Another Dimension.
Walking every day around Sanctuary had become one a habit of his; one he’d strictly respect, no matter what.
Aioros had learnt to rely on his little brother’s behaviour, trusting he would do every thing Shura or his Master gave him, though most of times, Aioria would look for the other children and play all day. It was fine, he used to say to himself.
Aioros laughed. He loved that impetuosity in Aioria, and prayed it didn’t mean any trouble in the other’s future.
Sagitta was walking that day along the beach. He had taken his shoes off and had tied them, putting them on his shoulders, letting the afternoon tide bring the water of the sea to him. At times, he’d take a couple of small stones he found here and there and then threw them into the water, trying to make them hit the surface before sinking.
His feet had taken him to the basis of the cliff where Poseidon’s Sanctuary stood. It was a creepy place, or so Shura had once said when talking about the surroundings of Sanctuary. To him, those old ruins where imposing, he thought as he looked up to the highest place of Cape Sunion.
It was then that he felt it. such power was displayed across the land which was already shaking under his feet. It was unleashed power being tested and yet it was so tremendous hat he had to run, climbing the rocks hastily to the place where he felt that cosmos coming from.
He saw him. The other was panting and looked wrecked. Aioros ran to him hurriedly. Something in him seemed to have been released, though he was still trying to control it. His worry grew as he approached him.
“Saga!” he yelled, while seeing the Gemini apprentice grinned slightly at him before fainting.
Aioros reached him and caught him before Saga touched the ground and gave in to his own power. “Fool!” he shouted at him, holding him tight while looking around them and noticing the magnitude of Saga’s power. A labyrinth. “Damn fool!” he said again, full of concern.
Sagittarius sat with his friend still in his arms and unconscious. He needed him awake if he wanted to get them out of there. And patiently, he waited.
