saint seiya (d1) aries shion

(no subject)

[Shion is on the Plane, seated on a tall golden throne. He has his helmet off and is holding it in his hands, examining it. He gives a resigned sigh.]

Now I suppose I will have to make the decision soon.

[Lurking kid is lurking]

[Without looking up] Is there something the matter, Mu?

The baby I heard crying...was it...

Yes, that was Lady Athena.

[HAPPY FACE. MU MAKES IT]

[Awww, Shion has to smile at that] Would you like to meet her?

Maybe when she's not crying.

[Awhile of silence passes before Mu speaks again] Master, who are you going to choose?

[Shion considers this before he speaks again] It has not been easy to choose, but I believe I will be naming Aiolos my successor.

I think he'll be a good Holy Father.

I am sure he will. Either of them would have been a good choice...[He falls silent]

Master?

...Mu, what do you think of Saga?

I think Saga is a very noble Saint! He's extremely kind and patient, as well.

He certainly has proven to be someone that others can look up to so far..

But something is making you uneasy?

[Speaks slowly, picking his words carefully] Has there ever been a moments when you have sensed something strange from Saga? Or have you seen him do something that seem odd?

[....Slow headshake] Not really, but sometimes he seems very distant.

[Eyeing the throne] I'd love to own one of those... Where did you get it?

[Glances up] It has been a part of Sanctuary for thousands of years, I do not know where it came from.

Oh. Wouldn't you sell it to me? It would look awesome on my stage!

Certainly not! This is not something that can be sold!

Pfff- Lame.

Hardly. It's material value is far outstripped by what it represents. It's priceless.

It's shiny. [Intelligence is on vacation today]

[Shion can see that. Which is why he is just going to give Romeo a flat look and not say a word]

["Watching" him for a bit.] Big stuff happening?

Yes. Our goddess has been born.

Goddess?

Saints serve the goddess Athena. She is reborn into a mortal body every few hundred years.

Sounds a little like the Avatar.

But it's a good thing that she's been born, right?

I have heard you mention this 'Avatar' before, but do not remember if you ever explained it to me.

[He's silent for a moment] The answer to that is both yes...and no.

He's the only one in my world who can control all four elements. And he's continually reincarnated and other supernatural stuff like that.

Yeah? You wanna elaborate?

That does sound very similar to what Athena does.

That Athena had been born means Hades has already chosen his vessel for this cycle. When he comes of age, another Holy War will start.

Hades...another god, I take it?

Yes, the god who rules the Underworld.

Sounds like a bad guy.

He is. He is Athena's eternal enemy. During the last Holy War he claimed to want to save everyone...by leading them into the eternal peace that is death.

Yup, a regular jerk. Sounds as bad as the Fire Lord.

Can't do anything without decisions.

That is a very true statement.

The most obvious one.
