Eumelia had come to the library to be able to write in relative peace and quiet. She could work a it better there if she had a good concept and could write a decent bit about it.

Her current project was to make a longer poem, almost leaning towards a story. She sat at a table, her hand gliding swiftly over the page of her notebook, pen in hand, curvy, neat words seemingly flowing out of it. She was focused and satisfied with what she'd had so far. She had a burst of (ironically used) muse, and wouldn't let it go to waste.

Curious, Joran was a very curious individual, he had a high intelligence and so had a desire to learn everything he could about his new home. The library had proven to be a reliable source of information, he'd already made many trips to it, read many books, learning things. Today was no different, he moved between the shelves, carrying an arm load of books, his sharp intelligent reptilian eyes looking over things as he passed them.

Then his eyes spotted someone, a girl, likely older than her, with golden hair, his tongue flicked in and out, she wasn't human. She did look human, but different, to perfect to be human. Curiously he approached her, setting his books down, he quickly wrote a note and slipped it to her, "hello, I am Joran."

Eumelia had stopped for a second to think before she was approached. He seemed younger than her, tall with scales in some places. He had an intelligent look about him; curious eyes, holding a stack of books that looked very advanced. Eumelia read his note with interest.

"Greetings, Joran, I am Eumelia", she introduced herself. This Joran seemed interesting; he didn't act much like the other ones his age, Eumelia noticed. "A pleasure to meet you.", she added.

Eumelia's eyes were still bright with ideas for the poem, which was still flipped to on the table; but they also had some curiosity in them. She was interested in Joran; why he wrote in notes, the origins of his seemingly reptilian nature.

He tilted his head again, it was a quirk of his, something that popped up when he was curious, his tongue instinctively flicking in and out a few times. "It's a pleasure to meet you too," another note said, he handed it to her before taking a seat.

"You don't mind me sitting here?" he continued his notes with a question, he wanted to make sure she was ok with his presence. "I apologize for the notes, I know there not the best form of communication," he was currently mute, he knew sign language but so few people could understand it.

"I'm sorry if interpreted anything," his note said, his hands motioning to her note book, his eyes shinning with curiosity, though his face didn't show much emotion. "I just arrived, only been here just over a week."

Eumelia couldn't help but notice how Joran's eyes seemed more expressive than the rest of his face. He had emotions, but kept them in. Her eyes seemed to perk up a bit with some inspiration, but she'd save more writing for later.

"I do not mind you sitting there at all", Eumelia said sincerely. "The notes are just fine; if you cannot speak, the art of writing can express yourself just as well", Eumelia said with interest.

Eumelia was still adjusting, and she assumed Joran was too. Although, she assumed he had a much better idea of what all was going on; unless he was from a whole other world like her.

"Ah, I, too, am relatively new to this place", Eumelia said intentionally vaguely. Unless directly asked, she tended not to include the fact she wasn't from Earth.

"So, how are you enjoying it here?", she continued. Personally, she was very interested in Earth and its people, and was hoping to soak up all of the culture and traditions she could.

"It is interesting," the notes continued, his eyes shinning just bit, showing he was actually happy that he was talking to someone. "There is so much here, things I didn't know existed," he motioned to the stack of books beside him, "so I've been reading when I can," the school had yet to place him in a class, they were uncertain where to put him, "learning what I can about the island and the people here."

He was curious about everything, yet also confused about much of it. "Everything is fascinating in one or another, but learning doesn't mean always grant understanding. I suppose understanding will hopefully come in time."

Joran tilted his head again, "may I ask you question?" It was odd, carrying out a conversation in notes, but few knew sign language, so notes would do for now.

Eumelia began to wonder a bit if perhaps she should read for pleasure more.
Then again, she'd always preferred to write rather than read; even then,
the reading was usually poetry. She looked at the stack of books. She didn't
have much experience, but they seemed quite advanced for Joran's age.

Again noticing the glimmer in his eyes, "I can relate. I'm also quite in awe
with the wonders of this place. I, too, am hoping to learn a great much
about it, though things can be confusing.", Eumelia said. It'd been
overwhelming at first, as everything was extremely different from Olympus.
Though, it was a new, fresh breath of air, which is part of the reason why
she'd come here in the first place. Still, though, it would take some time
to get used to their adjusted language and customs.

"Yes, you may ask me whatever you desire to know", Eumelia said. "I will
answer to the best of my ability."

Joran considered his words, he decided to use plain words, "What are you?" His eyes were shinning with curiosity, even more so than before, "You appear human, but you are not. My senses can tell you are something more," he gestured to his flicking tongue, "I apologize if that sounds odd, but it's instinct, an automatic function, similar to blinking."

"Not only that, but you look perfect," he tilted his head, contemplating, "Despite the short time since my arrival, I've already seen many things, dragons, demons, but you are different, you stand out, even with a human form." He was incredibly intelligent and observant, he'd notice things very few do.

"I have human DNA, so I have their shape," his tongue automatically flicked, "but even with my scales and snake aspects. I do not stand out like you, I am just a snake thing. You, are something far more."

The question was extremely interesting to Eumelia. Not only was it a quite deep question in itself, but the wording.. it said quite a lot about him. Eumelia was now sure Joran was not like his age. He was much more intelligent; very unique and different. All of these things ran through Eumelia's mind while reading the notes, and her eyes were brighter than ever before. Inspiration and wonder showed on her face; and a final question came to her: who WAS this?


Eumelia wasn't quite sure how to react to being called perfect. It came to her with a very slight blush, after which the reply "My parents are the Greek Muses Euterpe and Calliope; therefore I am considered a.. minor deity of sorts", Eumelia said, quite modestly.

But Eumelia had a question of her own. She'd had a burning desire to know this; something more than just curiosity. Eumelia responded, "But deities are not all too rare here. But.. there is something I would like to know. There are other gods here, but you are very unique", she started. "You stand very different than the others; more intelligent and curious... tell me, who are you, Joran?"

"A goddess?" his eyes shimered, "That is interesting, and it makes sense." He nodded as thoughts appeared in his head, "Gods are meant to be perfect, the ultimate example of sentient life," the concept interested him, beings above who created those below, like he'd been created.

"Greek, I've read of this pantheon, Zeus, Ares, Aphrodite," he named off a few of the Greek gods, "they were unique in a way, they freely interacted with the mortal world, with mankind. The stories speak of many things created by these interactions, wars, conflicts, but also creation, events that lead to great things."

He blinked as she asked who he was, he didn't know how to answer. "I am nothing truly. A thing, a mesh of two things really," he motioned to his scales and then to his human skin. "As I said, a snake thing," he didn't view himself as a person, he'd been raised to believe he was nothing but a weapon, he'd rejected that purpose, but he'd yet to begin viewing himself as he truly should.
