The kiss to her knuckles made her cheeks flare up. Rey was left stunned by the act, unsure of how to process it. If it was an innocent gesture or affection, or if it meant more. But....it felt nice. She watched on, her heart beating hard against her chest as Finn left her, fading into the night and disappearing.

She looked back to his vacant spot, already missing it. She enjoyed talking to him and just....being near him. A feeling she had with Artemis but not this strongly? Or maybe she was over thinking things. Either way, she eagerly looked toward for tomorrow....

Which, sadly didn’t turn out the way either God intended. Demeter found out her daughter had a visitor. She scolded Rey for getting close to someone she didn’t know and as punishment, sent Rey to the deserts. The young goddess was tasked with surviving in such a harsh climate and creating plants that would thrive too.

So when Finn went back to the same spot, he would find the land bare and tree withered.
