Seren once loved the night. In fact, he once anticipated it with excitement and wonder. He ran and he played, despite the lack of other children around after sunset. He ran, he rolled around, jumped, laughed, laid on his belly and watched the occasional mortal that walked the dark streets. Amith, the god of human ingenuity and creativity, even created toys specifically for his nights of play and solo fun. He had two favorites out of the many he had. One way a slender, small wooden stick with a long white ribbon tied on the end. When he ran with it held high in the air, a shooting star would cross the sky. Sometimes, if he ran fast enough, there would be more than one comet. The second gift, while it was also created by Amith, it originally belonged to his father. Solar used it on hot days to draw fluffy clouds in the blue sky, giving the humans a relief from the endless rays of the Sun. Seren used it to draw constellations at night. He could remember every one he made, the order they came in, and what he named them. Aries, Hydrus, Ursa Major, the Little Dipper.. the toys stayed in the chest behind the large, extravagant throne of the Sun god, collecting dust from extreme lack of use.

Now here he sat, used to being alone but unused to being so lonely.

Despite how much he had grown, the Star god was still dwarfed by what he once called the 'big fancy chair.' He pushed himself out of the chair, letting his fingers glide on the golden arm of the throne as he made his way around to the chest. He squat down and slowly opened the handcrafted oak container, his fingers collecting dust as he did so. He gingerly lifted it open, blankly staring at it's contents as he tried to forget the horrible memories that haunted his every waking moment. He reached for the paintbrush, the soft bristles leaving stardust on his fingers as he did so. He stuffed the item into the sleeve of his extravagant robes absentmindedly before closing the chest. He walked to the spacious area of the court in front of the throne, his bare feet sometimes dragging across the chilly floor and causing him to pick his legs up a bit. He could remember exactly where his papa fell through, during the first solar eclipse. The phenomenon had blinded him and caused him to lose his memory. He hated recalling everything after that. It always made bitter tears well in his eyes, but tonight he was too tired to cry. He'd probably jsut fall asleep if he broke down and began shedding tears at this moment, and falling asleep was the last thing he wanted to do right now. He just wanted to get out of here.

He laid down on his back, staring upwards. How was he going to manage to do this? He hadn't thought too far ahead, not enough to find out how to get to the world below. That's when it happened. He just fell through, the cold air stinging his cheeks as he fell faster and faster. He didn't know where he was going, or where he was going to end up. He watched as one by one, each of his stars disappeared from the dark sky. The last light of night was diminishing. He twisted his body, trying to figure out where he was going but it was much too dark. The Star god was pickingn up speed, becoming a comet himself. He couldn't see a thing. It wasn't very long before he began hitting what he assumed to be branches, and then the hard ground with a thundering thud. Falling from the heavens had consumed far more energy than he had predicted. He felt weak, cold as well. He lay his head in the dirt, curing into the center of the crater he had made upon impact. Perhaps he should rest and recover here until daylight. Yes, that seemed like a good idea..

Mercedes sat in on her bed, scrolling through her feed on social media. Suddenly someone pounded on the door, most likely one of her brothers. “Come in!”, she yelled at the unknown person on the other side. It was Chandler, the older twin who had entered the room quietly, holding his shoes in one hand and his soccer ball in the other. “Want to go out and play some soccer?”, he suggested, tossing the ball lightly. Mercedes shrugged and gave him a nod, and quickly raced downstairs to slip on her shoes. Being the first one out she breathed in the nice scent of outside, taking in the chilly but relaxing breeze. The ball was then thrown over her head and onto the grassy front lawn, and mercedes quickly ran off after it. As much as she wasn’t into soccer she could at least play it somewhat well, but not as good as her two older brothers. They were absolutely obsessed with it and all they did was go outside to kick around the ball.

“Kick it over here!”, Chandler had called out, waving both his hands in the air to get Mercedes attention. “Ok!”, she replied and threw the ball in the air, kicking it before it touched the ground as it descended back down. Chandler let it roll on the ground before kicking it back over to mercedes, but unfortunately she had blocked it from passing the ‘net’ which was really just a white line that was sprayed on with spray paint. “You really need to work on that”, teases Mercedes, sticking her tongue out at the disappointed looking male. He only replied with a roll of his eyes and cross of his arms.

The two played for quite awhile until they both were out of breath, laying side by side on the ground. “I’ll go get us some cold water”, Chandler said, slowly lifting himself off the damp ground and walking back in. Soon after she heard the front door slam shut, a glowing light brightened up the sky, catching Mercedes’ interest. The comet landed and it caused the ground to shake for only a few seconds but not too far from their home. Mercedes took a quick look around, noticing nobody else really came outside to see what happened. Mercedes lifted herself off the ground and decided to see how much damage the comet had made. She took off running, making it to her destination in about five minutes.

