My head became a hell of thoughts. No matter how I try to shut it down and focus on anything else, it would go back to what decisions should I take.

I was sat outside the 11th house—now I spent most of the time outside trying to clear my mind. – playing with ice. I could get a glimpse of Aphrodite's deadly garden from where I stood, and mindlessly started to reproduce ice flowers. "Taking a break might help to sort my priorities"

Priorities….this word.

Athena, justice, Aurora, myself. Non, Athena, Aurora, justice, myself.

What am I even thinking...- I shook my head as if someone could read and judge my thoughts.

I'm decided. I'll stop Hyoga... not because I believe he's wrong but because he's not ready to fight like a saint. Mon Dieu, he's not ready even to pass through the third house

Oh, about that…Gemini. If the pope is actually Saga—non, I'm sure it's him - then I really need to stop Hyoga even if I have to freeze him, literally.. And after this, I must find a way to convince the others and expose Saga and his madness.

I sighed, tired of my own monologue.That will be the hardest part.

Suddenly, I was on the ground, immobilized by my own girlfriend that attacked from behind.

-What on earth are you doing?

-Testing you. If you think too much in a battle, this might be your death.

Right, my piece of reality has arrived and dragged me from the hellish pit of thoughts. Brutally

-I can't believe I'm out for two weeks and I find you so out of guard like that, tsc.- she said still sat on my back, twisting my arm behind my neck.

- You're completely right, can you release me now?

-Will you beg for your enemy? – she whispered on my ear.

I made small ice cubes fall on her head just for distraction, making she let me go for a second. I quickly switched places with her. –Miss me?- I whispered

-Maybe.- She stole me a kiss. Is everything ok? What are those things that I broke…flowers?

-Oh, nevermind.- I got embarrassed- I was bored.

She approached me.- Will you make me one someday?

-Sure, a better one. I'll make you one that never melts.

She nodded and smiled, like I've gave her a compliment, which made me confused. If she is happy, I am happy, I don't have to understand everything.

We layed on the rocks gazing the sky, her head on my shoulders, completed defenseless and relaxed.

-They're coming in a week , right? How are you? – She fitted me, seriously.

-I don't care. If I have to fight, so be it. It's part of my duty to protect this house and the world. And you.

She gave me a look – I don't feel threatened by Hyoga in any way.

-Me neither – I couldn't contain my sarcasm so she pinched my arm. –But as his master, I would like to, someday. Do you promise you won't try to interfere?

She looked away , thoughtfully. – Only if you tell me what did you see that night there in France, while you were sleeping.

I took a deep breath, feeling like a fool to have someone playing with my mind.

-An illusion, a trap. Me and you, we were older, we had a family and we were attacked. They took you from me. That's sounds silly but the person behind this is a true mastermind. Happy now? Will you stay out of the battles.

She faced me, surprised and hesitating.

She won't stay quiet, I know. That's why I love her.

-We had a family, eh? – she whispered on my ear-That's cute.

I rolled my eyes, embarrassed.

-This is not the point and you didn't answer my question.

-Were we married?- She started seducing me again.

-Aurora, please.- I tried to be firm but I'm afraid my lack of will became evident on my voice as she started kissing my neck.

She impatiently stopped and sighed. – Fine, I'll do my best. Just shut up.

-Good. – I assented with a smile even though I doubted that it would be that easy. –Let's go home, I missed you.- I stood up, taking her with me as we headed home.

Et pour le reste ça n'appartiens qu'à nous
