The easiest region to access thanks to the port city of Jawan, Nssylai is possibly the most welcoming for new travelers. There are fewer rain forests, more open space, beautiful winding rivers, and supposedly less dangers. If you do seek adventure though, the Craiss Caverns and Idalani Waterfalls are a sight to behold. For relaxation or to get in touch with your spiritual side, head out to Nu'san Temple.

ImageAphrodite

If she had known that the place called Idalani Falls was also called the 'Lover's Triangle', Aphrodite would never have let Iris take her there. It was kind of weird, honestly, since Iris wasn't really the deceptive type. Yet, the girl had totally tricked her into going there. Something about "embracing her heritage" or some shit. Tbh, Aphrodite stopped listening after 'Lover's Triangle'. There had even been a couple making out like, 4 feet away. Emphasis on the 'had been' - the dude had totally forgotten about his girlfriend the second he spotted Aphrodite. The chick had looked like she was going to murder her, but it was hardly her fault that people found her sexually irresistible.

She had hightailed it out of there pretty damn quick. Iris probably went back to sitting on some rainbow or some weird shit like that. It didn't even matter that Aphrodite had no clue where she was now - as long as there were no people around to gawk at her.

Hephaestus

It was pretty damn weird that Hephaestus was anywhere but his forge, but he'd heard of a wicked cool pile of metal and tech scraps out here in the middle of nowhere. Apparently, some company nearby had cleaned out an illegal, off-the-books lab or something, and had dumped the non-dangerous stuff here until they got around to carting it all to a scrap yard. In the meantime, though, it was all up for grabs and here Hephaestus was, getting first pick. This 'junk' was truly treasure to him. In fact, he had no clue how he could possibly get it all back to the island. Maybe he could scrap something up for transport.

It was kind of weird, having a place to leave his stuff, and with a forge on top of that. He couldn't bring himself to call it home - too many years on the street for that - but it was just about the closest thing. The whole living with other reincarnated gods/goddesses thing was a pretty good tradeoff, though it was honestly kind of weird. He hadn't actually...met any of the other guys (or...girls, apparently - he was the first dude), except Persephone, and he couldn't be sure the airhead could be counted since they met before they found out about the 'gods' thing.

He shook his head clear and looked down at the thing he'd been crafting in his hands without realizing it. Some kind of...figurine? Really, dude?

Daaaaaamn, she really needed to just...get lost more often. It rocked being out away from people. I mean, she had no freaking clue where she was or how or when she'd get back home but right now, she didn't give a single fuck. Feeling energized, she started to run. Down along some wet ditch, hopping over some creek, up through a really cool section of forest where the canopy was so high and thick that nothing really grew on the ground. She felt like that girl in that movie - paint with all the colours of the wind and all that cool shit. She was pretty out of breath when she hurtled up a rocky slope, so she just plopped herself down for a bit at the top and admired the rockin' view. She had never really considered herself a nature person. Animals were kind of 'meh', plants were boring, and bugs just sucked. Beyond sucked, in some cases.

After a bit, she'd recovered and picked herself up. Making her way down the slope, she found herself in some...scrap heap. Was this...supposed to be here? Somehow it seemed like some environmental taboo or something. Picking her way around, she looked over the giant mounds curiously. She hadn't realized she wasn't alone until she turned and flat-out collided with someone. Next thing she knew, she was lying flat on a firm chest staring into some dude's face. She froze.

Hephaestus just shoved the figurine into his pocket. It was weird but not unusual for him to make random, useless shit like that when he wasn't paying attention. Part of his gut told him it was meant to be for somebody, but it wasn't like he actually had anyone to give it to, so that was bull. Well...maybe he could just toss it off to Persephone. It wasn't for her, he was certain, but she seemed to like shit like that so what was the harm, really. Turning his focus back to the task at hand, he grabbed a metal sheet and hauled it out of the mound it was buried in.

After a short while, he found himself with about...half a contraption? If he was being honest, sometimes he wasn't sure if he was building the thing or if his powers were. As far as his brain knew, the thing should be working...somehow. As far as his gut told him...it was far from finished. What was he supposed to add to it though? He was still working on how his powers...worked. He was so busy squinting and concentrating on the contraption, trying to make his powers magically work (no pun intended), that he...(Ok maybe pun intended a little) that he didn't notice that someone else had entered the scrap heap. The person was making quite a bit of noise, actually, he would totally have noticed otherwise. It wasn't until there was a sharp noise behind him that he turned only to find himself on his back looking up face-to-face at some chick.

