Jason and Reyna: The Praetor's of New Rome - Truth

Until Next Time

"I figured you would be here." I said to Reyna while she walked out of the graveyard with John's dogs in tow.

Reyna looked up at me, her eyes raw from crying. She had since removed her toga and was now wearing her standard legionaries attire. Despite that, she was smiling. "You look like Superman flying up there like that."

I did a twirl in the air. "Is it the cloak? Cause this thing is really cool, check it out."

I put my fist in my hips and push my chest out. I commanded the winds to blow against me, so the cloak would flow behind me. "Check it out. Does it look cool? I feel like it looks cool."

Reyna laughed. "Your a dork."

We laughed together. I slowly descended on the ground in front of her. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

Without answering me, she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. "I am now." She whispered.

Argentum and Aurum both turned their head to the right, no doubt surprised at how my face turned redder then a tomato. She smelled like cherries for some reason. I don't know why, but she did.

"Uh. Your welcome." I managed.

Reyna laughed again and pulled away slightly. Her hands rested on my chest and my hands on her waist.

Oh my gods my hands were on her waist. We both realized we were still holding each other and let one another go. I wasn't sure if I disappointed or not.

"Can we fly somewhere?" She asked. She turned to John's dogs. "You both want to wait for me at the fifth cohort?"

The dogs seemingly smiled and ran past us. I turned my head to watch them, but they already disappeared. Even though there was nothing but grasslands all around us.

"So?" Reyna said, knocking my armor breastplate.

"Yea-sssss." I said, my armpits sweating profusely. She wrapped her arms around my neck and braced herself. I summoned the winds and we shot into the air.

"Did you have any idea where you wanted to go?" I asked her.

Reyna let one arm go so she could look at the ground below. "You think you can help me fly?"

I scrunched my eyebrows. "Um, I think I can. But it takes a lot of energy to just do myself."

I felt a rush of energy, she turned to face me with only one arm still holding the back of my neck. Her eyes glowing purple. "I can help with that."

Honestly, the energy she shared was excessive. The way she was looking at me was more then enough to get my blood flowing.

I smiled. "Sure."

I concentrated and focused the winds to get beneath her. She waved her hand below her. "This is what it feels like? It's like balancing on a surfboard."

"How would you-"

She gave me a side eye. "I'm from Puerto Rico tonto."

She let go, trusting the winds to keep her a float. "Holy- gods." She said, flaying her arms.

I laughed. "No don't flay your arms. Think of it like gliding, just let the winds carry you."

She turned around to face the grassy plains below, her arms spread out. "You'll catch me if I fall right?" She asked nervously.

I used the winds to propel me under her, my back facing the ground below. I crossed my arms. "I'm technically holding you up with the winds, so if you fall, that was on purpose."