The Star boy rolled over on his back, letting out a soft groan of pain. He was going to be sore in the morning, possibly even bruised. He ran his fingers through his hair, picking out leaves, twigs, and crumbles of dirt from his messy coal locks. After he was done with that he brushed off his shoulders and arms, followed by his abdomen. Still rather exhausted, he leaned back and stared up at the dark sky, thinking this was the best time to devised a plan for the next week or two. His father would be on the hunt for him no doubt, so he would have to find someplace to hide. He had to hide before the sun turned red, signaling Solar's descend to Earth and Flomos, the god of wild fires, taking the throne in their father's absence. The hunt would go on for at least two weeks. When the sun returned to it's natural yellow color, Seren would then learn to blend in with the normal society of mortals. He'd get some casual human clothes, a job, maybe a nice pet or two to keep him company. That sounded like the ideal mortal life right there. That was the plan. Though the night was young, he was unsure how long it would take to find some shelter. He figured he better get started then.

He had to get out of this crater first though. This could be a challenge, considering his condition. He wasn't going to be so easily detered though, so he rolled onto his stomach and began trying to climb out. It was a very long process, achieving this simple goal. Finally though, he got out. The crater was easily the size of a skatepark bowl, though it lacked the depth. Despite the large size, the branches covered it very well, so hopefully his father wouldn't be able to track him down here. He laid down again and heaved exhausted sighs, the only light he possessed was the stardust that stuck to his fingers. It was like glitter, but had the same consistency of dust. The god pushed himself up, still taking deep breaths. He pulled his robes tight around his frame, not yet used to the ever changing weather patterns of the mortal world. There were definitely many things he was going to have to get used to. Seren was confident he could adapt though, he wasn't saying it was going to be easy, but he could do it.

He tensed as he heard approaching footsteps, wondering if he had been caught by another god already. No, that couldn't be. He was sure he had checked that no one was around before attempting his flee. He scrambled to his feet, but his weak knees fell under him in his panic. He turned and faced the noise, hoping that if he just stood still then perhaps he would go unnoticed.

No chance. He was literally a fish out of the water.

Mercedes finally got to where the comet had landed, widening her eyes at it. Surprisingly nobody was here to see what the noise was coming from. She saw a figure, attempting to crouch down and hide from her sight, in which they badly failed at doing. “Hello?”, she called out in a loud whisper, approaching the crouching figure slowly. She only stopped a few feet away from the person, or thing, or whatever it was that was trying to hide. “I know you’re there... somewhere”, she spoke once again. Whatever it was didn’t show any signs of revealing themselves, so Mercedes would have to go and find out what it was that was there. She quietly approached the thing and she realized it was a human. He must have gotten injured from being near the comet! “Oh crap, are you ok? Did you get hit by a piece of rock? Are you even alive?”, Mercedes mentally facepalmed at her last question, he was obviously still alive if he was moving just minutes before.

She kneeled down and prodded the person slowly, issuing only her pointer finger. She didn’t know what to do in this sort of situation. The only thing she could think of was to call medical services but first she wanted to make sure the person was ok.

((Wb Sorry))

Sadly, Seren's plan of hoping he wouldn't be noticed had failed quite miserably. In fact, the mortal even hurried to get to him. Startled he tried scrambling to his feet again, but fell back onto his bottom. There was a swirl of emotions in Seren's eyes, but a majority of it was pure confusion. He supposed he caused quite the scene when he practically crash landed soon after the stars disappeared. He wasn't exactly sure why this human decided to investigate rather than, say, report to authorities and stay out of trouble.

He thought it was pretty ridiculous that she asked if he was alive. Was he not awake and looking right at her? It was hard for him to believe that his papa had chosen a mortal lover after his fall. They didn't seem like much in his eyes. They were clumsy, self-destructive, loud, the list could go on forever. He didn't get it at all. It was safe to say that he held quite a strong grudge. Mortals didn't live forever like they did, so he often wondered what his papa did when he suddenly realized he wasn't aging at all..

Forget it. Who needed that old geezer anyways?

When the human knelt down and prodded him with her finger, Seren's confused look turned into one of hostility, the cold fingers of his grudge holding on strong as he acted out against the human in anger. He roughly pushed his hand away, leaving trails of stardust on he humans skin. "I don't need your help!" He hissed, brows furrowed. "Get away from me! I don't need anything. I don't--I--" he gripped his head, wondering how hard he hit the ground. "Go home! You don't need to be here! I want to--I want to stay!" He sentences were fragmented, and he felt dizzy. Before he knew it, he fell onto his back in a complete daze.

Mercedes jumped back and landed on her back as she was suddenly attacked with hostility by the male. “Well Sorry for trying to help!”, she scoffed, fixing her posture and standing upright. She looked down at her hands and noticed some shiny stuff had suddenly appeared. She dusted them off, watching some of it fall to the ground and just glimmering there. What is that..?”, she whispered to herself before returning her attention to the male. He had fallen back in a daze and she once again knelt down, unsure of what to do. “I’ll go get you something”, she said getting up and walking away but she turned back. “Don’t move! Oh wait it’s not like you’ll get anywhere with those injuries anyways”, she added, running off in the direction of her home.

Her two brothers were outside playing soccer, and when they realized that she had returned they didn’t question her about it. They most likely thought she was out dancing under the darkened sky. It was what she usually did every night anyways. Mercedes opened the some cabinets, flipping through some medicine bottles full of liquid or pills. Finally she found some bandaids and had gotten an ice pack from out the fridge. She grabbed a water bottle and an apple, unsure if the he would get hungry after healing. This time though, Mercedes left the house from the back door, quickly returning to where Seren was.
