Aliviyah sat on the roof of an old apartment complex, the very same that she remembered spending her normal life in. One before the fighting, before the monsters, and before all the death that came with it all. Before she found out the truth about what she was.
A small smile found its way to her lips as she clearly recalled the conversation. After her mother sat her and her opposite of a twin brother down to speak to them about their parentage and all the trouble that it would bring. Even despite the news being broken down to her as if it were a curse or an ailment of some kind, she found the bright side. She started parading around the room singing 'London's Bridge Is Falling Down' while digging in an old toy chest for something that slightly resembled an arrow.
No bow.
Just an arrow.
And in her search, she ended up finding a big stick that she had stuffed in the chest when she was at one of the local parks the family often visited. She couldn't quite recall what led to it (he probably insulted her singing skills) but soon after she remembered chasing her brother around the family room with the big stick in hand, switching to 'The Itsy Bitzy Spider' as she did.
She laughed to herself at the small memory then gazed over at the small pouch that she had laid at her side. The day she had got it, Aliviyah had been on the same very roof as she was on now, reminiscing about a time a no longer existed. One that the simple plain pouch could start again. Well- It would either do that or kill her and she was holding out hope that she was not going die anytime soon. She picked up the pouch and pulled the ribbon loose from his hold around the velvet pocket. Aliviyah held her breath as she waited for something or anything to happen. However, when nothing immediately changed she lightly huffed making a few of her curls blow up in both disappointment and irritation.
"Oh come on, I did not just get myself all pumped for nothing!!"
She was right. She didn't do it for nothing!
The wind around her blew hard and she nearly fell off of the ledge that she had set herself on. Her eyes were wide, as she was now considering getting down to avoid going splat on the concrete. Until she heard a voice from the wind and it made her jump to her feet but not in caution or fear. But of excitement.
"Hello demigod! I thank you for choosing North Wind Airlines! Are you prepared to take off?"
"YES!"
Her response came without hesitation, without doubt, and spoken with a sort of...Child-like wonder. Though the wind spirit was caught off guard at the instant response it'd gotten and minimal question to it, the spirit also appreciated it when mortals didn't question the work of gods. After it all, it wasn't their place to.
"In that case, we are off to our next destination,"
"Wait- Where exactly are we going?"
"Hm, the Violet Refuge."
Aliviyah nodded and threw in a little, "mmhm," just so she sounded like she was listening but in reality, she was too excited to be off. Being a demigod, Aliviyah had done her fair share of digging in all kinds of greek mythology and the myths involved in it so by now she knew full well about the North Winds. She recalled the many spirits of the North Winds being the very reason Eros (Aka. Greek Cupid) met his wife. She also remembered that Boreas, the god of the North Winds could manifest his servents into physical beings that could interact the same as any other living person. But as an...invisible human. That's what she called them anyway. She lightly gasped when she was picked up and sat in a seat she couldn't even see. But she didn't need to see it to feel its comfort.
"Now, please strap on your seat belt and keep all hands, legs, and heads inside at all times. In the event where something might happen including injury, the loss of or any damage to personal possessions, sickness, diseases, or even death we will not be held responsible."
Aliviyah wasn't all that concerned with the possibility of death. Who could worry about dying when you're about to go on a ride that people could only dream of experiencing once every few centuries! In a matter of seconds, she had been blasted off through the clouds.
As much as she wanted to treat the trip like a rollercoaster ride, it was over in the blink of an eye and the spirit was nowhere to be seen. Her comfy seat was gone as well which she could have almost cried over. But then she heard the voice again. "Thank you once again for using North Wind Air! Continue straight ahead and you shall reach your destination." Aliviyah almost immediately followed the spirit's instructions, failing to catch the rest of its words.
She saw someone. And once she set her sights on them, there was no escaping.
She took no time to really register the stranger's features but they had looked to be heading the same way she was directed to. She took off, running through the field to catch up to the other person before she felt confident enough to take a leap of faith. literally. She launched into the air and securely latched onto the back of a male who looked to be of the same age, if not older but not by much. Aliviyah didn't know what she expected him to be exactly but then again, she didn't really care to think about it.
"Oh what's up! The name's Aliviyah, what's your name-" She then gasped, "Are you a demigod- OR A GOD?!" She paused then shook her head, dismissing the thought of this already boring person being a god. "Nah..You can't be one.....Right?" Just as she really started to think about it, she caught sight of ANOTHER person and she practically exploded on the inside. Very swiftly, she jumped off the male and landed in front of him, immediately hitting the ground running. Though she was in a hurry to get away, she at least had the decency to say goodbye. "Oh sorry, niceconversationbutIgottago byeee!" Her words ran together as she sprinted to catch up to her next victim.
