The Name Endymion...

Part Three: Faces of War...

Chapter Four...

	The twin setting suns cast a blood red glow apon the 
resort buildings before us. It seemed the walls were all 
painted in gold and red, and all shone with a supernatural 
light. All this I took in as I stood beside Jadeite at the 
entrance of it; the large resort built by those of the Moon 
Kingdom. We were dressed in civilian cloths, nothing which 
set us apart in anyway from the other patrons who spent 
their time on this world. 
	Jadeite and I exchanged few words on our way here. 
We had teleported to a deserted road leading here, and had 
walked the rest of the way in the mortal fashion. Apparently 
my other generals had set up our temporary base here. 
	Despite the fact that this world was not as old as 
others in this galaxy, it was well developed in the way of 
technology and population. This resort was one of many found 
on this world, located near one of the capital cities. The 
location of this resort was far from where the previous 
battle had been fought; that area was far from all 
civilisations. Serenity and Diamond had gone there on a date 
to be alone. Mars had come for reasons I could only guess as 
being to check on the princess. 
	But that hardly mattered now, did it?
	"Now you understand how I feel, Jadeite," I finally 
whispered. "Can you feel yourself being torn? What matters 
more? Your duty, or your love? I have made my choice, but I 
have nothing now except for duty. And though you may make 
the same choice as I have, you can not betray me."
	Jadeite was silent, and that was unusual for him. 
He liked nothing better than to speak his thoughts, even 
when they were not desired. 
	"But you can always dream, knowing she loves you in 
return. That is not so for me. Yes, Serenity loves me, but 
she has already said that she will not give her heart to me. 
And that may as well interpret to she hates me for she 
bestows her affections on another," I continued sadly. 
	My general turned to face me then, his face dark and 
filled with frustration. "Why have I been cursed like so?" 
he demanded. "Why haven?t I the right to love whom I desire?"
	"Direct your questions to the gods, Jadeite. I have 
not the answers, and never will, though I have asked the 
same questions you do," I replied, and turned my face to the 
heavens. 
	The second sun had just dipped below the horizon, 
and the sky was now on fire, with the streaks of clouds 
looking much like flames burning. Strangely, I was in a 
state of calm. The calm before the storm perhaps. Only time 
would tell how I would react to this. 
	Jadeite stormed off then, upset at the world in 
general. One could not blame him though. He was finally 
realising how unfair the universe was, and the pains of love. 
	I smiled softly to myself and followed him. What else 
could I have done? Find a dark dank cave and curl up in it?s 
deepest part and weep? And where would that leave me? What 
would it achieve? It was more productive to live a pained 
life than no life at all. Besides, night was falling, 
covering this side of the world in darkness. Hopefully, she 
would fade from my mind at least for tonight. Pray that 
there be no moons orbiting this world. Or that none would be 
visible tonight. 
	Jadeite was out of sight. In the time when my mind 
had wandered, he had disappeared into the extensive faculties 
available at the resort. This was not a good day. Well, at 
least finding my generals would take my mind off other 
matters.
	I walked slowly around the resort, which by now was 
devoid of sunlight, and was lit as bright as day by torches 
planted into the ground around the paths and key buildings. 
I came apon a body of water centred in the resort. It was 
quiet now; most of the guests having gone to the dining 
halls. There was a small but very pretty waterfall at one 
end, and a sandy beach at the other where some lounge chairs 
were situated. They seemed to beckon me, and so I surrendered 
to them. I was tired and I wanted to rest for just a little 
while, and perhaps stare up at the stars like I had often 
done when I led an Innocent Life back on the planet Earth. 
	Letting myself sink down into the lounge chair, I 
stretched out my long legs and laid back, closing my eyes as 
I did so. This was the life. If not for all the other burdens 
that sat apon my shoulders. 
	"A lovely night, is it not?" I girl?s voice asked 
quietly from beside me.
	I started, having thought I was alone. Opening my 
eyes and turning my head, I found that a small girl was 
sitting in the previously empty chair beside me. She was 
perhaps a year or two younger than me, and quite small in 
build. Every feature about her was delicate and sweet, being 
fine boned. She was graced with long, slightly wavy black 
hair that fell in cascading waves down to the small of her 
waist, and contrasting bright blue eyes with gold and silver 
flecks. 
