 Christos had followed Dustin silently and obediently but when he was asked about Kyler and how he knew both their names he said "I won't say just yet but when we get to the colony when I say we have to go hide somewhere you have to listen to me or else we're both going to get in deep trouble."
He wasn't happy about the fact that he might be havingbvisions and what not when they were there but he learned to deal with it, now he just had to hope people wouldn't find out about hi' and attack him when he was in oracle state of mind. Sighing softly Christos said "I'll tell you this though, I can easily be told apart from a human when I'm in another state of mind." He had paused for a while, when he had his hand held by Dustin, he had recieved some sad memories, ones that brought little tears to his face as he said softly "I'm sorry about the lost of both your parents."
His eyes widened a bit, now he'd done it, nervous beads of sweat started to form as he wondered what Dustin might make him say.

 Dustin Michael scowled at this. He didn't like it when people kept things from him, especially if it had to do with his nephew, who was waiting back at his home colony, all the was in Japan. He started up the helicopter and began to fly to Greece when he heard the part about his parents. That was something he couldn't let go. He glanced at Christos. "Ok, now you're giving me the answers and I won't take no." He remembered what the younger boy had said a while ago, something about being related to an Oracle or something like that. "What... don't tell me you can see stuff...?" Dustin Michael thought for a moment. "Well... that'd be kind of... cool..." He didn't mean to say that last part out loud, so he quickly changed the subject. "I-It will take a while to get to Athens... You can sleep if you want... We will be there in five to six hours if I can get this baby to move to it's full potential."

 Christos frowned when Dustin said it was cool to see stuff like he did, he shook his head and said "It's not really cool actually, it's quite sad when you see stuff I do."
He remembered the time he had gotten a sad memory from a ghost, telling him how the ghost died, it made him cry none stop for 2 days. Christos closed is eyes and brought his knees up to his chest, falling asleep he sighed softly and his breathe calmed as he squirmed a bit in his seat. His dreams were full of memories that he got from over the year, some were sad, some were happy, and some were scary. Each and everyone of them making him either cry a bit, smile, or squirm a bit in his seat. He hated these types of dreams, ones that showed him things of the past, but he was lucky enough that he didn't have to dream about the future.

Dustin Michael couldn't stand watching Christos squirm in his seat any longer. "OI!." He said shaking the younger boy a little. "We are almost there, wake up kid." He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. He had tried waking the boy up several other times, but it never worked. He must be having a pretty messed up dream... I can't keep watching him like this. He then pushed the plane as fast as it could go, shortening the trip by a whole hour. The sun was just setting over Athens when they arrived, and the sunset illuminated the ruins of the city in a faint pink glow. One of the people of the colony had heard the helicopter and the whole village came to greet Dustin Michael.
"Oi kid... we're here now so it's time to wake up." This time he got out of his seat and tapped the boy on the head several times. "I regret telling you to sleep..." He mumbled under his breath. He ran a hand through Christos' hair, but stopped before it seemed loving in any way, to get a good grip on Christos' hair. "OI!" Dustin Michael shouted in the boy's face, letting go of the kids hair.

Christos opened his eyes slowly, obviously not knowing what was going on "What?" He yawned and noticed Dustin looked a bit.....annoyed, he didn't know why thought. He rubbed his eyes and yawned again mumbling "Such a bothersome dream."
His eyes had gone a bit light, not totally pale red but a lighter red then his normal eye color, closing his eyes for a couple seconds he opened them, they had gone back to normal now, he stretched and hopped out of the helicopter but stumbled a bit, after affects of tuning into his memories when sleeping, sighing as he stood up straight he frowned, not liking the idea of being around other humans, he needed to get to find out more about the prophecy, he had reread the prophecy so many times that it had worked its way into his heart, making him remember the pain he was causing everyone, but what he didn't understand was how he was supposed to have a kid. How the hell does a guy have a kid without a women?! He panicked, not sure exactly what to do now that he gotten to Athens, a place he didn't even go near because of the volcanic activity that happened here. Maybe he should just tell Dustin to wait here till he found something out but he couldn't what if he needed help or if he got trapped some where, shaking his head lightly he started thinking over possible reasoning behind behind the confusing prophecy.

