Ophiuchus' POV
I can hear the constant dropping of the water of the stalactites. The dripping of the water is in sync with my steady yet shaken breathing. I couldn't feel my bare chest anymore from the cold. I can't even feel the chains used to restrain me. My vision blurred and my eyes are drooping from the exhaustion I have. I could've have gave in and went to sleep until something unbelievable happened.

I saw bubbles and water floating around gracefully, glimmering and shimmering in the cave light. It reminds me of someone... Heck, it must be my lack of consciousness, so I ignored it.... Until I heard soft humming.... The rhythm of the song... Remind some of someone I know again... I couldn't help but let out a cry of his name.

"Pisces!"

....Silence, until someone spoke up.

".....Hello."

The voice belongs to a female; shivery, meek sounding and soft, very much like a fairy's. "Oh... You're not Pisces..." I trailed off, head hung to the floor in despair. "Pisces huh..." the voice hummed softly. "Yeah! Pisces is a really good friend! He is nice, respectful and understanding..." I rambled, "he gets along well with Cancer and surprisingly Scorpio an— oh sorry.." I trailed off, realising I'm rambling. I heard a soft chuckle before the source of the voice stepped out. A hooded figure in an elegantly designed cape stepped out, some of her soft blonde locks naturally hung at the side.

"It's fine, you must really love your friend Pi...sces." She said softly. She almost have a comforting tone, as if saying 'don't worry, I am here for you'. I felt a warm sensation in my heart. "It's weird..." I said out loud. "I want to hug you and never let you go.. I felt a wave of safety and secureness around you... Like Taurus almost..." "Hm? Taurus huh... Well, would you like a hug?" "....I would love to." I saw the figure walking towards me, I couldn't help but to shiver from the cold. I felt her arms embracing me and like I thought, she really does make me feel safe. She is so warm. After a minute of silence, she let go of me and handed me a paper bag. I smell something edible. Food.... When is the last time I've eaten?

"For you." She said softly before turning her back at me and walking away. I opened the package and wolfed down the given food hungrily, which consists of burger and fries. "WAIT!" I found myself shouting. "W-what is your name?" She paused and turned her head to me. She hesitated but took off her hood, revealing herself to me. Her beautiful coloured eyes shimmered in the dim light as she give me a small comforting smile. "Well...... I guess it wouldn't hurt since you know them. You can call me...... Mire."

Capricorn's POV
Who is this?....
A dark haired brunette with eyes similar to Ophiuchus' smiled at us playfully, legs dangling at the edge of rocks like a little kid. She wore a black cape with elegant symbols and glyphs around it, complementing her figure. I have to admit, she is pretty. "Who are you?" Pyxis stated, deadpanning. I shifted uncomfortably as she giggled while looking at us in interest.

"Hm?~ My my, that's no way to talk to a queen, right?~ To answer your question, let's see... You can call me.... Ophiuchus' future wife!" The girl hummed. "W-what?! Ophiuchus have a fiancé?!" Pisces asked, shocked. "Heh.... I guess big brother didn't mention me?..." She said in a hurt expression. "I guess he can't handle the love we have for each other... Ah Ophiuchus, how much I want to be with you forever.... I want you to teach me everything! It's a fate we can't break from a-ny-more~"

Before we can react, a slicing sound could be heard and a gasp come out of Pyxis' mouth. Pyxis stumbled and gripped her stomach tightly, panting heavily. "Hm?~ I never guess the Mariner's Compass was this slow at reactions.... What happened to the warrior? Right, Surviver?" the girl said playfully.