	"Yes, it is," I finally managed to answer. I let my 
eyes take her slight figure in. She was clothed in a simple 
dress which was sleeveless. On her bare left shoulder, the 
one closest to me, was an unusual tattoo. It was that of a 
dagger, and it was black, as if clothed in shadows. I looked 
away and down at the large pool that sat before us. The pool 
reflected the starlight above, with the distant waterfall 
provided us with some peaceful background music. 
	"Two night skies," the girl said. "Two heavens 
perhaps?"
	"If Heaven exists," I answered without looking at her.
	"It does, sometimes," she said, a hint of amusement 
in her voice.
	I turned to face her and smiled. The flames lit her 
face perfectly, making her even more beautiful. "Do you have 
a name, stranger who talks of Heaven?" I asked.
	She paused for a moment before answering, "Shara."
	"Shara," I repeated. "I?m Darien," I said, giving her 
my Innocent name. 
	"It?s nice to meet you, Darien. But I must say, you 
looked troubled. Would you like to tell me what they are? 
Perhaps I could help you," Shara said, giving me a kind smile.
	"They?re matters of the heart, Shara. Unless you?re 
Cupid, I doubt you could help," I told her. "But thank you 
for offering. It?s always nice to know someone cares."
	"I like to make others feel better," she said. She 
looked off into the distance and stared into space for a 
moment, and then turned back to me. "I?m sorry, Darien, but 
I must go. My twin brothers will be waiting for me to go to 
dinner. Hope to see you again." She faded into the night with 
a small wave of her hand and a departing smile. 
	I waved back, and decided it was about time I found 
my companions so that I may eat. With Shara?s mentioning of 
food, my stomach had suddenly decided it was empty and was 
grumbling.
	Departing from the paradise in the midst of the 
resort, I used my link with my generals to locate them 
quickly. They had acquired three suites on the highest floor 
of the hotel building. I should have known that they would 
choose the most expensive rooms. And well, the most 
strategically placed too. That would have been Kunzite?s 
doing. 
	Riding the high speed elevator up to the thirtieth 
floor, I stepped out into a very luxurious foyer. I quickly 
found the door to the nearest suite where my generals were. 
I knocked on the door since it was locked, and I had no 
choice unless I teleported. Kunzite answered the door quickly 
enough. He would have known it was me even before I stepped 
off the elevator.
	I stepped into the rooms and Kunzite closed the door 
behind me. My other three generals were present also. 
Nephrite sat on the lounge reading a book, and Zoisite was 
playing chess by himself on a computer programmed board. 
Jadeite was leaning against a wall out of the way, a dark 
expression on his face, glaring at everything.
	"Tomorrow, we?ll locate our targets again," Kunzite 
said as he walked around me to stand facing me. "If you wish, 
one of us will attack should the chance arrive."
	I said nothing. I only glanced at Jadeite, who?s 
face soured even more so at the mention of attacking his love. 
It was clear to me now what he had picked. Love. But like me, 
duty had to come first. "Very well," I replied. "Do as you 
see fit." 
	Did I feel the same emotions that ran like molten 
metal through Jadeite?s veins? Of course I did. The last 
thing I wanted was to hurt Serenity in any way, either 
directly or indirectly. But she had made clear to me that she 
wanted nothing to do with me, though she loved me, and I her. 
And for me, I had my people to think of; those who were 
killed on the orders of Queen Selenity. They deserved revenge, 
and I had to give that to them. 
	"But please, could we eat?" I said, setting a lighter 
tone.
	Kunzite looked at me and blinked his eyes, not 
understanding. 
	"He?s hungry, Kunzite," Nephrite told Kunzite, 
setting down his book and standing.
	"I see. I believe there?s a dining hall on level two 
of this building. Shall we go there?" Kunzite inquired, his 
tactical mind on as usual.
	"Whatever. The closest place will do. I?ve not eaten 
since breakfast this morning," I said and headed back to the 
door.
	Zoisite turned off his holographic chess game and 
stood up without a word and followed my lead. Jadeite pushed 
himself off the wall, his attitude undesirable, his mood dark. 
What was he thinking and feeling? He loved one from the 
opposing side, just as I did. But surely the feeling could 
not be so strong, not yet. After all, he had only met her 
once, and had not even exchanged words, nor even gestures. 
Did he feel merely cheated out of his rights, his life? 
Perhaps. It was the truth, never the less. And so it was with 
me, by the one who created me.
	We travelled down to the dining hall and were taken 
to a table. No one seemed to want to talk, and we merely sat 
in silence, looking everywhere and at everything, except at 
each other. 
