PLACE: Faycassio Sea
SPECIFIC PLACE: Gemini, status: Ship
“I really can’t believe that we are actually going on that city.” said Librio habang kunot noong nakatingin sa asul na karagatan. Kasalukuyan na sila noong naglalakbay papunta sa City of Cassiopeia.
“We have no choice but to follow them. Unless otherwise Violet will take the Celestial stone to us… and I don’t want that to happen. I swear to protect the stone even if it costs my very own life.” seryosong wika ni Capri habang pinagmamasdan naman ang ulap na animo ay sumusunod sa kanila.
Then mahabang katahimikan ang namayani sa paghitan nilang magkapatid until Grinnelle arrives.
“Hi guys!!! Enjoying the view??” masiglang bati nito sa dalawang kapatid. Sabay halos na bumuntonghininga sina Librio at Capri.
“I don’t know where you’re getting that energy of yours. This sea is so gloomy.” Iiling iling na lang na wika ni Librio.
“It’s because winter is coming! And we should celebrate!!”
“Celebrate?” takang tanong ni Capri.
“We have a new member in this ship!” masayang ani Grinnelle na ang tinitukoy ay si Azalea.
“That cold looking woman? I don’t think this is time to celebrate… look at Violet, she looks as gloomy as this sea. I wonder what she’s feeling…”
“hmmmm…. That is what we called the youth of jealousy!” pagpoproklama ni Grinnelle habang nakangiting nakatingin kay Violet na palihim nga namang tinitingnan ang magkakausap na sina Lian, Drake, Azalea at Earl.
“Y..youth of what??” di makapaniwalang tanong ni Librio.
“Jealousy… that’s what I heard.” Said Capri.
“That’s right!! Well isn’t it obvious! Our dear sister…. The Virgin Maiden is in love with that man.”
“Earl??? She’s in love with Earl? Well that was fast… she only met him for days!” mahinhin pero gulat pa ding wika ni Capri.
“And not only that…she’s a Celestial fairy… one of the members of the Descendants of the Zodiac. It will be a disgrace to love a fairy not belonging to our kind.
Inakbayan sila ni Grinnelle. “Little sister… love has no time… you will just feel it when you feel it.”
“Well… whatever… I still think that’s stupidity.” Pagkoconclude ni Librio sabay walk out.
“What’s his problem?” kunot noong ani Grinnelle. “I always knew he’s stubborn but this is love we’re talking about.”
Mahinang nagsalita si Capri. “We are not born to love freely. You know that Grinnelle. Our own life is not ours. Once fate decide what’s best for us we have no choice but to follow it since its the tradition of our family. We, the Descendants of the Zodiac have a life but not ours. Our life was given by the stars and as a return of the favor we should follow them.” said Capri sabay alis na sa lugar na iyon. Naiwan namang tahimik lamang si Grinnelle. Then her joyful eye turned into sadness. Well for the record, her little sister is right. They have no right to choose which person to love. The stars have to say whose right for you. The wind blew on her direction at hindi nya napansin si Earl na nakalapit na pala sa kanya.
“The flowers will dry seeing you like that you know.” Puna ni Earl kay Grinnelle na labis ikinagulat ng huli.
“You gave me a heart attack there… I thought you’re there with Azalea and the others?”
