Nico stood on the white stone steps leading up to the villa above. He looked out over the city
perched on the hillside, like an ivory waterfall frozen in time. Beyond it, sapphire waters gleamed in the late morning sun.
Nico blinked and he used his hand to shade his eyes. Santorini was a bright city, like a jewel in the EGNC.
He considered it flashier than his home island of a naffy, but beautiful too, in its own
unique way.
He turned back toward the villa and took the steps to at a time. It didn't want to waste a single moment of his day off.
Nico worked at the villa as a scuba diving instructor. He also took visitors on tours
of the city through its rambling avenues and twisting back alleys. He led hikes and walks, taught kayaking, and even did back country adventures of a
particularly enthusiastic guests.
It was a fun job.
He got to do all the things he enjoyed and share them with others. But on his day off he relished the
time he had to himself. For the most part every visitor to the island wanted to do the
same things and he couldn't blame them. He went to tourist spots when he travelled to. Nico cherished his
days off because it allowed him to explore the less frequented areas of the island. At the top of the steps, he took a path leading around to the back of the
villa. The owners were kind enough to let him stay in a small apartment that was partially detached from the guest area. He had his own entrance
and a window that looked out over the sea. This little apartment was his sanctuary. He loved walking up to it from the path and seeing its white washed walls stand out
against the bright blue sky. At same blue, coloured, the painted, double doors leading inside.
His living space was simple, but he had everything he needed. One war was decorated with photographs of his family and friends back home.
On another war, a delicate fishing net, which was strung with glass beads that reflected light from the window. It cast rainbows throughout the apartment, which danced with the passing
clouds outside. Niko laid down on his bed to think. He hadn't yet decided what to do with his free time. He could head
into town and wander around the market or go for a hike. He hadn't walked the cobblestone path from Farah to Iah in a while.
It was one of his favourites.
As he contemplated the options, his gaze wandered out of the window to the crystal clear sea
below. There was an area out beyond his normal
dive zone that he'd been meaning to explore. He always stopped short of it when he had guests as it was a little farther than he was comfortable taking new divers.
But someone as experienced as he was, it would be an easier afternoon dive.
and you'll die.
