"Leo was waiting for the sun to set into the ocean. Then Cancer showed up and they began to fight. Into the ocean they fell."

As the gathering of the Zodiacs started to disband, Leo quickly set forth to the cape where Virgo lived. Unlike the other Gods in the order, he was bold in his pursuit of the maiden's heart. He did not care who saw him approach the goddess before the scheduled time. If he had a fault, it was that he was too impetuous.

The young God arrived at the cape at mid afternoon and climbed the hill overlooking the water. There he waited until the sun began to sink into the ocean below, partaking in the beauty as the sky lit up with the dying flames of the heavenly body.

As the bright orb sank to its middle, Leo heard a noise come from behind him. He turned his head to see the figure of Cancer standing before him. When the other God saw him, he charged forward with violence in his eyes. The only thing for Leo to do was meet his foe half way.

When the two angry Zodiacs met, they grappled each other vying for the upper hand. They checked each other strength, tested their grips, and clawed at each other's face. Neither asked for quarter nor gave it.

Cancer, being the older of the two, soon gained an advantage over his junior. He pushed his opponent nearer to the cape's precipice, hoping to shove him over the edge. The two Gods inched their way to the brink until Leo was balanced precariously on the rim.

With one final thrust, Cancer sent his adversary to the depths below. Yet with his final movement before his demise, Leo clutched Cancer's arms, drawing him down to the abyss as well. The two Zodiacs tumbled into the ocean, sending ripples across the water.
