Ilmelune: Cancer's Role (A Zodiac Book)

7) The Faith

A/N
I can't say I'm sorry for the long break but I do apologise for those who really dig this book.
Still not out of my hiatus.

-Flashback-

"Yeah, I'm sorry. But now maybe we can just-"

With that we hear a zipping through the air and a loud crash behind our tree.

"TROY, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!" Matt screams.

"Oh..." We both whisper.

Cancer POV

Tension hung thick in the air and the footsteps of a Scorpio gets louder.

"Please Miki, help me out of this. I've got to do this." I plead.

"B-but,"

"Please,"

"Fine," she breathes out. She shakily turns to face Matt's direction. "I've handled storms before, this'll just be more difficult."

"Thank you." I say.

She steps out of the silhouette of the big tree. Using her footsteps to my advantage I step backwards as she steps, ever closer to my destination.

"Mikhaela?" Matt asks confused. "What are you doing here? Where's Troy?" I hear.

"I- I was a-actually wondering the same thing."

"Why are you here? And why the stutter?"

"Don't you love to question?" She nervously says. "You do know that your rage can fill anyone with fear, right?" She covers.

"Fair point. Where is he? I can sense him here." His anger slowly seeping away.

"Are you sure that it's not me? I mean we're both water signs?"

Their voices start becoming echoes as I am enveloped in the shadows of the Dark Woods, a silver khopesh in hand. "I lead them here, now I'll lead them back."

I run deeper into the woods as I hear Matt and Mikhaela fly away. What could be so important that would make Matt leave so quickly?

I almost trip as a vision passes through my mind. A large grey and silver city at the edge of the mountain's feet. Moonlight that lends that place an otherworldly glow. And the final image of a waterfall at an imposing height, Prayer Falls.

That vision would have caused me to trip....   were it not for the many white beasts surrounding me.

Leo POV

I was having fun watching the other signs practise with their weapons when I notice the lack of the feminine signs. The water signs and the earth signs have gone? Where could they be? I can see both air and fire signs training from the small garden in between the two courts, a garden that could use some feminine touch. Maybe from Troy.
