It is and I am. There seems to be one final difference between my reality and yours, however given Milo's reaction to the news, I'm not sure it would be wise to tell you...

Tell me. I've been through a lot since the time you're from Mu, I'm sure I can handle it.

There were no casualties at Sanctuary. Saga, Deathmask, Camus, Shura and Aphrodite still draw breath.

[Is stunned]

No casualties...th.that means I didn't kill Aphrodite? And Hyoga doesn't have Camus's death on this conscious? [Blinks back a couple of tears] There's really a reality like that?

There is, and I inhabit it.

[Sniffs and rubs tears out of his eyes]

I'm...I'm glad that things turned out that way in your reality. I can't change things in my reality, so I'll be glad that there's one like yours.

[Gold Saint does not give comfort to pesky Bronze Saints :|]

It seems, however, that the realities tied here can merge, somehow...

Really? I hope that happens... Kiki would want to see you again.

....Kiki has yet to leave my--Oh. Yes.

[Oh great. Now Mu's sad. GOOD JOB, YOU FAIRY >|] How is he?

[Shun is feeling guilty now because he didn't mean to upset Mu...]

Uh...he's training really hard to earn the Aries Cloth. He hangs out around Shiryu alot so I see him whenever Shiryu comes back from China. He's....dealing with what happened.

[Here's a small, but still very sad smile]

It's a little bit ironic, really...I was his age when Master passed away, and I ran to almost the same place afterwards...

Shion would have died when you were little wouldn't he? Saori-san told Kiki he could stay with the rest of us but he wanted to stay with Shiryu.

I was seven.

I'm sure he will be fine with Shiryu. I raised him to be resourceful...

And how are you coping?

[Tries hard not to think about Hades]

Oh, I'm doing fine, you don't need to worry about me. Hyoga and Shiryu both lost someone very important, and Seiya...Seiya was stabbed by Hades sword. He survived but he still hasn't woken up.

So I take it the holy war was a victory in our favour? That sets me at ease. Who wears the Pope's mantle?

Right now Marin is leading Sanctuary. She's the most experienced Saint left. I'm not sure what Saori-san plans to do long term though.

...No Gold saints survived? I do believe this is a first.

......

All you Gold Saints died together. We needed to get Saori-san her Cloth and all of you sacrificed yourselves so we could to that.

I see. It was a good death then.

[Trying in vain to think of something good about what's happened]

Umm...Sanctuary's rebuilding is going well and we managed to kill Hades's real body. That means it should take longer for him to come back...

You...I must say, I'm quite impressed.

...May I see your cloth? In my time, I'm still working on reforging yours. Perhaps I could learn something from this one.

Ah, sure. [Wills the Andromeda God Cloth off] Hypnos said God Cloths are on almost the save levels as the Kamui of the Gods.

[Takes the cloth and studies it gingerly]If he speaks the truth, then you are, quite possibly, more powerful than I.

I never really thought of it like that. When the Cloth formed on me I did feel stronger. Even though I've been practicing with it each day I'm still not sure how much it increases my strength. Seiya is still stronger than me though. He actually managed to scratch Hades!

Cloths can do whatever you wish of them, provided you have the willpower to pull it off. I'm sure this, with effort, could make you like a god yourself.

Seiya is powerful because he doesn't know any better, really.
