Chapter Four: Cancer
"Cancer headed for the cape where Virgo waited. The sun was setting into the ocean. Would he finally see her?"
(actual lines found on the coin's back)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cancer left the other Zodiacs to their own machinations and quickly walked away. He strolled across the land, letting his feet guide him to his location. Through forests, fields and fen he marched, looking as though he knew not where he went.
Yet this was untrue, for the God acted this way to throw off suspicions. He wished to appear to be searching for a prized treasure to give his beloved Virgo, but he actually was heading to her home. Soon he came to a cape on the western coast, knowing that this was where Virgo resided.
He climbed the hill that was her home, letting the setting sun light his way. During his travel he thought of her beauty and the way that she treated everything as her equal. He hoped to change that with his daring adventure to see her before the appointed time. Would she be surprised to see him?
As he crested the incline, he found another Zodiac waiting at the top, but it was not Virgo. Shocked at this discovery, Cancer walked over to the other God with hatred in his eyes.
To be continued…

A/N: Yet another Stellazzio down, now there are only nine more left. Oy, too bad that this will a story with thirteen chapters, it bodes ill for the outcome. I apologize for the brevity of this section, I hope to make it up to you with the next one. Anyhoo, as usual tell me what you thought of this chapter, your comments bring some joy to my life. Yes, I'm that pathetic. Farewell. ^_^ (August 29, 2002)
Oh yeah, as a closing note, this goes out to Pikapoo8 the Vivi Freak and to any others who wonder when I will get to writing their Zodiac sign. I am writing the chapters following the order in which you find the coins in the game. So the order will look like this: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and finally Ophiuchus. Looking at it right now, this is also the order for the Zodiacs in the horoscopes. And knowing my luck, mine happens to fall as the next to last chapter. I hate being a pisces. *starts to mutter* Anyway, bye again. ^_^
