"I'll be just fine in a minute," he said. The light and the energy it took for him to heal himself was taking it's toll. "Would you like to see where I live?"

He stood lightly and took her hand to lead her farther. He didn't really need to look where he was going to find his home so he just enjoyed the scenery. About a quarter mile farther he stopped in front of a small Hunter's cottage. He led her inside the simple one room building and looked around for something. "Hold on a second," he said and wandered about the dark room.

"Found it!" Artemis called. He beckoned her over to him as he heaved a creaky trap door open. Inside was a dimly light staircase. He offered her to go down first.

At the bottom of the stair case was an entrance hall with a another stair case in front of them that lead down. Everything was elegant. "My father was a sucker for architecture," Artemis mused, "This place is like a mansion, except it goes down, instead of up. I never really liked the size."

"Yep," he said, "I'm not sure how far it goes. I've never gone past the fourth floor."

He smiled but didn't answer her. "I never really knew why he built this place underground," Artemis said venturing across the vast hall. "I guess he felt safe the closer he was to Hell."

"I guess I'll show you around," he said. He showed her the many recreation rooms that one wouldn't think to find in an immortal's home. There was even a smiple kitchen and a few bedchambers.

They lived together for a few weeks, Artemis gave her a room to herself and the freedom to do what she wished around the house. Artemis, himself, did not need sleep and so he didn't. He could almost always be found in his library where the thousands of books sat that he'd read each at least twenty-eight times.

she would run around the halls cleanign this and that singing loudly, something she couldent do at home. she loved it here, loved being with him. she would sometimes wonder into the library to try to get him off guard but he would always turn and smirk at her. it became a sort of game and sometimes she would read with him

It soon began to bother him that he was immortal and she was not. He knew that they wouldn't last forever, but he wondered how long they would. He found himself more and more distracted by it.

He hesitated before looking at her. her face calmed him as it always did. "The impending future," he said setting his book down. "You do realize the vast casm of differences between us."
