Although it was the first time she heard the name, somehow there was a pause in her movement. "That's a wonderful name!" She complimented without knowing why.

Atlas smiled so ever brightly, his eyes showed a longing expression, "Thank you." Your name is even more beautiful. Only if you knew.

"Let me borrow your fishing pole." She asked unaware of the deep gazes in his eyes.

Atlas handed her the fishing pole. Yu Sha wrapped the hook string around the end of the stick and walked up the stream.

She scanned the river and aimed the stick at the river with fierce smooth force. The stick pricked through a fish, she reeled the fish and put it in the bucket. She throws the stick at the river again and reel in the fish. Her aim was right on target, even moving targets. Before they know it, she filled the bucket with fishes.

Atlas gave her the unbelievable, what the hell are you look. Yu Sha could tell by his expression, she explained herself. "I'm…"

He interrupted excitingly, as the look he gave was part of acting. He knew full well of her capability. "No need to explain yourself. I am amaze. You should teach me!"

Yu Sha smiled knowing he didn't think weirdly of her, but wanted to learn from her. "Ok. Whenever you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Atlas looked at his bucket, "Well, I got more than I needed so you should stay over and help me eat some."

Since she has some times to kill, she agreed to go over. She never turns down free food. Anyone can lure her with food. "Ok, I can stay for a few hours but I have to get back to the city tonight."

"Perfect! I will cook for you."

The two walked to the entrance where Yu Sha first entered and made their way to Atlas's place. While walking there Yu Sha strike a conversation, "Atlas, do you ever go out and explore the world?"

"Of course! I've traveled to many places, but in the end, nature and quietness suits me best." I've traveled through time and space to find you. Just when I thought I'll never see you again, you tumbled in.

"Hm… I see."

"Why?"

"Nothing, I thought it would be lonely to be all by yourself here."

Atlas looked at Yu Sha, his expression solemner, I can be in a place filled with people, but without you, no matter where I am, I'll still be lonely. If only you knew, there is no place lonelier with the absence of your presence.

Soon, they arrived at Atlas's house. He invited her inside and asked her to wait in the living room while he preps the fishes.

Yu Sha nodded in agreement. She walked into the living room and looked around. The living room is simple, a couch, sofa, table in the middle and flower vases by the window. A lot of simplicity and not much commodities. Her eyes move around the living room and then came upon a huge painting portrait of a woman by the wall. If one sits on the couch, the painting is directly across.


The painting intrigued Yu Sha. She felt like she was being drawn in by the painting, a force that manipulated her to go up to the painting. She studied details of the painting and noticed the woman has a scar across her eyes. Although her eyes are opened, the edges of the scar are still visible on the top lids and past outer eye corners.

Yu Sha felt heavy hearted like she is emotionally affected by the stories behind the scars although she does not even know the story behind it.

Atlas enters the living room to call Yu Sha only to see her looking intently in close proximity with the portrait. He stood silent observing her until Yu Sha turns around and notice him.

"I finished prepping the fishes, lets go to the back. I'm going to lite up the bonfire and grill the fishes." Atlas explained.

"Did you paint this?" She asked.

He nodded, "Mm…"

"Is she a real person?"

"Mm.. She once was." He replies in a hoarse voice.

Yu Sha understood his replied, 'she was' meaning she no longer is around. "What happens to her eyes?" She was curious.

"Someone was jealous of her and injured her eyes on purpose."

Yu Sha is empathetic by nature so tears naturally swelled in her eyes knowing that true cruelty exists in the world to wonderful people.