	I let my gaze travel around the restaurant, taking 
in all the other patrons who dinned with us, and the 
restaurant itself. It was a nice little place, with candles 
set on the tables for two who were on dates to provide a 
romantic mood. At other tables, there was a small vase of 
the enchanted flowers I had seen outside earlier in the day, 
their jewel like centers sparkling in the light from both the 
candles and the normal lighting. Oil paintings set on the 
walls around the restaurant provided some colour to the pale 
walls. In short, the establishment was nothing fancy; rather 
it was more casual and the air about it was lighter and more 
friendly. 
	A figure at a table not far from where my generals 
and I sat caught my eye. It took me a moment to place her, 
but her long wavy black hair gave her away as the girl I had 
met at the large rock pool. She showed me only her profile, 
but I could clearly see the tattoo on her left shoulder. 
Shara sat reading the menu, the delicate flower. With her 
was who I guess to be her twin brothers. They were identical, 
with both having longish straight black hair. Their eyes 
though, were different in colour. One had striking green 
eyes, and the other had dark red. The one with the green eyes 
had a distinctive scar over his left eye. The two brothers 
were talking and laughing at something. They seemed to be a 
nice happy family. How Shara reminded me of my adopted sister 
Michelle. I missed her dearly.
	A feeling came to me then, and I took another look 
at the twin with the scar. His face looked so familiar, as if 
I had seen it somewhere before. I had to be mistaken though. 
Besides, most of it was in shadows. I was about to dismiss 
them from my mind when one of my generals spoke up.
	"What attracts your attention like so?" Nephrite 
asked.
	I turned my head to face him. "Nothing much. Just 
that the girl I meet earlier at the pool is sitting over 
there. She reminds me of the sister I had back on Earth."
	Nephrite turned around to look at Shara. He seemed 
to freeze, and then slowly turned back around. "Did she tell 
you her name?" he almost demanded.
	"She told me it was Shara," I replied, not 
understanding what he found so threatening. 
	"I believe she lied about her identity. The tattoo 
on her left shoulder. It?s the insignia the Weapons use. I 
think she is Sword. And the twins with her; Blade and Sabre," 
Nephrite said in a tight voice. For the first time since I 
had known him, he looked very uncomfortable.
	At the mention of those names, Kunzite broke out of 
his silence. Taking a quick look for himself, he confirmed 
Nephrite?s suspicions. "You?re right, Nephrite. They?re the 
Weapons. They match their pictures in the database back on 
the capital of the Dark Earth Kingdom."
	A memory flashed in my mind. Standing in Lestat?s 
classroom, watching the Sailor Scouts practise, seeing the 
leader of the Weapons laugh at them. Green eyes, scar over 
the left eye. That was where I had seen the young man sitting 
at the table near us. 
	Anger leapt out of me. How dare he try to hurt my 
only love! 
	I was about to stand up and storm over there and 
punch his face in, but Kunzite stopped me with a firm hand on 
my shoulder. He gave me a look that said don?t do anything 
rash. 
	"They seem not to know we?re here, or at least, they 
don?t know who we really are," Kunzite said. "Do not give 
away our advantage. And do you really think you can best 
Blade in a one on one fight? His marshal arts training is 
much more advanced than yours, and you would not be able to 
use your powers with all these civilians here."
	He was right of course. I pushed my anger away.
	Anger? I felt anger and hatred to anyone who tried to 
hurt Serenity, yet I myself had done it, as had Jadeite, yet 
I did not hate him. I hated myself, yes, but why did I not 
hate Jadeite? Because I had ordered him to do so, or had 
forced him to take my place? Thus I was the indirect cause 
once again which hurt her? God, how I hated myself!
	"In any case, our mission here does not concern them, 
unless they interfere with ours. I suggest, Endymion, that we 
continue with that we have been sent to do, and only if the 
occasion arises, do we deal with the Weapons," Kunzite?s 
voice said softly without emotion.
	I shook my head slightly to clear away the other 
thoughts. "Yes, it seems the most logical plan. But they seem 
hardly warriors. That young man there seems hardly the foe 
the attacked Serenity and her soldiers all that time ago."
	"Nothing is ever as it seems," Kunzite said.
	The rest of the night was spent in an unspoken and 
uneasy truce. We ordered our food, ate it, and left in 
silence. The Weapons were eating their desert when my 
generals and I left. Once we were back on the top floor, 
Kunzite and Jadeite took the suite on the left, and Nephrite 
and Zoisite took the one on the right, leaving me the one in 
the middle. 
