[Into The Abyss � Scene I] � Eternity awaits.
Flying, higher and higher. When the speed doesn�t cease to increase, you end up losing track of reality. Everything appears to you in shades of lavender blue, like the sky when the sun is about to rise. Truth be said, those poetical shades of blue could perfectly be caused by a mere optical illusion related to the electromagnetic spectrum, light, color and such. Or it might just be your eyes, playing games with your mind as the wind blinds you. The higher you get the cleaner the air is, but the rarer it is as well. But nobody has ever came back to say exactly how it works.

Rhadamanthys� long train of thought was interrupted by a soft choking sound behind him. The burning had started, an unavoidable side-effect of traveling up through the atmosphere at such high speed.Underworld or normal world, it didn't matter; many of the laws of physics still remained the same.
As the air grew scarce, the specter�s mind wandered off more easily, and it demanded him an extra effort of concentration to stop musing about the similarities between the blue of the air that surrounded them and the blue of Kanon�s hair. The gold saint�s grip on his shoulders was growing weaker by the minute, but he still clung to his enemy with a desperation that the specter couldn�t understand.
It wasn�t the will to do anything it could take to annihilate your enemy what Rhadamanthys couldn�t understand. It was the fact that a man like Kanon would commit such an unnecessary sacrifice. It clashed with absolutely everything he thought he knew about him. And for someone like Rhadamanthys, so used to believe that he grasped every shard of a person�s soul before judging it, being unable to understand Kanon�s motivations and behavior wasn�t merely puzzling.
It was downright unacceptable.

Another choked whimper and Rhadamanthys could feel the gold saint bury his face against the base from which the wings of the Wyvern surplice emerged. Kanon�s effort to bring himself even closer to his enemy�s and get a better grasp on him only underlined how much his body was suffering from the friction of the searing atmosphere as they got higher into the sky, and the speed increased even further.
Completly vulnerable now that he had returned the Gemini Cloth to his brother, Kanon had no choice but hope he�d last long enough to ensure that his enemy would be too far to survive the flight and return to battle.

It might have been the extremely ironic image of a warrior trying to bring death to his enemy nested against his back as if they were lovers, or the utter frailness that the pain and the approach of the end were causing Kanon to display against his will. Whatever it was, something about that whole scene sent a pang into Rhadamanthys� chest. Yet another thing he couldn�t understand: If Kanon was his enemy, a puzzling yet very real and powerful enemy, how could he appear so fascinating in his eyes now? Alluring in his sudden vulnerability, rather than just awe inspiring because of his strength. Not that Rhadamanthys could see Kanon at the present moment, but as fast as their ascent was, it felt more and more psychedelic and slow as the lack of air started to affect their very thoughts. Images from the previous battles flashed in front of the specter's eyes, reminding him of his initial disgust and hostility for the gold saint, that had quickly changed into the respect that a warrior like him deserved.

Once again, the judge was harboring feelings and thoughts he couldn�t understand, and that made him all the more wary and angry. An anger that intermingled with the dazzle and the mystery in Kanon that enticed him. The gold saint suddenly appeared in Rhadamanthys' mind as something so beautiful and precious that no tears would be enough to weep for him, if he were to disappear now.

All of those feelings swirled together and prompted the specter to stumble into yet another unexpected conclusion. Unrelated to anything that happened between them, unrelated to any of their loyalties, to either of the sides of the battle, or even to the outcome of the war, Rhadamanthys had a thought -- a personal one for once-- that clung to his mind like nothing ever had before. The understanding that if he were to let Kanon die now, he would never be able to forgive himself, afterlife or not. It wasn�t right for a man like him to die there and that way. The specter had believed it from the very moment Kanon launched his attack, but only now he realized that it fell to him to prevent such death.
And only if he suceeded in preventing that death, could he hope to maybe one day understand why a man who could have killed him chose instead to die to take his life.

Reaching backwards to feel the contact of his enemy one last time, the judge ran the very tips of his fingers up the gold saint's hips and whispered words that were a surprise even to himself as they left his lips.
�I wish we could have met in a time or a world with no wars, and where I would have been able to touch your body without trying to hurt you.�
He didn�t know if the gold saint ever heard him, with all the turbulence and the wind that made him barely able to hear himself, but it didn't matter, as he had spoken more to himself. He clearly felt through the cosmo that Kanon�s consciousness was mostly gone, and slipping away fast. His grip was now almost loose. The wounds from earlier as well as the unprotected soar into the sky had brutally taken their toll on him.
It was now or never, Rhadamanthys realized, and taking a swift decision, he ordered his surplice to leave his body and reform around his enemy�s. The burning hot air tearing at his skin was an unpleasant surprise that his armor had shielded him from, until now.

The younger of the Gemini twins had an expression of pained rest on his face, as if he was lightly asleep and about to wake up any time from a nightmare.
It somehow gave him the looks of an abused child.

�May it not be too late!� � And with that last desperate thought, Rhadamanthys kicked his former enemy back towards the ground, and disappeared into the night like a falling star searing through the atmosphere.
