It was not too long after Ebony fell asleep on My Father’s shoulder, so I left the room. As I walked down the hallway, I could hear a very distant sound towards one of the rooms at the end. As I continued to walk I came to a room, the door cracked and the light dim. I heard coughing, violent coughing. I rushed into the room to find Gemini, laying on the floor on his back, Akko crouched beside him. Akko turned his head quickly towards me then back to Gemini. Gemini’s face was pale, his mouth and shirt covered in blood. Akko’s hands were also covered in blood, but he was holding a small, open, wooden box. I walked over to them and Gemini grabbed Akko’s hand and his eyes went dark. “Make... him leave…” He said, his voice weak. Akko looked at me then back down, then he spoke. “Argus, please, just go…” Akko said. I looked at him, and Gemini started to get up, but he was stopped by Akko. “Argus… Go… this doesn't concern you…” Gemini said, pulling himself away from Akko. “Though I believe it does concern me…” I said, and Gemini forced himself to stand up. Then his sword appeared in his hand, glowing green flames coming from it. “Go Argus,” Gemini says, his sword at his side. I disappear, leaving both Gemini and Akko.