	I sighed. I wanted to tell Kunzite I wasn?t a 
helpless blind puppy. I could protect myself. He didn?t have 
to plan everything, including were we slept, around my safety. 
I entered the suite and immediately went to the showers. Wash 
away my worries, and perhaps whatever Darkness that remained. 
But of course, I thought in poetry. With Darkness, I meant my 
dark emotions.
	Another unfamiliar ceiling. Was there one that I 
truly knew? One that I could call home? The only one I had 
ever known was back on Earth. Even the one I had spent the 
last two years of life in I did not consider as ?home?. Would 
I ever find another? 
	I turned onto my side on the queen sized bed apon 
which I laid, drifting in and out of sleep. Pieces of today 
came back to me. Pluto and all her riddles. Serenity and her 
fears of me. Jadeite and Mars. My own wants and duties to my 
people. And of course, the Weapons.
	"Pluto," I whispered the name. "Soldier of Time and 
Space, holder of the key to all that will be." I gave a 
gentle laugh. What had she accomplished today? She had told 
me to wait for Mars to come. Why? So that she may save 
Serenity? But I could have done the same, and I did, didn?t I? 
And I had cast out the hate Serenity would have felt towards 
me had I not saved her life. So what was the purpose for 
waiting for Mars to arrive? Pluto had said it would be 
important should the true future be created. 
	Could it have been so that Jadeite would fall in love 
with Mars and vice versa? It was the only other option. But 
what would that accomplish? They were in the same situation 
Serenity and I found ourselves in. Without certain factors, 
of course. Well, in time, all would be revealed, one way or
another. Or perhaps not, should I die before then. 
	'And I would never do anything to hurt you beyond 
what I do today, unless circumstances demands that of me, as 
they do of you.' Serenity had said that to me today when we 
lived in our dark isolated world. She referred to our duties 
towards our people. She understood why Jadeite had attacked
her today. Because millions of lives were always worth more 
than one. And if I had been forced to chose between the two, 
as much as I would have wanted to chose Serenity, my duty 
towards my people would have me chose the other. 
	"Life is never fair," I said into the night. 
	And the Weapons. For what reason were they here? I 
doubted very much that they were here on a vacation as 
Serenity and her companions were. Did they mean to attack 
them as well? Yet how could such seemingly happy siblings be 
capable of such a destructive task? 
	"Shara," I muttered. "You who cared so much about me, 
you would be the one to hurt the one I love. How can that be? 
And why? All for greed? Yet you seem so sweet, so kind, so 
much like my sister with her child like innocence and love. 
How can you be Sword? How can you be the sister of Blade who 
attacked my beloved Serenity?"
	I was talking to myself. The first sign of insanity. 
Could you blame me, considering all I?ve been through, all 
the pain I?ve suffered at the hand of Life? Ah, you haven?t 
suffered enough, Endymion. Would you like to be delt another 
blow? Yes? Well, enjoy.
	A memory came back to me then. In a flash of light, 
I was thrown back in time, and I stood, weak to the point of 
almost collapsing, my entire body pained, but my heart and 
soul more so. I looked like an angel who had been dragged 
through the dust. They merely stared at me, my presence 
interrupting their intense game of chess. And then Armand 
and I had been alone, Louis and Lestat having left. And he 
had shown me a vision that had changed me greatly. Of 
Serenity; her real cause for travelling to Earth to find me. 
Had that been a lie?
	I rolled over on my bed, feeling awfully alone. Why 
did everyone lie to me? To the point where I didn?t even know 
what was real or merely an illusion anymore? Why could I not 
have one person with whom I could talk over such matters 
which I could trust? Nick and Dawn were gone. When I would 
see them again, I did not know. God, I was so alone!
	And as for that vision. Did it matter still after so 
long? What did I truly want from it? Simply, the truth. I 
wanted to know, though I doubted the answer either way would 
greatly upset me. Such things just did not matter now. Not 
when I knew she loved me, only that she feared me as well.
	Feared to be hurt by me. 
	I curled up into a little ball and wept softly, my 
tears seeping into my pillow. How I hated myself, how I hated 
the life I lived. Yes, the world was beautiful, but it was so 
unfair. Like an angel without a sense of mercy.