Dustin Michael smiled as he stepped out o the helicopter, waving to everyone who was there to greet them. "Hey everyone, look what I found wondering around in No Man's land." He pulled Christos in closer to him by wrapping his arm around the other boy's shoulder. "Now I have a favor to ask, we are going on a little... expedition so to speak, and we need supplies. I got the gold, hows' 'bout it?" Dustin Michael pulled out a long string of diamonds from his pocket. "You get one for every gallon of water and bag of food. So if you provide for both me and my friend here, you get two diamonds, get the picture?" The village leader came up to Dustin Michael and ruffled his hair a bit, seeing threw Dustin Michael's cool cover up. They both knew that two diamonds would give the colony food and water for a few months, and that trading two of them for some food and water was too good a deal.
But they took it anyway.
Once the colony had scattered to collect the food, Dustin Michael looked over at Christos, who seamed to be lost in thought. He frowned. "OI! Don't even think about going off alone, you got that? I've already said tat I'm going to help you stop this rotting world from crumbling, and I will. Even if you leave I'll follow you." He turned to Christos. "Being a thief... I'm goods at those things." He looked up at the blacked out sun. "Besides, you won't make it out there alone. The ruins are starting to get clouded by desert and it get's deadly hot over there during the day, and it's frozen at night. It's a harsh climate, I won't let you go out there alone." Dustin Michael tried to sound cool, but really he was worried. There were things that his boy wasn't telling him, important things, and Dustin Michael was determined to find out what.

Christos' sighed and said "Don't worry, I won't go. Not like I can anyway." He looked at the sky and chewed on his bottom lip thinkning I wonder.....Maybe I could but that would mean changing the future again, and it's already changing enough.. "Anyway the earth isn't rotting, it's dying from the inside out. The earth is cooling down, once it does we'll be dead because the heat keeps the plants alive somewhat, unless...."
He knelt down onto the ground and touched the grass that was slowly dying, he closed his eyes and drew a little circle on the ground. After a while he stopped and opened his eyes, smirking he was somewhat glad he had the ability to see other things future besides just humans. He had seen two different ways for the earth to either die or stay alive. Standing up he got another dizzy spell, stumbling to the side he mumbled "I'll be in the helicopter if you need me."
He hurried into the helicopter and went to the back of it, hunching over in a seat he clutched his forehead and let himself slowly go into his Oracle state. His eyes turned into the pale red color once more and he mumbled somethings, for a while it carried on till, he finally stopped, gasping he clutched the fabric over his heart and closed his eyes, Making what he had seen when he was in Oracle state into a memory which he tucked deep inside himself. He hated it when his powers were acting up and so it forced him to go into a state of mind were he told things rather he liked them to come out or not. Sighing softly he sat up, regaining his breathe as time went on, maybe it was because of how the earth was but he felt like he had less control over his powers than he ever did. Sighing heavily he put his worries aside he started thinking threw more logic explanations.

((I'm going to go to bed now so good night I'll check again in the morning >_>" And I'm a bit tired... when I;m tired I tend to write a lot and not check for errors so sorry about that in advance...)) Dustin Michael waited a long time for Christos to come out of the helicopter, but he wasn't a patient person. By the time he actually went on the helicopter to look for the boy, he was really annoyed and holding two bags full of supplies. "Oi! You going to sit there or are we going to fix things?" He asked as he tossed the bag over to Christos. "So where are we going anyway? You seem to be the only one that knows and I need to know whether or not I should start this baby up again or not." He pointed to the controls to the helicopter that were behind him. He sighed. "Although it might be a good idea to just go in this... since it's so cold at night we should have some sort of shelter. So kid, what do you think?" Dustin Michael knew he was pushing this, but knowing that there was a way to save everyone, especially Kyler, made him want to act as quickly as possible.
"Do you even have any sort of map or slues with you that give of the slightest idea of where to go?" Dustin Michael raised an eyebrow, continuing with his wall of questions. He was going to ask more when a familiar voice interrupted them. "Dustie!" A little girl called out to him, and he turned around. "Serenity!" Dustin Michael got down to one knee so that he could give the three year old a hug. He really did know the name and face of every known human left on Earth, he kind of saw it as his job. Serenity laughed and held out a little flower. Dustin Michael's eyes widened. It was the first flower he'd seen in tact for years. "Good luck!" The little girl said before shoving the 'good luck charm' at him and running back to her mother.
Dustin Michael sighed. "I don't get it... here the Earth is dying and people are still having more children. We can't support the adults as it is." He stood up and gave Christos a serious look. "I'm serious about this, you know. Preserving the Earth and all. For my nephew, Kyler, and for the children like Serenity."

Christos exited the helicopter and shrugged saying "It's not my fault this happened, it was going to happen even if I wasn't here, The earth's been dying for years." He opened part of his shirt and took out a map looking at it he frowned a bit saying "We need to go to.......here." He pointed to a small dot he had made and said "The Acropolis of Athens. It's quite a bit away but we can make it if we go fast or take the helicopter though seeing to how it gets colder there because of the altitude I'm thinking we shouldn't do that."
He smiled up at Dustin and looked at the map some more, trying to see where else he needed to go, most off all the sites he needed to go to were ones that the Oracle had gone to, if he got in touch with the memories the walls kept for so long maybe he'd be able to figure something out, just a hint maybe. Sighing he still felt frustrated when he thought about the baby problem he had, unless he was somehow born with an ability to make a fake womb and get a baby, which he highly doubted, then they were doomed. He shrugged a bit, the earth had been dying along time ago so he hadn't caused that much change.......had he? Shaking his head, trying to tell himself it wasn't his fault, he sneezed and went back to looking at the map, refusing to think about it any more.

