Chapter 9.1 - Deeper

Adam's mouth dropped, the Universe hadn't abandoned him, finally someone with deeper knowledge of the Earth would be able to help him.

"Please Lou, I need to meet him!" The desperate young God grabbed the woman's hands.

"No I can't, the Monks can't be around common people. They have to move out from their homes and leave their families to dedicate their lives to the city. It6s for their own safety!" 

Lou was shaking her head, trying to avoid Adam's begging eyes. There was no way he would leave without meeting that man.

"Lou, I really need this…" Noticing the old woman wasn't listening, the boy had to resort to extreme methods. "Don't you think your son would be happy to meet the man who saved his mother from certain death?"

Lou raised her eyes to meet Adam's. They both knew what he was doing, but the boy needed to think about his mother that he needed to save.
