She couldn't remember how but all she knew and understood was that she loved him
"Kardia, hurry up! Pope Sage will get angry with you again," An all too familiar voice called. Kardia froze, doubled over in pain, and stared out of her bedroom door. Dégel stood there, waiting for her to hurry up. He smiled then froze when he saw the look on her face. He grabbed her and lay her down on the couch.
"Why didn't you call for me?" He asked, as his Cosmos cooled her burning heart.
"I was fine, idiot. It didn't hurt that much." Kardia spat, not paying attention to her cooling heart.
"Sure; and yet you were doubled over yourself; in pain. Just look at your Nail!" Dégel warned. Kardia stared at her right hand and drew back. Her right index finger held her most powerful weapon, Shula, or 'The Scorpion's Sting". When her Cosmos rose, her fingernail grew longer, deadly sharp and turned scarlet red. It was sickly sweetly nicknamed her 'Scarlet Needle'.
"Don't say a word to Pope Sage." Kardia growled, raising the nail to Dégel's throat. It was already near 4 inches long and it glowed in dark red flames. Dégel sighed and gripped her wrist. He pulled her onto her feet and she retracted her Cosmos, locking it within her heart, making the nail disappear.
"Let's go. What does Pope Sage want anyway?" Kardia asked, tossing her dark blue braid over her shoulder.
"He wants some Gold Saints to hunt down something. Search and Destroy orders." Dégel explained. Kardia lengthened her stride. If anything, she loved when these orders came through. She was always the first to offer her skills as a trained assassin.
"Hurry up, Dégel. These orders sound like great fun. New toys to play with." Kardia sang gleefully, waiting just outside the Aquarius Temple.
"I'm coming, just calm down." Dégel said, climbing up to her. Kardia smiled and raced off again. Dégel sighed and raced after her.
