Sapphire no longer grasped for Arion's fading memory. She had chosen the path towards the Great Eastern Sun. It would challenge her every step into the unknown. But in facing her fears she went beyond them.
It was Arion's presence she deeply recognized inside of her. It multiplied her sufferings. She allowed herself to feel it's sadness. Doubt was now completely banished from her mind. Sapphire became gentle towards her new awareness and this expanded her field of vision. She could see the Great Eastern Sun in all it's glory. She moved towards it with fearlessness and detachment from the setting sun world.
Arion traveled towards the Great Eastern Sun, but on a different path. Sapphire had promised Arion that her heart would always remain open. Her sadness she embraced; expanding her heart she birthed the wounded warrior.
