Prompt: Purple Rose-Gratitude
Character: Capricorn El Cid
Word Count: 148
It was a situation he would have never expected himself to be in. For a gold saint to have to depend on a bronze, instead of the other way around, it should have been a hit to his pride. Yet it wasn't. Injured as he was, his body on the verge of collapse from the amount of blood he had lost, he could not find it in himself to be ashamed to have the strong fighter at his side. He knew he could not accomplish what he came to do-to free his friend from the nightmare he was trapped in-without help. Not in his current state, anyway. He was uncertain if the child had his own motives for entering the fight, nor did he care. For the moment, they were united in a common fight, and he held only the deepest respect and gratitude towards the element that could tip the battle in their favor.
A/N: The next prompt, Black, starts what I call my "wildcard" chapters. The last three chapters are for colors that do not occur naturally on rose-black, green, and silver-so the meanings of these roses may be interpreted differently depending on the book/chart being referenced, or left out all together. Enjoy!
