Chapter 8 Part two
Sisyphus and Ilias walked together in silence. They had been walking for a while. [Where is he taking me?] Sisyphus wanted to ask but didnt.
"Here we are." Ilias showed a meadow with a tree standing alone. Sisyphus knew his place. This place was where he and Regulus had a little picnic. He remembered it well.
Flashback
The day was just dawning and two gold saints where already out and about heading somewhere while everyone else was just waking up.
"Come on Uncle!" Regulus shouted running up to the lone tree standing in the center of the meadow.
"I'm coming slow down!" Sisyphus shouted back at him laughing. When Sisyphus reached the tree Regulus had the blanket spread out. Sisyphus placed the basket of food down next to him. The two sat down eating and talking. Regulus was sitting right next to Sisyphus with a bright and innocent smile on his face. "Is there a reason you're so happy?" Sisyphus asked him.
"I get you, my favorite person in the Sanctuary all to myself!" The little Leo shouted hugging his uncle from the side. Sisyphus blushes and hugs back.
"Aww...thank you Regulus, you know you're my favorite person in the Sanctuary too."
"Even over Athena?" Regulus asked.
"Of course Athena may be a goddess, but even so you are my family and I promise that you'll come first. Don't be afraid to come to me."
"I won't!"
Present
Sisyphus snapped himself back from that happy moment with tears and a smile touching his face.
"The wind told me of this place. I was happy to know you and Regulus where able to find time to have picnics like that."
"We did our best to set aside time for us." Sisyphus said. "I never thought I see this place again. When I was dying in the Holy War, the only thing that came to my mind was that moment. Regulus' smile was the only thing on my mind."
Ilias places a hand on his shoulder. "When Regulus wakes we'll have a picnic here with him. But right now I want to bring you here for one. You really need to do something else besides being sad."
"Thank you." Sisyphus hugged him.
"Anything for you, my little brother." The two sat down having a little spot all to themselves away from everything. While eating Sisyphus and Ilias find a card and gift in the basket. It was from Aioria, Lyfia, and Aiolos.
Sisyphus read the card. It said: Lyfia saw this while we where shopping one day and thought that we should get this for you. We thought this would cheer you both up. And would be a great thing for Regulus when he wakes.
Sisyphus and Ilias where both shocked. It a little stuff animal. Regulus was going to love it. Ilias smiles at it himself. They where going have to thank those three for the gift and for helping them.
Back at Aquarius
Degel and Krest where sound asleep. They where sleeping peacefully in the bed when the door opened and Camus stopped himself before having Hyoga back up. He smiles as does Hyoga. The little sawn saint quietly walks in placing a card and a gift for them on the table. When they leave Krest wakes up seeing the card and gift and sits up. He takes the card and box in this hand placing it on his lap while Degel sleeps. Krest reads the card. It said: Hyoga was out one day in France and saw this he thought of you when he saw it. It was a music box:
Krest placed the key inside the slot for it and winded it up. Degel woke to the music and looked at the box in shock.
"I remember that one of my friends in Blues-Guard had a music box just like this. She taught me the song."
"There are lyrics?"
"Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings,
Once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Far away,
Long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember
And a song someone singsOnce upon a December..." She sang with a happy smile on her face remembering those days. Krest smiles at her kissing her forehead.
"I have missed your smile little snowflake." She giggled hugging him. Krest was over joyed seeing his daughter back. She was smiling again.
"Father...why Kardia?"
"I don't know. But he will wake. Have faith in him." He told her. She nodded cuddling with him. He held her tightly. [When dinner is ready and if Degel is up to eating we need to thank Hyoga and Camus for sure.] Krest noted before he and degel returned to sleep. Happy times was all they dreamt thanks to that song. It was amazing. A peaceful dream they dreamt. Memories brought from deep down from their hearts to play as dreams.

Me: What do you all think now?
Regulus: I thought it was sweet.
Krest: It was thank you, Kodo.
Me: Ur welcome.
Degel: Yes thank you.
Me: *giggling* well looks like next chapter Lugonis, the red fishy will have to wake up.
Lugonis: Really? "Red fishy"?
Me: You hair is red and you zodiac sign is the fish! And also I'm going to make you pay for traumatizing poor Albafica the way that you did. No one...and I mean NO ONE needs that to happen before them.
Lugonis: I knew it.
Albafica: Don't torture him to much, I have forgiven him for that.
Me: Okay...fine.
Albafica: Thank you.
Me: OH! Before we go! One other thing, you two aren't poisonous which means you can finally get that long over due Leo-Hug-Sneak Attack!
Pieces: Huh?
Leos: Surprise! *hugs the Pieces saints*
Sagittarius: *not amused*
Pieces: Ack! *jumps*
Regulus: Kodo was right it was over due.
Me: Of course. Leo hugs are the best! Its one of many reasons why Sagittarius can't seem to sure their Leo companion.
Pieces: Thanks.
Leos: Any time! :3
Sagittarius: *emo corner*
Leos: *look over concerned then attacks them with a hug*
Degel: *whispering with Krest and Camus* Oddly enough I'm finding this entertaining.
Camus: I know.
Krest: It is interesting.
Me: What are you three whispering about? *whispering with them*
Aquarius: Nothing.
Me: Lairs.
Aquarius: Maybe...
Dohko: I can wait to see what happens.
Shion: I know maybe we get some lines in the next chapter.
Me: Oh, I'm sorry you two! All you had to do was say something!
Shion and Dohko: it's fine.
*Milo and Kardia in the corner reading something*
Me: Milo, Kardia what are you reading?
Milo: Nothing.
Me: *Takes the book from them* (0/0) Seriously idiots!?
Regulus: What?
Me: They where reading filth. *Shows the title "Ninjas of Love"*
Degel: *cold cosmo flares* KARDIA!
Kardia: Crap! Gotta run! *runs away with Degel chasing after him*
Me: What was that about? I know she puts her name on her books and this doesn't have her name in the slightest.
Krest: It's because she told him never to read stuff like that.
Everyone else: Hm?
Krest: Kardia and Degel made a deal. If Degel taught Kardia to read then had to promise not to read filth like that. *Points to "Ninjas of Love"*
Me: Well it wont be here much longer. Leos if you please.
Leos: *lighting around their fists* Okay!
*Ninjas of Love destroyed*
Everyone (expect Degel and Kardia): Until next time! *winks*