	Why was it that there was always something between 
Serenity and I? Why could we not be happy together? Could we 
ever be together? Even if she was Light and I was Darkness, 
was it possible? And if so, then how much more would I have 
to suffer? But to know that one day I would be with her for 
all of eternity, I would die a thousand deaths and suffer a 
hundred years of hell. In the end, none of that would matter. 
Because I would have her. 
	The night drifted by with my mind riding on a sea of 
such thoughts. Whether I entered the world of dreams or not, 
I could not recall. But then, everyone dreams every night. It 
was merely a fact of whether one could remember them or not.
	When the first sun rose over the horizon, I was 
already awake, though I laid as if dead apon my bed, staring 
blindly into the soul cleansing golden light. I didn?t want 
to move, much less raise myself off this horizontal platform 
of comfort. At least here I did not have to concern myself 
with the world surrounding me. And most of all, with our 
mission today. 
	Back to locating our targets and attacking. Targets. 
How crude a word to describe such a delicate being as 
Serenity. 
	The thought of her made me smile bitterly to myself. 
No, don?t even think of her again. Better to feel the pain of 
the golden fire burn my eyes. Burn away the tears that 
collected there.
	As the second sun rose, I looked away, unable to 
stand the bright light any more. It hurt, that thought. To 
not be able to stand in the presence of light. Because I was 
Darkness.
	I dressed quickly and entered the suite in which 
Kunzite and Jadeite resided. Jadeite was already up, drinking 
coffee of all liquids. A closer look showed that he had not 
slept at all. His eyes were blood shot, his blonde hair wild, 
his civilian cloths crumpled.
	I slipped into a chair opposite him at the table. He 
didn?t look up or ever acknowledge me.
	"You can?t act like this forever," I said softly, 
placing my hands on the smooth wooden surface of the table 
and feeling it?s texture.
	He lifted his head and glared at me. There were bags 
under his jade green eyes. For a moment, it seemed as if I 
stared into the face of a complete stranger. More so, one 
that no longer lived.
	"I feel the same as you, but I at least keep my 
emotions under control. You have a duty, just as I do. And 
you know as I do, that unfortunately, duty comes first," I 
said, ignoring the uneasy feeling that came to me when I 
looked into his face.
	"Don?t speak to me of such things," he spat out. 
Even his lips were dry and cracked.
	"I speak merely the bitter truth," I replied. "Listen, 
rest with me today. Let the other generals handle this matter. 
Spend the day here and think things over. I plan to do so. I 
don?t think I could bare to even see one of my generals set 
another attack on Serenity. Ever if she loves another because 
she fears me," I sighed, glancing around the well furnished 
rooms.
	"Thanks, Endy," Jadeite said, forcing a thin smile.
	"Don?t think on it. As if you?ll be any use to the 
others anyway. You look like you haven?t slept in weeks, let 
alone one night," I said, smiling myself. "Now, how about 
pouring me a cup of that stuff? I need the caffeine. I didn?t 
slept too well last night. Meanwhile, I?ll wake our High 
General and tell him we?re taking the day off."
	"No need," Kunzite?s commanding voice cut in. "I 
heard everything. Don?t concern yourself over it. I?ll take 
Nephrite and Zoisite for the mission today. Jadeite can stay 
and guard you."
	I rolled my eyes. "I am not a baby. I can take care 
of myself."
	Kunzite didn?t reply. He just poured himself a cup 
of tea and sat down with us.
	I took the cup offered to my by Jadeite who seemed a 
little brighter now, and I sculled that down, ignoring the 
fact that it was very hot and scald my throat. I liked the 
pain. Setting the cup down, I announced that I was going down 
to ground level to find some decent food for breakfast. If I 
had to be stuck in this miserable life, I could at least be 
suck in it with a full stomach.
	Jadeite joined me shortly after I had acquired a 
table in a cafe. He told me promptly that the others had 
already left. He didn?t seem too happy about it. I could 
understand why. Like him, I wanted to see my love, but I also 
didn?t want to see her be hurt. Nor to be rejected by her.
	The day became quite warm quickly, and I decided that 
a swim would wash away the heat. And hopefully, the pain too. 
Jadeite stayed on the small beach, sitting in the lounge 
chairs I had sat in the night before, saying that he didn?t 
feel like getting wet.
	I dived straight in, relishing in the feeling of the 
cool waters against my warm skin. The feeling was so pleasant 
and welcomed that all other thoughts fled my mind. I just 
enjoyed life for a while, floating on my back and diving 
under the water. Most of all, feeling the water pour over my 
head and shoulders as I stood under the small water fall.
