The next day, Scarlet and Esong finally saw each other again after many days of departing. He called her as soon as she opened her eyes, as if he was watching her from somewhere.

"Good morning, sleepy head." he said, "Am I allowed to say that you make such a beautiful sight."

She was pretty sure that she had bed hair and dark circles under her eyes but he looked no different from her. It looked like he was barely getting any sleep, he had dark circles and she had caught him trying to hold back a yawn twice.

"Are you getting any rest?" she asked him.

"Here and there." he replied. "Mostly not, this is not necessary the most sleep appropriate time of the year."

She frowned, thinking to herself that what he was saying did not sound very healthy.

"Don't worry," he added, "mecha warriors can go a maximum of four days with no sleep. We are trained to be this way, it's just that I have a lot of things to deal with. How have you been?" You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

"Hmph," she pursed her lips, "Who said that I was worried?"

"It's written all over your face." he chuckled. "Thank you for the food and the cookies by the way. You didn't have to send many of those, not that I am complaining but you look exhausted too."

"I had a training session at night." she told him. Severus had woken her up for two hours of training her special skill which for some reason seemed to come alive at night. She could now project nightmares for six minutes and she was just fifty percent afraid of them. He was right, the more comfortable she became with them, the more she enjoyed it.

"You don't need to push yourself so hard, mecha fights are not worth that much sacrifice. They are essentially games which were created to distract the people during this time of the year. You don't need to be in such a rush to get to the top of the virtual champions roll. Take your time."

"I am, I have not scheduled a fight in months. But I have one coming up which is what I am preparing for. Have you spoken to our son lately?"

"Iris, Irene, Igloo, Izaora, Isadora, Iliana." he mentioned a few names and it looked like he would keep going if she didn't put a stop to it.

"Yes naming genius Esong, please send them all to me and I will compile a list and send it to her." To her ears, it sounded almost like he was bragging.

"What's this I hear about you fighting a mutated beast in armor..." he changed the topic to the second biggest reason why he had called.

"Before you condemn, berate, shout or do anything you should understand my circumstances Esong. " she was quick to cut him off and explain her side. "I knew how to kill the beast but none of the mecha warriors seemed to be listening to me no matter how much I yelled. I was in the wrong for acting impulsively, I will admit. Next time..."

"Next time?" he said questioningly.

"There will be no next time." she amended.

"Good." he nodded approvingly.

"Unless_" she added.

Esong sighed and shook his head in an 'I knew it' manner.

"Unless, it attacks me first, then it's a case of self defense, I am allowed to defend myself."

Esong looked away from the screen for a few seconds and he nodded his head. When he looked back at her, it was to say hurriedly, "I have to go now, something else has made it through the barrier, be safe." he took off running.

She sighed, and prayed in her heart for all the warriors that had gone off to fight whatever that something was. She hoped for another week where she would not have to ring that bell.

But that wish would be impossible because she received a message with the face of a newly fallen mecha warrior on the Red star. It was time to ring that bell and reap a soul.
