004 - Insides
- And that’s how it’s done, now you go!
Isaak and Hyoga looked at each other, then down at their task, and up to their master.
- You don’t mean….
- Yes I do, and when I come back I want it finished.
The Aquarius Saint left the house and headed to town, confident that his two disciples would be able to tackle such an easy task. But when he came, he found them as he had left them, frozen in front of the table.
- What’s going on? Didn’t I tell you to get this done? I thought you had more guts.
Sighing, he sent the two kids off to train and settled down to clean the fish. He understood they were only children, but if they were to become Saints one day, they’d have to get over their aversion to insides.
Nodding to himself, he started planning tonight’s dinner. Fried fish for himself, and for those two little brats, boiled innards.
005 - Outsides
Shura looked around, and the sight depressed him even more than usual.
The dried, sun-scorched rocks were as dead as ever, and the few dwarf trees that survived in the area had been attacked by some disease that made their leaves turn brown. But what got to him was the line, the invisible division where death waited.
He rubbed his eyes, wishing he would never had to take his hands off them.
But Medusa appeared from behind a rock and confirmed everything was taken care of. And the word of a silver saint would probably not be enough for the Kyoko, so he forced himself to go over the frontier. There they were, right outside the boundaries of Sanctuary, four additional statues to make the place even more terrifying.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go and make this into a go for the 30themes, I'm behind as it is!