	Closing my eyes, I lifted my face to the cascading 
water fall, opening my mouth as if to drink up the clear 
liquid that poured onto me.
	"Blood tastes much richer than water," Armand?s voice 
whispered into my ear.
	I started, swallowing a mouthful of salt water. I 
almost choked.
	Armand merely laughed. A sweet innocent laugh that 
reached my ears even though I was desperately trying to 
breath. His cool arm snaked around my waste and pulled me 
out from under the waterfall and held me steady as I pulled 
air into my lunges. 
	"Now, my dear Prince Endymion, care to explain to me 
why you and Jadeite are here rather than with the others? You 
do remember that you are here for a reason other than 
relaxation," Armand scolded me slightly, but his tone was 
light.
	"You know as well as I do why I am here instead of 
hunting for Serenity," I said once I had spat out what salt 
water remained in my mouth. 
	"Oh yes, I know of all that. I took the liberty of 
reading your mind when I arrived," he said almost cheerfully. 
He released me from his embrace and smiled at me. "Yesterday 
you were in a very bad way. Yet today, you immerse yourself 
in such luxury. It seems to me you?re trying to forget you 
have a life," Armand stated.
	'And why shouldn?t I? I am sick and tired of 
thinking. I believe I at least have the right to block it 
all out once in a while," I said, running a hand through my 
hair to remove it from my eyes.
	"You never though this way until yesterday. Was 
finding out Serenity feared you so terrible?" Armand asked. 
He suddenly looked at his bare arms and made a face. "I am 
too pale. I should have fed before I came," he muttered to 
himself in disgust.
	I ignored his comment. "Yes!" I exclaimed. "Yes, it 
was terrible to find out she feared me. Feared me! That cut 
me very deep. If she said she hated me, I would not feel as 
bad. But fear? And she said she loved me," I trailed off. 
"And Jadeite is not much better than me."
	"Yes, I know of that too. A most unusual development. 
But very amusing," he said with a smile playing on his richly 
coloured lips. Such a contrast from his white cold skin.
	"I do not find it amusing. I find it sad. And I am 
much depressed from it. Is it true?" I asked suddenly. "Is it 
true that I can never be with Serenity?"
	'No. Anything is possible. You can always have hope. 
But listen, Endymion," Armand said softly, touching my 
shoulder light with his hand. "Do not forget your duty. You 
may hate it, but as you well know, it comes first."
	"The truth always hurts," I whispered. 
	Armand gave me a sympathetic smile and placed his 
arms around my neck. 
	An uneasy feeling suddenly came to me. Something was 
wrong. But what? 
	The angel pressed his lips against my neck.
	Still I listened to this whisper of a feeling. I 
shouldn?t be here. I should be somewhere else. 
	I looked up suddenly to see Shara sitting at the top 
of the water fall looking down at us with her large blue eyes. 
The gold and silver fleck in her eyes sparkled as the sun 
light played on them. We stared at each other for some time 
as if in a trance for some time until an ugly thought suddenly 
struck me with such force that I almost had to gasp for the 
life giving air that surrounded us. 
	"Shara, where are your brothers?" I demanded.
	"They had some business to take care off," she 
replied softly and disappeared from view as she back away 
from the edge of the waterfall.
	My eyes widened in realisation and then in anger.
	"You devil!" I roared and pushed Armand off me. 
	Many eyes turned to us as I raised my voice, but I 
cared nought. 
	Armand regained his balance in the clear sparkling 
water and glared at me. "You dare call me such a name?" he 
demanded in such a cold and menacing voice I almost backed 
down.
	"Yes, you fucking bastard!" I shouted. "You came here 
to keep me away from her now, didn?t you?" I accused. 
"Because you knew that the Weapons would attack! And you were 
willing to sacrifice my generals just so you could see her 
killed!"
	"Do not forget your duty, Endymion. Better to have 
her killed by another than to kill her with you own hands," 
Armand said coldly.
	"Damn my duty and you to Hell!" I yelled and pulled 
myself out of the water. "And I would rather die before I let 
any harm come to her, least of all by my hands."
	Jadeite was already by my side as I stood up and 
wrapped a towel around my waist. 
	"What do you propose to do now?" he asked.
	"We find them and help our loves," I said, glaring 
at Armand. "I only pray that we are not too late."
