The day was beautiful・not too hot, not too cold・I had a couple of hours
off, and so I decided to go to take a walk along the shore. It always
makes me feel better. Sometimes, when I feel oppressed by something,
just the sight of the sea gives me that inner calmness that I need.
As the sunset approaches, I get melancholic・It's an attribute of the
Leo・The sun is my planet, so when I get deprived of his light, I might
get a little blue・Some of my trainees who are Leos feel the same・not
always of course, but it happens quite often.
As I walk, I realize that I am not the only one on the beach. I can
see two figures walking toward me, but the light tricks that the setting
sun creates, which are the last straws of life of a dying day, won't
let me see who they are right away・Then I spot them・y heart beats wildly
as usual when I see her・They walk together in their last promenade as
student and teacher・I keep walking toward them glad to have the chance
to say goodbye.
"HEEEEEY!!!!!" shouts the boy running toward me. He is special to me!
Not even for any of my trainees I felt the brotherly feelings I sense
for this one. Maybe it' s my devotion toward his master that makes me
feel this way・As he places a fake punch on my stomach, I grab his arm
and twisting him, I block him on the ground, then ruffle his hair・She
watches amused, and a little gloomy, I sense.
" Don't think that just because you are a Saint now you can really imagine
to make it against me!!!" He laughs out loud, " Ok! Ok! Let me go!!!
You won! You won!!" He cries among frenzied giggles as I push him on
the sand・
"Good to hear that you got it!" I joke, and then let him go・"Hey, who
am I going to look for now that I won't have anybody running away from
Marin?" I know the scene moves her・Maybe I am scared that now that Seiya
is leaving, the bond between us will be broken, if ever existed?
" Oh! Don't worry!" He replies, "It won't be difficult that somebody
runs away from Marin!!" "WHAT?" She replies with fake anger placing
her fists on her hips, and then she tickles his waist, and he runs away
from her.
" I am glad I got to see you before your departure, Seiya." I say. He
gets serious, "Thanks Aiolia. I am glad, too." Then he adds, " Hey!
I'll be back sooner than you think you know!"
" Not so soon, though" adds Marin, " I have six years to recover from!"
We laugh. He is ready to go now. " Good luck boy!" I say, and hug him,
"Thanks Aiolia" he replies, then continues, " Well・I had better get
going・ He hugs Marin, too・ hear her whispering to his ear, " Do what
I told you・do it for me!" " I will," he answers, then he goes away・
as the sun goes down, and the cycle of this day completes, another cycle
is completing today・another night is coming over me・
As Seiya walks away, I can swear Marin cries a little・"I'll miss him,
too, you know." I say, " His journey is complete, Aiolia・I knew this
day would come・and I knew he would succeed・I never doubted it!" I take
advantage of this moment where she looks at Seiya disappearing behind
the rocks to admire her・ I don't need to see her face・hat for? I love
her・I love her in everything she does and in everything she is・I find
myself imagining the face I saw last night behind that mask・ That is
the same way I imagine her・beautiful・extremely beautiful・ The sun tries
to find protection behind the sea, and my sadness increases・ I wish
I could take her in my arms・kiss her・make her mine here in the sand・give
a sense to the night that takes away the light that I need・make her
be my light・so that my day will never end, and sadness won't live in
me anymore・But nothing happens・ther than her greeting me, "I'd better
get going now." She says, "Goodnight Aiolia." I grab her hand and hold
it warmly・I wish I could see the reaction on her face. " Feel better."
I manage to say, " I will." She answers gently・br> I am glad she wasn't
mad at me for that・She walks away・he light is really gone now・really
gone・/font>
