Getting to Know You
Chapter-1. That Papery thing is called 'Book'.
Well, Well…Another English fic from me. It has been some time since I wrote the last one. This is going to be about the friendship of Kardia and Degel when they're still 12, and still in training to be the mighty gold saints we all know. So let's start the story !
Disclaimer : Saint Seiya the Lost Canvas does not belongs to me.
"WILL YOU GUYS JUST STOP IT ?" The young Aries cried out. He's tired of watching Kardia kept fighting with Manigoldo, they've been fighting since the first time they laid their eyes on each other .Such as throwing rocks, having a food fight which also includes throwing knives and forks around, and the worst is when they were both set up to fight in the training session. Manigoldo tried to rip Kardia's soul out of his body and Kardia tried to pierce Manigoldo into a cheese.
Kardia and Manigoldo kept on fighting, ignoring Shion.
" I don't understand why do they hate each other so much. They're both have lots of similarities !" Shion said while he sat down leaning on a rock next to his best friend Dokho.
" What similarities ?" Ask the young tiger.
" They both love fighting, they're both arrogant, and they're both merciless when it comes to a fight ."
" That is why they both hate each other so much. They just want to be number 1 in those terms, and neither Manigoldo nor Kardia will give up the title of being the cruelest saint and they'll fight for it." Degel answered the question. He had always tried to be helpful even though his words and presence were always as cold as ice.
" And I guess you're aiming for the title of the most Intelligence saint ?" said the future Libra saint. He's just trying to funny. But Degel just walked away, holding a book in his hand.
" Does that guy ever smile even just once in his life ? "Dokho stood up while he watch Degel walked away.
"My master told me that the saint of Aquarius must throw away all his feelings in order to achieve the coldness of Absolute zero."
"Does he even have a heart ?"
" He does, but it has already been frozen, years ago." Dokho looked at Shion, he didn't believe what he just heard and stared at the direction Degel went. He can still see some snowflakes floating.
" Hey, Where's Albafica ?" Dokho turned around to Shion. Tried to change the subject.
" I don't know, but my Master said that he locked himself up the Pisces temple. " Dokho looked at Shion's expression and noticed that he was worried about Albafica. The situation in the training ground must have upset him. Start from Kardia and Manigoldo's fight, then the coldness of Degel, and Albafica's state.
Kardia was sitting on a rock, taking a break from his endless fight with Manigoldo and wondering why Shion has been acting all weird that morning then he spotted Degel passed through. He knew about Degel yet he hadn't talk to him. Maybe Degel is worthy enough to be his opponent he thought.
" HEY ! You there ! The one with that bunch of papery thing ! " Kardia jumped off the rock
" This papery thing is called book " Degel corrected him.
" Whatever, hey…would you like to fight me ?" he smiled, pointing his needle, ready to strike.
" I'm not interested in fighting." He replied shortly.
" What ? Not interested in fighting ? Are you even a saint ?"
Degel said nothing and walked away leaving the future Scorpio saint standing, still in his battle stance, but when Kardia tried to chase him, he could feel that his feet has been frozen to the ground, unable to move. Manigoldo came and seeing his dear rival froze to the ground, he let out a laugh which caught Kardia's attention.
" What are you laughing at ?" Kardia growled at him.
" Laughing at a tiny Scorpion whose feet are glued to the ground. " He laughed again.
" What did you mean by that CRAB ?" Kardia talked back.
" Oh, you still want to pick a fight with that state ? It's okay by me !" Manigoldo smirked evilly, even devil's smirk wouldn't be able to compare to Manigoldo's when it comes to evilness. Manigoldo prepare to attack.
" HEY ! WAIT ! THAT'S NOT FAIR " Kardia tried to dodge every hit Manigoldo launched, but it is hard to dodge when his feet were froze to the ground. And he ended up founded dying by Sisyphus with his feet still froze to the ground.
"OUCH !" Kardia shouted as he was being treated by Sisyphus.
" That Degel ! Why did he do that ? and Manigoldo have to pay for what he did !" Kardia kept gritting his teeth as he would really love to chew Manigoldo's head off. "OUCH !"
" Kardia, you better learn from what you just experienced this morning. " Sisyphus tried to give his hardheaded junior an advice which he believe will just ignore the advice.
"You should try to be like Degel." That last word caught Kardia's attention.
" You mean I have to sit still and read that papery thing ?" Kardia hate it when his senior compare him with others, especially when it is his comrade.
" Those papery things are called 'books', Kardia ." Sisyphus didn't need to lift his eyes from Kardia's wound, but he can see Kardia's annoyed look.
As soon as Sisyphus treated Kardia's wound, he ran off as quick as he could, back to his temple. Still thinking of what Sisyphus just said. 'Try to be like Degel' Those 5 words really bugged him off. He can't even sleep. And try to go investigate what's so great about Degel ? He tried to be made his steps quieter when he passed through the Sagittarius unaware of Sisyphus' presence behind the pillar, he smiled while he watch the curiosity of his junior. Kardia ran through the Capricorn temple quiet fast, knowing El Cid, was away for a mission given by the pope.
Kardia finally reached the Aquarius temple, panting…he can see his breathes because it's really cold at night, but he can still feel the different coldness from inside the temple of the water bearer.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night ?" A voice called out.
To be continued…
What do think about it ? I guess it's quite predictable whose voice was that. But, I hope you like the Story, even the first part of the story was not really good. And I think that this first chapter is kinda short. But I promise I will make it longer in the next chapter.
Tell me your opinion about his fic^^
And as always…Please Review
