Calypso

I woke up and found myself in an unfamiliar room. 'Where am I?' I tried to get up but my head started to hurt. There was not many things in the room but I knew that we are not on earth but inside a realm somewhere. The laws here are more powerful than on Earth, which means that this could be a secret realm or another planet. I don't think getting blown up can send you to another planet so I must be in a secret realm, but why and how. I heard someone coming in but I fell unconscious again.

When I woke up again I saw a woman feeding me ambrosia. I wanted to get up but my body seems to not respond to me, so I could only allow her to do as she wished. She left the room after feeding me. 'Did she not notice that I was awake?' I was confused why she didn't say anything. 'Wait, my body-' I looked at my body and realized that I was naked 'Hold on, how come I can see myself?' I spent a few minutes thinking before finally realizing something.

'This is... my spiritual sense?' I was gradually enlightened after testing something out. 'How is this possible, Spiritual sense could only be developed in the Ascension realm and from the looks of it I seem to have the level of a peak stage Immortal even though my body is still in the Tribulation realm' I thought. I couldn't make anything out of it, why did I have spiritual sense at the level of a peak stage Immortal. It shouldn't be possible in the first place. 'I'll ask Mother when I leave' I thought to myself silently

I looked at my body with my spiritual sense. 'My body should be healed by now, why am I still not waking up?' I thought of a few conclusions maybe there was something wrong with my soul when I was hit by the explosion, the woman did something, or its because of my spiritual sense becoming too powerful. 'F*** it' I quickly sealed up some of my powers, leaving my spiritual sense extremely weak and tried to return to my body. This was an extremely risky move as I could be dead if I couldn't return to my body. I closed my eyes and tried to sense my body. I felt something soon and opened my eyes.

'It worked' I clenched my fist. I looked around the room with my eyes to see if there was anything different. 'It's exactly the same' I tried to get up, although with some struggles, I managed to walk out of the room after putting the clothes in my storage ring.

I was surprised because besides the small room and house, there was only a garden and it was also a small yet beautiful island. I saw the woman sitting on a rock seeming as if she was singing. I stood quietly behind her, listening as she sang. I was gradually immersed in her song. I can hear the loneliness and sadness in her voice as she sang.

After she finished singing I snapped out of my daze and clapped. She was looking at me quietly. I also looked back at her silently. We continued staring at each other for a while in silence.

"You sang very nicely" I told her

"Thank you" I heard her answer quietly

We were silent for a couple minutes. 'She seemed to be nice, yet also cold to me.' I looked at her and thought

She seemed to be also thinking of something too before turning around to face the sea.

I walked over and draped my jacket over her shoulders "Its going to be cold."

She didn't reply

I walked back into the room a while later as my body is still recovering.

The next morning when I woke up, I found her sleeping next to me with her face close to mine. 'She's kinda cute when she sleeps' I thought to myself as I stared at her. It was the second time I complimented a woman. She woke up a while later and I saw her get embarrassed but returned to her cold side soon after. 'So she's just acting cold towards me'

"Good morning" I said

She didn't say anything and I left the room. I noticed that there weren't any animals on the island, just plants and fruits. I made a fishing rod and and set up the rod to catch something while I cultivated. As I cultivated I managed to catch some carps and decided to grill them. I summoned a fire from my body and started grilling the fish slowly. Mother had taught us some basic spells to cast fire and water. I managed to find an immortal fire in my travels when I went to China. With this fire, I learnt alchemy from the alchemists under my mom's family.

The fishes was done almost an hour later after I carefully grilled them. I didn't have any spices so I could only make a plain grilled fish. Using the immortal fire to cook the fish made it a bit tastier. I took out a bottle of Lafite 1982.

I saw her sitting on a swing looking as if she was lonely. I took the fishes and wine and walked up behind her. I handed her a fish and she looked at me in surprise. I poured her a glass of wine as she ate the fish slowly. I chuckled looking at the oil left on her lips. I took out some tissue and wiped it for her. She was stunned before looking away quickly in embarrassment.

"You know, you can't seem to act cold can you?" I chuckled

She looked away in embarrassment and downed a few glasses of wine.

"Don't drink it so quickly" I smiled

She stayed quiet

"Why are you acting so cold are the time? You should smile more."

I stared at her before noticing some tears falling down

"Hey, why are you crying" I asked gently while panicking in the inside thinking that I hurt her in some way.

She tried to get up and walk away but I grabbed her by the arm. She then tried to move my arm away, but as my body was still quite weak I grimaced in pain. Turning around in a panic she held my arm in concern.

Seeing her panicking expression, I smiled and told her that I was fine. I wiped the tears on her face. 'Wait what did I do..' I was completely stunned by my intimate actions. 'Why did I-'

She then continued to cry in my arms. She finally spoke for the first time today to me, saying that she was afraid that I would abandon her like all the others that had come to this island. She also told me the story of how this island came to be, and that her name was Calypso, the daughter of Atlas.
