Athena and Tennyson was still leading their troops to the Kingdom of Seldom as the day is already getting dark.
"Athena we sleep here tonight?" Tennyson asked. 
"As you wish sire" Athena replied as she flew down with her dragon and so as the others joined her.
"Athena what's wrong with you! I only asked you a question, I didn't say you should stop!" Tennyson yelled at her when he arrived on the ground with his own dragon while Athena silently jumped down from hers.
"That's because I wouldn't want to offend you so that you would meet your father and ask him for my head!" She replied without looking at Tennyson.
Instead she was looking around and she was obviously looking for a place to drink water as she was so thirsty.
"Alright guys, we are sleeping here tonight and we will begin our journey earlier tomorrow" Tennyson said to others and they all jumped down from their dragons.
And one of the guards steps closer to him, "Sire are you noticing the strange moves Athena is making?" Richard the head of the knights said to Tennyson.
Tennyson stared at Athena who was standing beside her dragon and playing with him.
After observing Athena for a while he looks at Richard. "So what move is she making?" Tennyson asked.
"Am sorry if I have went too far my prince, I'm only trying to say that she was acting strange" Richard said and Tennyson nods.
"Yeah, there is nothing wrong with that, she lost someone so dearly to her and that's how anyone would act if to be on her shoes"
"Let's just give her sometimes she will come back to her right senses" Tennyson said as he stretches himself and yawns.
"Just get our belongings and look for somewhere good to arrange them and make a tent for us to sleep tonight"
"Go, you guys should go let me talk to Athena" Tennyson ordered and Richard bows a little for him. "Okay my prince" Richard said and the rest of the knights joined him and steps into the forest to look for a better place where they can make their tent for tonight.
Tennyson watched them as they stepped into the forest and then he looks at Athena's position and Just her dragon was standing there alone.
There was no sign of her "Where the hell is she?" Tennyson asked as he began to run towards her position in order to look for her in other to know where she disappeared to.

Meanwhile Athena discovered that there was a lake close by because she was hearing the sound of the waterfall.
So she was currently tracking down the lake using the noise of the water because she needed water to drink.
"Oh! there it is" She said in a sigh of relief when she finally sighted the water.
And the first area her eyes landed was on the waterfall and she rushed the lake immediately.
Getting there she deeps herself under the waterfall and began taking her bath with clothes on her body.
And as she was bathing she was equally remembering her similar moments with Mark at the lakes.
"So there you are!" Tennyson's voice sounded interrupted her from her deep thinking so she looks up to him as he runs into the lake.
"And why are you looking for me! you are not supposed to come close to the lake when you noticed I was here" Athena said as Tennyson gives out a smirk.
"And why? who you?" he asked expecting her explain why she has to give such order.
"What if I had no clothes on me! that's how you would just run in here!" Athena yelled at him as he relaxes himself at the lake looking so careless about her.
He sits inside the lake and looks at her "Well, you have said it all, just like you said, what if..."
"So what are you saying? you have clothes on you so why complaining! even if you have none on you, am the prince of KingsHeaven! and nothing is forbidden for me to see!"
"Moreover the lake is for everyone, it is not limited to anyone at any reason or any condition, bully that!" Tennyson said to her as he slowly lies down inside the lake.
"Oh my gush! so nice!" Tennyson said when he felt the coldness of the water all over his body while Athena was angrily staring at him.
Out of anger she left the waterfall in other to walk out of his presence that annoys her anytime she sets her eyes on him but then she was stopped by Tennyson.
"I am your prince! so you dare not work out of me, you stay here until am done!" Tennyson orders as she stopped and stares at him angrily.
And slowly her eyes met on an ant at the ground and from there she captured a little footsteps at the ground.
She bends down and looks at it and she knew that it must be Mezie's footsteps.
"Hmm, of course I know that you wouldn't dare to disobey your prince! you know the consequences" Tennyson said as Athena stares at him.
And secretary tries to cover the footstep of Mezie but Tennyson saw her. "What's that?" Tennyson asked making Athena to gasp in shock.
"It's nothing" Athena replied but Tennyson suspected that it was a lie because there's no how it could be nothing when she trembled so hard immediately Tennyson asked her about it.
"How could you say it's nothing?!" Tennyson said as he gets up from the lake and began to step closer in other to know what it is by himself and so Athena looks again at the footstep.
And that's when she saw even more of Mezie's footsteps showing so clear on how Mezie ran into the forest.
So as Tennyson was approaching she used magic as she brings out her two fingers.
"Ghremaa!!" She said as breeze brews around and the leaves of tress and glasses and covers the footsteps and just immediately it was covering them, Tennyson approached.
"What's it that you are looking at?" Tennyson asked as he looks at that she has being looking at and what he saw was a frog.
And he chuckles "You always never cease to amaze me, I mean what's surprising you in that! come on let's leave here!" Tennyson said and the both of them heads back to the place they kept their dragon.
Getting there the knights are already there waiting for them and as soon as they approached they took them to the position where the tent was prepared.
At first they all sat outside discussing for a while and about a few minutes later one of the knights stands up.
"Goodnight my prince" He said and entered the tent and so Athena left too and entered her own tent.
Though her clothes were still wet so she needed to change it as her bag was already settled for her on top of her bed inside the tent so she undresses and began to look for a better dress for herself.
She find a nice one that suits her and undressed herself in other to put on the new one but that same moment Tennyson walked into her tent and she quickly used the clothe to cover up without putting them on.
"What the hell are you doing here, at least you are supposed to knock before entering" Athena yelled at him.
"Knock?! your prince have to knock? well am here because we are sleeping in the same tent tonight" Tennyson declared.
"Tennyson there are more than two tents here so what the hell are you doing here?" Athena asked as Tennyson laughs.
"It's my choice to make and not yours, we are sharing this place tonight so there is no need of hiding anything because it's going to be a nice night"
