Jay loved hide and seek. He was perfect at slipping into small spaces and turning into mist that perfectly camouflaged his features. Unlike his friends, who turned into grey cloudy mist, he turned into invisible or white mist.

"Ready or not... Here I come!" Rain floated around the cloud-playground, searching for traces of giggling cloud-nymphs. As sly as a hawk, Jay crept behind Rain, tapping his head once in awhile in his invisible mist form.

"Who's that?" Rain spun around in the direction where Jay was standing. No puffs of grey or white smoke or mist floating in midair. Jay was surprised that Rain saw right through him.

"Rain... psst... it's me! Jay!" Jay whispered into his bff's ear.

"Wait... whaaaat??? Where are you?" Rain frantically turned in circles.

"Just follow my voice." Jay hissed and he stomped his mist-feet and head to the empty library. He turned himself back to nymph-form as he turned to face an astonished Rain.

Jay dropped his head as Rain slowly paced towards him. "Heavens and hell, what was that bro?" Rain asked, "You were invisible!"

"Long story man. My mist form is invisible." Jay answered.

"Is that how you manage to sneak off in the middle of lessons or in the middle of recess to 'explore' and wander off to the 'lower' world?"

"Sorta... But I don't 'explore' at recess. I'm just running away from pesky girls."

"Man, you should be happy with your attention. White-blond hair and blue eyes? Girls love it. Me, with my hair and eyes, I'm just a regular cloud-nymph hanging out with the most popular cloud-nymph."

"When will you stop pointing out my blue eyes? You know they're weird..."

"Yo, dude, chill." Rain reassured his buddy, "You seriously remind me of that 'sacred verse' of the Prophecy, you know? "

"How am I supposed to relate with 'The blue jay soars with freedom's might?' "

"Well... I dunno. I'll be going now, toodle~doo." Rain bounced away whistling like a blue jay.

Jay sighed. No one would understand the situation he was in. The lower world, which he heard was called "Earth", were filled with terrible gossips and flirts (the dryads)and goat-legged men(the satyrs). The watery lower world, called the 'ocean' were filled with wingless birds with flippers (fish) and some cloud nymphs that escaped cloud world into the lower world. They were the water nymphs, like him, but in the ocean.

Sometimes he would see water nymphs, or more like a water nymph swim up to the surface, with dark black hair like a raven and blue eyes as deep as the sea. Beautiful, he thought. She was as curious as him, wanting to know beyond his element, but rules forbid it. Somewhere above him, the school bell rang. Uggh... Recess was over. Slowly, he floated gently towards his classroom with a grunt.
