He holds the womans head against his chest and gently kisses the top of her head. "Asherah... I promise to not let any harm ever come to you as the best of my abilities will allow... I swear this on my life..."

Asherah was awake enough to hear it, but so tired, she couldn't speak. Once again, the sound of the ocean filled her mind, and lulled her to sleep with it's calm waves. She was finally at ease, her breathing quite, and steady. A small shiver shook her otherwise still body, causing her hand to travel up to Enki's chest, and gather a bit of his shirt.
...The little princess could finally sleep in peace for just once...
...Just once...

Enki wraps both of his arms around her and holds Asherah close to his body, kissing the top of her head before gazing up at the stars. Here he is, laying in a forest on a remote island with one of the most stunning women he's ever met laying on his chest. He can't help but wonder how he got here and what he's doing here, but long ago he learned to just take life as it comes. Leaning down, he kisses her forehead and whispers softly, "Stay with me, Asherah..."

The little bird's song broke the silence of her sleep.
Asherah's eyes fluttered open to look at the canopy of the tree above, then looked to the man who lay next to her. His name was Enki, he was a water spirit, and he was a sweetheart. Sitting up slowly, she gently brushed a few stray hairs from Enki's face.
"Enki...You awake?" Asherah whispered in her calmest, happiest voice.

The soft, gentle voice of Asherah broke the silence of his sleep. His eyelids flutter open very slowly as he looks over to the woman and gently nuzzles against her hand. "Ya, Asherah. I'm awake."

A great smile came to her face.
"Well, good morning then. I could get used to waking up to see that face."
Stretching out her arms, Asherah got up and yawned. With the crack of her neck, a few punches in the air, a few kicks, she giggled then swiftly sat back down beside him.
"How was your sleep?"

"You and me both, hun" he says as he watches her do what he kind of assumes it a usual ritual in the mornings for her. "Well, slept well, woke up to the sight of a beautiful woman caressing my face... it's been many moons since that's happened to me..."

"Well, then.. Start getting used to it again, and start getting up. I'm not pretty when I'm hungry."
Scooping up her things, and shoving it into her bag, she popped up and reached out a slender to Enki. She then grinned a corney grin.
"Shall we before innocent woodland creatures are eaten?"

Enki smirks and takes her hand, lifting himself up before pulling her body gently against his own and gazing down at her. "I don't see how you could ever not be pretty, hun." He then releases her and lifts up his coat, flicking it in the air to get the dirt and leaves off before flinging it over his shoulder. "So, shall we?"

Taking a deep breath, Asherah look at him, nodded then sped off with immense speed.
"LAST-ONE-THERE-IS-A-ROTTEN-EGG!!!!"
She screamed out playfully as she ripped across the landscape.

Enki cocks an eyebrow and smirks, walking casually into the water and standing upon the current. He yawns a bit as the current begins taking him the same direction Asherah is running so very quickly. Calling out throough the forest, he watches her run, "Hey! Where we goin'?"

Blink blink.
Skidding to a halt, Asherah whipped around and hollered back at him.
"TO THE CITY REMEM--ber?"
Blinking even more so as he floated to her on the, she stood there dumbfounded for a moment. Then he passed her.
"H-hey! I was just joking!"

Enki bursts into laugher as he steps off of the water and onto the bank, whiping a tear from his eye as he looks up at her. "Oh, you should have seen your face... it was priceless..." He starts walking to her and smiles, nodding toward the city. "Come on, cutie."

Wrinkling her face, Asherah huffed and took his hand.
"I'll get you for that. Count on it."
Lacing their fingers together again, she let him lead the way, and followed him like a lost kitten.

"...What the hell?"
The stars were going out. One after another, as if someone were blowing out the candles, one after another. The Captain scratched the back of his head as he observed it all, entirely confused.
Then...
"Sir, atmospheric readings are picking up a fog headed this way."
He walked over to the techincal officer.
"Windspeed?"
The techie checked, blinked, checked again. He kicked the console, swearing that it would work if it did. He checked again.
"...Zero, sir. There's no wind behind it."
The captain grimaced.
"All hands to tactical stations, condition yellow. I want to know the moment that soup gets in visual range. We might have something bad coming this way."