Honestly, the first thing through Aphrodite's mind was that the guy was kind of ruggedly handsome, even with a giant scar running over one of his golden-brown eyes and partway down his cheek. His face was kind of dirty, but it just added to the...ruggedness? There was a weird feeling in her gut, like she knew the guy despite never having met him before.

"You gon' get off?" he said gruffly, and Aphrodite started. Oh my gods, she had been lying on the dude just staring at his face, what was wrong with her? Also, was it appropriate to say 'oh my gods' when you are a god? She wasn't sure. Scrambling to her feet she looked around her awkwardly, avoiding looking directly at him. Close contact and looking directly into someone's face never turned out well. She opened her mouth, then realized she really shouldn't talk and add her voice to the situation. Damn her powers. She shut her mouth immediately.

As the guy picked himself up, she noticed a slight limp. Oh gods, had she hurt him!? She realized he was looking at her and felt really guilty for not saying anything. After a brief hesitation, she finally just mouthed 'I'm so sorry,' still carefully avoiding looking at his face.

He wanted to say it was the surprise that left him just lying there while she stared at him. If he were being honest, he wasn't sure that was true. He noted that her eyes were pink, her blonde hair falling against the edges of his face, and there was some pleasant, almost familiar scent he couldn't place. There was a strong pull in his gut, and his hands twitched like they did when he saw some tech he really had to get his hands on. Only...he was pretty sure he just wanted to touch her skin or something, which was really fucking weird. He'd finally managed to ask her if she was going to get up.

Finally, her weight had lifted off him and he moved to stand. His leg was always a bother getting up. It'd once been broken in circumstances he didn't really want to think about and hadn't set properly, leaving it slightly twisted and awkward to maneuver. He didn't normally make a habit of sitting (or lying) on the ground. Finally, Hephaestus looked over at the girl, who was clearly trying very hard not to look at him. Didn't people normally apologize when they ran into someone? At this moment, he decided he didn't really like this timid, rude girl. Even if she was inexplicably pretty. Hephaestus almost never thought anyone was pretty.

Did she just mouth an apology? He wasn't much of a lipreader, since he didn't much pay attention to people in general, but he was pretty sure she just apologized to him. Why the fuck wouldn't she just say it? And would she stop avoiding his eyes? It was really freaking distracting. Well...at least she wasn't terribly rude, but he still didn't like her.

The guy had just huffed, shook his head and turned back to this...thing behind him. She wasn't really sure what it was, but judging from the handful of tools around it, the dude had been working on it. He was still working on it, actually. Just...ignored her and went right back to work. Aphrodite was floored. Maybe...maybe the guy was gay? Her powers only really worked to attract those interested in women, even a little.

She hesitated there for a minute. Part of her felt she should really just leave, but another part of her rather liked the idea of hanging out with someone where she could just be her and not the reincarnated goddess of love. Finally, she walked over and crouched next to the...thing. She looked it over for a minute, clueless, before studying him instead. He seemed to be completely absorbed in what he was doing, fingers moving deftly over springs and cords and...well, she assumed they were springs and cords and shit, what did she know?

Aphrodite opened her mouth, closed it, and opened it again. If being in physical contact while looking her right in the face didn't affect him, then surely it would be okay to talk to him, right? "What...what are you making?" she finally asked.

He didn't want to deal with the girl, so Hephaestus just went right back to work. His powers kicked in almost immediately this time, which was great because he really had no clue what to do next. The contraption made little sense to his mind anymore, so he handed the reins over to his hands. It almost felt like his gut was teaching him; he could sense blueprints swirling around in his mind, along with material names and a bunch of other things. The machine before him wasn't just being built, it was making more and more sense to him as it did. How, he still had no clue.

He was jarred out of his momentum by a sweet voice. It was difficult to describe as anything other than beautiful. It wasn't particularly melodic or sultry or anything, but still had a...ring to it that captured your attention. He looked up, startled. "U-uh...what?" he said distractedly, before his brain processed the actual words. "Oh! Uh, the making, uh that I thinged, wait," he caught himself and shook his head, "the thing I'm making." He paused a moment, frowning as he looked over the contraption. It was a good question. What was it, exactly?

