Leave in the Dusk

Leave in the Dark is a fanfiction written by BakaYellow. The story tells of the adventure faced by a son of Aphrodite, Shiloh, and his quest to take his best friend, Paige, who has served as the Hostess of the primordial goddess Hemera, to the nearest sister city of Athens.

Summary
15 year old Shiloh Yazzie has always beared with his one-sided best friend, Paige Begaye. They were polar opposites - he would never talk, and she would never shut up. It wasn't until Paige's 15th birthday when things got weird. When the sun sets and Shiloh hasn't returned home, Paige dies in front of his eyes. At that moment, Shiloh has his first "true" meeting with the primordial goddess of the day, Hemera, who explains to him that she needs to get to an Athenian city in order to leave her human form and restore complete control over the day. When the sun rises again, Paige revives and they set out for wherever the nearest plane can take them.

Hemera's Day and Hosting Process
During the winter, there are limited daylight hours, as most people could tell you. In these times, she becomes rather weak and stressed, due to Demeter demanding shorter hours of daylight in honor of her daughter. To prevent becoming too weak to start bringing more daylight back in summer and spring, she takes on the body of a man or a woman with a strong will and endurance. She adapts to their personality and changes to suit them, living out their fall and winter days for them.

When she took on the body of Paige Begaye, however, she was supposedly "trapped" somehow, and remained there for almost 6 years, until she finally convinced her friend Shiloh to help out, knowing he was a son of Aphrodite gifted with one of the strongest Charmspeak powers she'd ever seen.
