'Hey, wake up!' Herald shook Aimee awake.
'Why'd you wake me? Is it morning?' she asked sitting up and rubbing her eyes sleepily.
'No, you were tossing and turning, looked like a bad dream,' he explained.
'Oh,' she said simply. 'You feeling better?'
'Yeah, I, uhhh, also realised what a jerk I was being earlier. You were just trying to help, I'm sorry,' he said sheepishly.
'That's ok, it's understandable I guess. I mean you were bound to be little cranky after falling all that way.' she trailed off and looked at food deciding to change the subject. 'You hungry?'
'Yeah, a little,' he shivered, 'Where're the logs?'
'Over there', she pointed towards the pile of wood.
'Do you remember what your dream was about?' he asked.
'No.'
'Do they happen often?'
'No,' it was obvious she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press any further. 'Anyway I'm starving,' she said bring the attention back to the food.
'When do we move out?' Herald asked.
'When it's light,' Aimee pointed to the cave entrance.
'Oh, didn't realise,' he joked. 'What do we do now?'
'I'm hoping to go back to sleep, I have a feeling tomorrow is going to more difficult than today.'
'It can't get.' he was cut off.
'Don't say it!'
'Say what?'
'Don't, I mean never say thing's can't get any worse, cos it always does.'
Herald started laughing, but sopped when he realised Aimee was being serious.
They sat in silence while they ate, just enjoying each others company.
When they finished Aimee scooted closer to the fire and lay down ready to sleep. Herald watched as they drifted to sleep, he threw some wood on the fire, made himself comfortable.
This time it was the sun that woke them up, it was streaming threw the cave entrance illuminating the place up. The firs had since died down, but it didn't matter, there was enough warmth given off by the sun.
'How you feeling?' Aimee asked Herald, again.
'It's weird, I feel great.'
'Must be your Godly strength,' Aimee said while gathering the food together, and putting it in her satchel.
'Really, you think so?' Herald asked.
'Yeah, if you're Hercules then your really strong, and a real hero!' Aimee didn't mention the tests he'd undergo when he was younger (or the violent death at the end.).
'Am I a God?' he asked.
'No yet.' was all she said. She didn't think there was point telling him all the details, if Aphrodite didn't know what happens in the future, then she doesn't need to say anything else.
They were walking down the path when Aimee remembered about the plane, all the memories about the disappearing old woman (Aphrodite) came flooding back to her. She told her about the Gods falling, she knew about the future!
'What?' Herald asked when he saw her stop.
'Huh?'
'Why'd you stop?'
'No reason,' she answered quickly.
'Lets keep moving,' Herald said so they continued down the path.
But neither of them knew about the life threatening danger they were about to face.
