A Peek into
Their Lives
by Narwe Silverflame
1. WISE
As
he saw his former friend and present enemy standing before him in all
his former glory, wearing the dark Surplice, Dohko no Libra realized,
not for the first time, that not even the wise could predict every
possible course of events.
2. CHAIN
Athena
stepped again into the Sanctuary, her Cosmo filled every corner and
Aiolia could finally relax in his private chambers of the Fifth
House, telling himself that it weren't the chains and fear that had
kept him in this place during Saga's reign but the unwavering
loyalty to his goddess, even if she hadn't been there at that time.
3.
STOMPING
It
was one fine summer morning when Aphrodite woke up early to go enjoy
the peaceful atmosphere of his private garden but got the shock of
his life when he saw that sometime during the night Aldebaran had
once again been stomping through his
precious roses, probably in a drunken haze, though this time the
Taurus Saint was going to pay!
4. IGLOO
When the
sun only half descended behind the horizon its shape remarkably
resembled an igloo, noted Camus during one freezing winter evening,
wondering absently why its red blood colour, the colour of war and
strife, seemed to fit this strange igloo so well when its usual
colour was that of peace, serenity and safety – white.
5.
BALISTIC
The day
when Milo brought his prank-loving girlfriend for the first, and
last, time to his House was the day when Shaka opened his eyes only
to find out too late that Somebody had switched his bottle of shampoo
with Something Else and went ballistic, causing that day to be
forever remembered as the Day When Somebody Managed To Impress Death
Mask.
6. STAR
A lonely
figure was slowly making his way towards the Star Hill during the
middle of the night to think in peace about the strange happenings in
the Sanctuary, about the Pope's unusual behaviour and about
Aiolos's betrayal, puzzling all the while over why is it that for
the first time not even one star could be seen from this, the most
sacred of places.
7. INFANT
The box
was carefully opened and Mu's eyes widened in horror as he saw that
the item lying inside it was the brilliant golden dagger which was
years ago meant to take the life of an infant, which was wielded by
the hand of a misguided Gold Saint and which was somehow destined to
spill the blood of a God.
8. HOLE
He
knew very well how his own attack worked;
it created a rip in the dimension, a hole which could be manipulated
and sucked everything in, yet could it be, thought the Gemini Saint
placing his right hand over his heart, that this suffocating feeling
in his chest was only a side effect of this hole and had nothing to
do with his past actions?
9. TAIL
A
lion is a fierce creature of pride, of courage, its roar scares the
enemies from miles away, its massive paws are a fearsome weapon, its
talons a killing machine meant to defeat those who oppose it; to put
the tail between the legs and run is for a lion much worse than to
lose it in a fight and Leo no Aiolia knows this very well.
10. SKY
Sitting
in the middle of the night on an open plain under the wide sky is a
unique experience, being especially so if at the same time you
realize that what you're staring at is like a parchment with golden
stars forming into signs, radiating power you can feel all too
keenly, knowing that on the midnight sky your
destiny is written.
Did I mention these drabbles will be Goldies-only? No? Well, now you know.
