the sun is setting back on the surface. They ate their delivered meals in silence, had bath in silence, and are now preparing to go to bed (and of course they did all this in their own room.). Holly was wearing an emerald green gown, which looked extremely like a large towel wrapped around her with a complicated knot system. Holly grabbed her spare Neutrino 2000, having gotten orders to give it to the Mud Boy for his protection against spies. Despite the one trillion on zero point one odds of a spy making his way all the way up here without being noticed, Holly opened the door and went though. Artemis was sitting on his bed, wearing a loose T-shirt and loose pants, which are both black. Holly suddenly stared into his eyes by coincidence, and suddenly relaxed. His pale blue eyes which Holly had thought as cold and emotionless was soft and comforting. Holly forgot all about the laser and dropped it on the ground. Several moments later she found herself so close to Artemis she can fell his hot breath. Their lips met. Holly's reputation and reaction screamed in horror while the rest of her moaned satisfyingly. She wanted to be there forever, for eternity, with her hands around his neck, with HIS hands embracing her, with their lips glued together. That single moment stretched forever. She came up, only to kiss him again, and again and again. They both fell into the bed, with their lips still glued together. Holly could feel Artemis's free hand putting the sheets over them. Her common sense screamed and exploded, but the rest of her body refused to move. It wants to stay here, with this Mud Boy, in this bed, for all eternity. The gown Holly was wearing was, however, extremely loose. The movement in the bed was already enough to loosen it so much that it slid off Holly's body. Her sanity exploded like her common sense. As for her reputation, that got pretty much crumbled too. Artemis looked upon Holly. The elf lieutenant wanted to simply scream and cover her body. But she didn't. The next few minutes was a blur to her, she remembered sinking into Artemis's arms.
* Holly woke up comfortably, which she didn't mind until she found where the warmth and comfort was coming from. She saw Artemis beside her, embracing her totally. She almost jumped up, but instead she sat up on the bed, thinking about what she had just did. HOLLY!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Holly yelled at herself silently, YOU HAVE SLEPT WITH A MUD MAN!!! IF ANYONE FINDS OUT, YOU WILL BE SACKED FROM THE LEP IMMEDIATELY!!!!! She climbed out of the bed, carefully removing Artemis's comforting arms, which were still wrapped around her. Part of her wanted to sink into those arms again, and sleep for a little longer when Artemis woke. Holly tied her gown around her hastily, and started to move towards the door. She glanced back at Artemis who was still in bed. "Mud Boy, I'll give you a warning: DON'T TELL ANYONE, alright?" Artemis nodded, "Good. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to change, we have an important meeting to attend, and yes, you are going too." She added. She was at the door when Artemis started talking. "Can't you change here? After all, I've." Holly slammed the door before he can give a recount of what happened last night. Especially after the gown came off. Holly slid into her dull green uniform. She went to her bed and messed it up, just incase. Clipping her badge to her uniform, she opened to door and waited for Artemis at the floating platform.
