Warnings: Shura and Aioria make their appearances here.

He hadn't meant to. Despite his duty being fulfilled. In spite of himself, he needed to get all that out of his chest.

Shura had killed Aioros.

Capricorn felt the anger against the other man run through his blood, poisoning him. He had been ordered to stop the traitor, and he had done so. Shura hadn't even needed to hurry after him. Sanctuary's soldiers could continue doing the running part around the place, trying to catch Aioros. He had strategically placed himself in the middle of his escape route.

'Shura, let me pass!'

Shura had refused.

And he had summoned Excalibur, and had released his power—yet, the baby had moved towards him. That little girl, the false Athena had giggled and he had doubted the Pope's words. That energy in the baby—that sparkle of a cosmos—had made him hesitate. But the Pope's orders were Athena's orders and they were the law. They were absolute.

He had hurt Aioros.

"You brought this upon yourself Aioros!" The man yelled with bitterness and anger. The man he had loved as a brother had betrayed Athena—and him.

"Shura…where's my brother?" a little Aioria asked him, his face marked with the trails of the tears shed and of the punches inflicted by the ones looking for the traitor.

"Come with me, Aioria, we're shutting this place for good."

The child couldn't understand what the old man was saying and rebuked a no that made Shura feel chills in his spine.

"Come with me brat!"

"No!" Aioria was crying this time.

"Your brother betrayed Athena! He tried to kill her!" The man grabbed the little one by the arm and dragged him out of the place.

Aioria wasn't crying anymore. Not even sobbing.

None of them ever set food on Sagittarius again.