He looked over at her and was a little confused and startled to find her looking straight back. At least, for a moment, but then she seemed to hesitate before averting her eyes with a frown. "I have no idea," he confessed. Then he looked down at the...machine part in his hands, turning it over curiously. "I'm not good with people, sorry."

Aphrodite wasn't sure if he had been startled because of her voice, or if he'd just gotten wrapped up in what he was doing. They were two very different things, when it came to her. She was a little amused at his blundering, though. It was actually kind of cute. He stared at the thing for a moment, and she squinted at his face. She didn't do a whole lot of looking at people in recent times, so she wasn't sure if she couldn't read him because she was rusty, or if he was actually just hard to read.

He looked back up and their eyes met. She resisted the habit of looking away, but then he seemed to just be...staring. Perhaps she'd misunderstood something? Were her powers actually working on him? Uneasy, she looked in another direction. He answered her at that moment and her frown deepened. Did he just say he didn't know? How do you build something and not know what you're building? She glanced back at him, now fiddling with something in his hands. When he spoke again, she felt a little better. Then she felt bad for feeling better. It was possible that it wasn't her powers that were making him awkward, he was just...already awkward?

She couldn't help but beam. "That's okay!" she chirped happily, "but, can I ask, how do you not know what you're building?"

He'd glanced back up at her just as she beamed at him. For a moment, his gut wrenched so hard, it made his head spin. He was already well aware that those gut-feelings were remnants of his past self, but honestly, if he hadn't known that, he would have sworn he was falling in love or some shit. Wait, he wasn't...actually falling in love, was he? With a frown, he probed his thoughts and feelings before coming to the conclusion that the feeling was definitely coming from his gut. He, himself, felt nothing for this girl. Except that she was pretty, he'd admit that. (Just not to her.) Though, why his gut was reacting so strongly, he had no clue. Maybe the chick was his type in his past life or something.

He looked back at the contraption. He had heard her question, and really had no clue how he was supposed to answer that. Was he even allowed to talk about the 'god' thing? It was pretty hard to explain without mentioning the god thing. Taking a deep breath, he shook his head. "Uh. I just...instinct, I guess?" he said weakly. "I..just...go with my gut and let my hands take over," he tried, "it's a gift...or something."

"That's a pretty cool gift," she said with another dazzling smile. As far as he could tell, she wasn't aware that her smiles were so breathtaking. He awkwardly looked back down at his hands and frowned at the piece he'd somehow mangled. Meekly, he shrugged. What was he supposed to say? It wasn't like it was really a 'gift'.

His awkwardness was really quite cute. Aphrodite didn't even think she had a type, but she really wanted to know more about this guy. Even if he was gay or something. She shuffled slightly and looked down in embarrassment at what she was about to tell him. It was a bit of a risk, honestly, but it's not like anyone had to know. "I um, she started, "I have a gift too, actually." She took a deep breath but wasn't sure how to follow up with her statement. How does a girl tell someone that she can make people fall in love - especially with her? Finally, she just decided, fuck it, and looked at him straight in the face. "I'm Aphrodite," she declared.

His reaction hadn't been anything she was expecting. His eyes went wide for a second, then realization crossed his face before he softly responded, "oh." Her heart started to sink. Her gut twinged and something told her she wasn't going to like what came next. The guy looked down at the ground awkwardly, then tried to look back at her before looking elsewhere instead. "I...I'm Hephaestus," he said in a voice so soft, Aphrodite wasn't sure she heard him right at first.

There was a moment there where it felt like time had just...stopped. He finally understood now that his gut reaction was because she was Aphrodite. His wife. Or at least, she had been in a past life. Had his past self loved her? He assumed so from how strongly he felt drawn to this girl. But I'm not him, he thought as he glanced up at her. She seemed to be processing still, her eyes wide with shock. And she's not her.

He really hadn't anticipated what came next. Aphrodite's face just completely shut down. Hephaestus blinked in surprise as she seemed to turn into a completely different person. She stood up and assumed a very arrogant pose - leaning slightly, arms crossed, and chin raised as she scoffed. "Oh. Go figure, huh. So much for 'a gift'," she said rather coldly, "you're just mooching off some cosmic powers or whatever this shit is we've got."

