At around five in the morning, Esong Wu was wide awake when he heard the sound of of footsteps running a distance away. He closed his eyes and sharpened his senses, he could tell that the steps were heading into the blue forest. You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin

He roused himself and left his space ship without alerting the others. He along with Markay and the others that came along with him were sleeping in the space ship because there was no housing on the Blue star.

"Good morning general." the Artificial intelligence of the space ship greeted him.

"Good morning Jovi."

"Should I ready the engines for departure?" Jovi the AI asked.

"No." he responded.

He stepped out and stretched his arms. The harsh cold early morning wind in the air did not faze him in the slightest. His eyes were focused in the direction of the footsteps and he raced over there with the speed of a cheetah chasing prey.

In the forest, the person that was running was none other Scarlet. She had no intentions of furthering into the deeper areas of the forest because she was simply exercising. If she found something useful along the way during her run, good for her.

She did not even realize that in the dark, there was a ring of gold around pupils of her eyes. All she knew was that as a grim reaper, she could see clearly in the dark as she did in the day.

As she run, she caught up on underworld knowledge from the teacher Severus. Scarlet felt like a student that had gone back to school. She had to study about life in the underworld and life in the interstellar.

"So Ummu refers to a fight for freedom. Whoever loses the fight has to serve as a servant for the winner for a year or give half of their collected souls to them everyday five years."

"Yes, you can see why I told you say no. Souls are the key to strength in the underworld realm, you need every soul you can get. You are weak, if you had said yes to the fight both of us would be in big trouble. I know that arrogant reaper Ulysses will not hesitate to challenge you again. You have to keep saying no no matter how many times he taunts you or hurts your pride. Until I say that you ready to face him, focus on your training."

Her father said she was the last to rise from bed when the sun had come up. Why was she behaving contradictory to that information?

"Exercising and rescuing some pitiful animals." she replied.

She held one kitten toward his face and it 'meowed' so pitifully.

He pulled his head back and avoided the kitten. "It's dark outside Scarlet, do you really think I will believe this wild tale you are spewing."

"Why would I lie?" she asked.

"I don't know." he replied. "I also don't know why a lone weak woman would be running through a forest at this time of the morning."

She placed the last kittens in the pod and stood up, then she smiled at him. "I am not alone, I have Severus with me." she pointed at the dog with was looking at both of them lazily. "I am going to continue my run, if you want you can join me or you can go back to bed."

Without waiting for him to decide, she took off running through the woods. After running, her intention was to do some boxing before showering, having breakfast and going to work.

Left behind like that, Esong gritted his teeth and followed her, matching her pace precisely.

"You can run faster, I don't mind." she told him.

He turned his nose up a her. "I am simply here in case you run into something dangerous. I cannot allow the mother of my son to get killed just because she is foolish."

She ignored his 'foolish' comment and concentrated on pacing herself. This body had never worked out for a single day and the pain in her calves was killing her. If she had not taken some crystal water before beginning the run she might have given up.

"Keep going." Severus told her.