Dustin Michael rolled his eyes and jumped of the helicopter. "Never said it was your fault. You're right, the world as always been slowly rotting away because of pollution and mankind, but your birth just sped it up a good 200-300 years." Dustin Michael laughed and put his arms behind his head as he walked over to look at the map. "I know where that is. Couple miles that way." He gestured north. "Shouldn't take too long, maybe half a day's journey on foot. We shouldn't take the helicopter either, too much ruins and too much of a risk to knock all that history away. But if we end up staying overnight..." Dustin called over a random villager. "Oi! We're going to need a large blanket." He flicked a small diamond at the man, who nodded and brought one large blanket out, handing it Dustin Michael who shoved it his bag.

 Christos nodded but kept looking at the map before putting it away, he smiled up and asked "So shall we get moving?"
He looked up at the sun and frowned a bit, oh this was going to be such a troublesome trip really. He knew that and reaching into his kimono again he pulled out a couple pieces of paper, looking at them he sighed, wanting to smack Dustin because he had lost one of his papers, he glared up at him and went back into the helicopter, searching around the back where he might have lost it. He sighed out of relief when he saw that the paper was there, he had even managed to bring his backpack which had all his papers and documents in it, he grabbed it and said cheerfully "Lookie what I found."
He swung the back pack from side to side still happy that he found it. He then swung it over his shoulders and felt like smiling like a fool since he still had all those papers it took a years and almost a half to find. He took out his map once more and looked at Dustin asking "Do you got a pen or something? Oh and also get us a lighter and some matchs, that or a flash light, extra batteries, and matchs."

Dustin Michael rolled his eyes. "Right, let's get walking..." He said with a sigh when he saw Christos running back into the helicopter. He almost wacked the kid when he saw Christos come back out, but instead he calmly replaied to the question. "I have a lighter and matches but I could always get a flashlight for you if you want but it's not really needed." Dustin Michael shrugged and hoisted the heavy backpack over his shoulder. He pulled out a pen from his pocket and handed it to the boy. "Here." He said. "Now lets get moving." He turend to walk past to their destination, saying goodbye to the people in the colony before they made there way into the desertthe air was brisk and hot, a huge change compaired to the mild climate of the colony they were just in. It was weird how the Earth did that now. You could be on a beach, take one step foward and end up in a rain storm. Dustin sighed and took off his bag for a moment tso he could take off his jacket. "D*** desert weather...." He cursed under his breath.

Christos smirked at Dustin and marked a check over the place he circle in Athens. Handing the pen back to Dustin he said "This isn't anything compared to the Sahra, been there before. Now the Sahra is way hotter than this."
He took a flower from one of the vines in his hair, closing his hand into a fist he crumbled it. Opening his hand once more he blew softly on the petals, saying a couple words before he did so. The petals left his hand and floated up towards the sky, he closed his eyes as a slight wind ruffled his hair. He opened his eyes after a while and took out another piece of paper, muttering somethings he put the paper away.

Dustin Michael rolled his eyes. "You're a weird one..." He muttered before shrugging off his black t-shirt, revealing his muscular chest with a large scar going down his lesf side. "I've been there too, you know. I've been everywhere. It used to be my job... to look for other humans and animals to bring to the colonies." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "That's why I know the names and faces of everyone whos left on this rotting planet." He sipped at his water. "Back then I was alone, so I guess this is nice." He smirked and looked at Christos. "Although I never would have thought that I would ever find you. Even if I was looking." He glanced at Christos, the person he had been looking for for the pst five years. He didn't care back then about saving anything except for his nephew who had just been born. He only wanted to know if they could be saved, now he finally had his answer, even if Christos was hiding things from him.
"Christos..." Was that the first time I said his real name...? "You know more then you're telling me about the whole 'stopping the end of the Earth' thing. I can tell, I'm not an idiot. Tell me everything you know this time, all right? I get that you don't know 'everything' and that's why we're doing this, but there's something you're not telling me." He glared at Christos, his eyes begging for answers.

Christos frowned and said "Fine! I'll tell you!" Ge stopped and said "I'm supposed to have a friggin' baby! Just to get the world to stop the earth from dieing and then being crumbled to pieces but metors! How am I supposed to have a baby? That's friggin' impossible!!" He felt tears run down his cheeks, damn his makeup was smeering, which was only his red eyeshadow, his eyelashes were naturally two toned.
He was having just to much pressure put on him. He couldn't handle all the pressure. He just couldn't. He wiped his tears away and ran foward, putting some space inbetween them both. He didn't want to be nesr Dustin at the moment, he slowed down a bit walking now as he sniffled softly, crossing his arms he gripped the fabric of his kimono.