She followed it up with a slight kick to his contraption for emphasis. It wasn't really hard enough to do damage, but the meaning was there. Hephaestus jumped up, as best he could with his leg anyway, and he gave her his harshest glare. For a second she seemed to falter, before she tilted her chin defiantly at him. What was with this attitude?

Gods fucking damn it, she could never get away from all this shit could she? Stupid fucking gods. Stupid fucking goddesses. Stupid cosmic...whatever. Honestly, whatever god had control of that thing called 'fate' was really having a laugh right now, at her expense. The god Hephaestus was supposed to be married to her past goddess self, right? It was bad enough that she had powers she didn't want, and some unknown destiny she couldn't fight, but now she even had her love life laid out for her?

No. She refused. What was the good of being the goddess of love if she didn't have some control over...love? She was pretty much just jumping from action to action, not really thinking about what she was doing as she lashed out against him. Some small part of her squirmed about treating this poor cute guy like this, but it only fuelled her anger. For all she knew, her attraction to him (yeah, fine, she was attracted) was purely because of this cosmic reincarnation shit.

Only, she hadn't expected him to snap back. His eyes had become so dark when he glared at her, she felt herself flinch back in shock. But she was not going to relent. No one and nothing was going to force her into all this against her will. Yeah, it wasn't really his fault, but he was the only one she could actually fight back against.

"What the fuck?" he finally blurted at her. "Is this how you introduce yourself to other people?" he asked, scowling, "Or is it just because I'm one of the god clan?" He'd...forgotten what they were supposed to be called. Aphrodite scowled right back at him in a way that said it was totally because of who he was. It was amazing that she still managed to be beautiful in spite of her dark expression. Scary and mighty, sure, but beautiful. It was taking a fair bit of effort for him to bury that thought. She was pissing him off and the last thing he wanted was to be attracted to her.

Besides, didn't the original Aphrodite hate her husband? Or at least, she didn't seem to love him, from the stories he'd heard. Honestly, Hephaestus didn't want anything to do with anyone, much less the wife of his former self. But he wasn't about to treat Aphrodite like trash just 'cause he wanted to be left alone. Yet here she was, treating him like shit.

"What, you expect me to treat you nicely because you're supposed to be someone I knew in some former life?" she asked venomously. "You think I'm going to be some...perfect trophy wife for you?" she sneered. "You going to tell me we should be married, even though we've never met, just because of some cosmic stupidity?"

Aphrodite's eyes burned. She channeled her anger and breathed through it. She was not going to start crying. The words practically fell from her mouth as she leaned in toward him aggressively. No sooner had she finished speaking, mouth open and ready for whatever remark came next, than he had snapped back, "Trophy wife, are you kidding?!" Words failed her as she faltered, but he wasn't done. "You have this shitty attitude towards someone that, like you said, you've never met. You claim to be angry because of whatever this cosmic shit you're going on about is, but then you turn around and lash out at someone for that exact reason. You know what that's called? Being a hypocrite!"

He turned away, apparently to angry to even look at her anymore. Again, Aphrodite bristled. "Oh please, like you weren't thinking, 'oh wow, I get to marry-'" He cut her off, wheeling around and hissing, "No one would ever want to marry you!"

Aphrodite's eyes threatened to spill over, the words gone from her throat. Honestly, it didn't seem like something that should hurt her, really, but her heart felt like it was being crushed. There was a flash of regret on Hephaestus's face almost immediately, but he didn't get a chance to say anything. She turned and raced away, tripping once or twice on the junk, but ignoring the pain as she kept going.

Hephaestus knew the second the words left his mouth that he shouldn't have said it. There were so many other things he could have said, and this one wasn't even true. There was no way she couldn't find someone to marry her, one day. Or something. Sure, that gut part of him wanted it to be him, but he wasn't going to even consider it. She was pretty, but clearly had an attitude problem, and he didn't love her.

His heart sank a little though, when he realized she was about to cry. He tried to reach for her, to...apologize or something, when she bolted. "Aphrodite!" For a second, he tried to go after her, but got a rather unfriendly reminder that his bad leg just wouldn't let him run. He watched as she weaved through the piles, wincing when she tripped, until she turned out of sight. He felt terrible now, looking around forlornly at the junk piles he'd once been rather excited to go through. Hopefully he'd get the chance to make up for it...or something. I mean, they were supposed to be living on the same island, so he had to run into her eventually, right?
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound
