Reasons to escape...
"Come on Saga, let's go play." Lucria said happily as she tugged on his arm.
"Not today Lucria. Canon is going to watch you for now until I come back." Saga smiled as he carried Lucria over to Canon.
"Canon!" Lucria reached her arms out towards Canon. Canon smiled and held her gently. "I wanna play Canon."
"Yeah I know, we'll play together." Canon said calmly.

Lucria woke up looking at the ceiling. "What the..."
"Good. You're awake." Canon said as he pressed his hand against Lucria's cheek. He laid right next to her.
Lucria swiped his hand away and looked at the entrance. "I'm leaving." she said clearing her throat. "You have no control over me Canon. Neither you nor Saga anymore."
"Now you can't leave princess...It just doesn't work that way. You passed out from attacking Siren and if you leave the pillar then you will die. How will Athena react to that?" Canon said with a smirk.
"..." Lucria made a fist and turned to Canon.
Canon still had that smirk on his face. "Lucria, I can't let you harm yourself anymore. I don't want you to be alone out there."
"...Canon." Lucria looked at him. Her eyes felt his cosmos try to reach her. "You and Saga are just alike but you both act different. It's your eyes...those beautiful green eyes."
Canon pulled Lucria into his arms and kissed her gently. "Like you said, I am different from Saga."
Lucria closed her eyes. She felt safe but then again she was confused. "Yes, but is that a good thing?" she asked herself.
Canon watched Lucria's facial expression and sighed, "I didn't want you to find out who I was this way. After Saga had stopped you from visiting me, I knew that you would forget who I was. You wouldn't even remember my name at least."
"No. I remember your face. I just can't remember names. I couldn't remember Saga when his appearance changed. His eyes were different in a fearsome way. His cosmos was dangerous even to my body." Lucria said sadly. "But why can't I reach Ceres now?"
"I ceased her cosmos from being exposed in this pillar." Canon explained, "So it would be easier to handle you. For my sake that is. Poseidon does like you though. Not that it is any of my business."
"Jealous are we?" Lucria looked at Canon with a grin. "No wonder you looked like you would harm Poseidon if he laid a hand on me..." She closed her eyes and sensed new cosmos. "Hey, it's-"
"Damn bronze knights." Canon released Lucria and headed outside the pillar. "Stay here Lucria."
"No need to tell me. I know that I'm screwed if I leave." Lucria thought crossing her arms. "I wonder how Sienna is holding up in the mainstay..."
Inside the mainstay, the water was at least have a foot high. Sienna stood in place praying silently. Her cosmos was spreading within the mainstay gently as she knew that she would be rescued. "I won't give up." she thought. "Please Seiya, only you and the bronze knights can save Lucria and I from Poseidon's grasp."
"She won't get away. I'll make sure of that." Poseidon said as Tethys kneeled down in front of him. "Ceres won't be able to do a thing either. Not with Sea Dragon holding her down. Soon the oceans shall absorb the lands."
"Oh Lord Poseidon, shall I check up on the girls to make sure that they won't do anything foolish?" Tethys said with a smile.
"No! Those women are fine and they are worth trusting." Poseidon said with out hesitating. "I trust Sea Dragon with Ceres. I haven't sensed her cosmos any way so everything is fine."
"Hmph. I don't trust that Sea Dragon. He's too cocky." Tethys muttered.
