Ace opened his eyes, looking up at Cleo whose green eyes were staring intently into his.
"What the hell?" He jumped back, falling to the ground on his rear end. "Ow."
"Are you alright?" The woman from earlier said, holding her hand out to the boy, who just stared at her blankly.
"Oh, I remember you now." He said, getting to his feet on his own. "You are Novella, right? The Deity. I think."
The woman smiled kindly at the boy, "Yes I am. So I take it that you have made your decision?"
The boy looked around the place, making eye contact with Cleo before he turned to the woman.
"Yeah, I am staying here."
She looked at him a slightly concerned look coming on her face, "Are you certain you are not going to regret this? I was sure you would have gone back to her."
