[ Oh yes...

If you happen to be by coincidence on the Plane you may notice Saga standing in the middle, head down and fists shaking. But the most characteristic detail is the robes he's wearing, both the helmet and the mask on the Plane floor as if they had been thrown away abruptly. ]

I don't want this...

[ He finally ducks on his knees, his long bangs hiding his eyes and not letting himself to shed any single tear. Hands clutching the fabric of his lap, almost containing his own breath. ]

Just stop... please... I can't... Why are you doing this?!

[ He is begging. Saga never begs. ]




[ ooc: Evil!Saga never existed, so his life takes a 360 degree spin (better said, like an AU). Bother him and find out! ]

[Mu's blood is running cold. This can't be happening again. It can't it can't it can't it can't it can't it can't it can't...]

Saga, what...

[What have you done?]

[sosweet]

[Saga slightly jolts at the voice but doesn't face him.] This... [Voice shaking.] I shouldn't have done this... ['I shouldn't have wished for this to happen...']

[lamb_of_gold]

[Some of the fear abates, slowly being replaced by anger that is quickly turning white-hot.]


What did you do?!

[sosweet]

[Faces Mu. Distress in his eyes, his voice unwavering.] I didn't kill him. I never did.

[lamb_of_gold]

You...

[What?]

What?

[sosweet]

[Looks down, taking his time to explain.] ... He chose me as the Holy Father the right way. Lady Athena never abandoned Sanctuary and Aioros was alive the whole time.

... I found this out after waking up at the chambers. The looks on their faces... everybody thought I was acting strange for not remembering.

[lamb_of_gold]

...An experiment? I don't think you're the only one having their reality altered.

[Excuse the Cosmo; it's taking Mu a bit to cool off after that.]

[sosweet]

[Sighs. Despite his reality sounds good enough, he doesn't want it. He doesn't want anything.]

It must be...

[Ouch, Ouch! With that, he thinks it is not a good idea to tell him about what really happened to Shion.]

Did you make a wish for this situation to happen too?

[lamb_of_gold]

I don't place faith in wishes.

[sosweet]

[Looks away. Now he feels more miserable than ever.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Is that what cause this? A wish?

[sosweet]

It makes sense.

[He sits and adjusts.] I was looking at the stars after my patrol. There was a shooting star... it's been a long time since I witnessed one. [pauses] I asked for a wish unconsciously...

I never thought... [Keeps quiet.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Falling stars, hm? I always thought of them as an ill omen.

[sosweet]

[Well, he always thought they were soothing.] Even if they are, I still find them beatiful. [He's a stars fan.]

[lamb_of_gold]

I will not deny that...but they too much resemble the Cosmo of a dying saint.

[sosweet]

They do. [Oh Goddess Athena...] Even if this is temporary, I... ['I shouldn't have been so selfish...']

[lamb_of_gold]

And if it isn't?

[sosweet]

[Siiiilence.] Should it matter? It is done. [Do not go there...]

[lamb_of_gold]

Tch.

[A beat. Mu takes a deep breath.]

His holiness is dead, then? ['His Holiness' is far easier to say.]

[sosweet]

[Saga is silent for a looong moment. Guess the answer is pretty obvious. Though, even if he didn't do it, Mu had te right to know.

But changing the past wasn't the only cause of his pain...]

Kanon... did it.

[lamb_of_gold]

I see.

[He's silent for a long while then, but eventually:]

Perhaps I should wish that Shion finds a peaceful end to his life. [He only sounds a little bit bitter.]

[sosweet]

I wished the same for him too.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[And just when Shion was getting used to his own robes! Only his are white, and yes he is wearing them as he approaches Saga. He stops a good distance away, slightly defensive] Just what are you doing?

[sosweet]

[Saga gasps and doesn't look at Shion but does notice the white, lower robes.] I... made a mistake.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[That does nothing to reassure Shion. He's well aware of what Saga is suppose to have done and seeing him in robes is not at all comforting] What sort of mistake? Why are you dressed like that?

[sosweet]

[He kneels properly with his gaze down. How to tell him this?] I yearned for something... and now I was chosen the Holy Father... by you.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Shion shifts uncomfortably at that gesture, although he doesn't say anything about it. He knows that he's suppose to be getting used to it, but having people kneel in front of him is still to weird. At least that isn't that important part right now.] ..I did? But I have done no such thing...[He stops as he realizes something] The 'I' in your world I take it then. But how is that even possible?

[sosweet]

[Finally looks at him.] I made a wish, so my evil self never existed... and it changed my reality.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[He's slightly taken back at that] A..wish?

[It seems too simple, too easy for a change such as this. But then again, this was the Plane. It was certainly within possibility for something like that to happen] So...I am still alive in your reality? [That sounds odd even to him as he says it out loud]

[sosweet]

[Looks down again. He just can't make eye contact with that answer.] ... No. ['Would it matter to you who did it?...']

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[That's not exactly comforting] So no matter what happens I am destined to die? [But he just sighs after that] I suppose it's the destiny of all Saints, in the end.

Bawww Shion! TAT

[sosweet]

[Not at all.] [He could have prevented it, but Kanon is as smart as him. And listening to Shion's answer... makes him feel like being the Holy Father meant nothing.] ... I'm sorry... Shion.

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Pity is nothing something he wants to deal with] Since it apparently wasn't your fault this time, you have nothing to apologize for and we have other things to worry on. [Although privately he wonders how he had let himself grow so lack in his old age] Do you think this change is likely to be a permanent one?

[sosweet]

[Sorry Shion. He has an issue with you being dead in all realities. He shakes his head.] Even so... I should have protected you from my own br-- ['... Damn.'] [Shuts his mouth. What was the point about it, anyways? He'd rather just answer his question.] I don't know. Since it doesn't look like a merger, I believe, then so it must be an experiment.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun knows what those robes mean, and he also knows that means something is very, very off here] Saga? Why are you dressed like that?

[sosweet]

[Listening to Shun's voice was even worse. Because changing his reality meant... the Bronze Saints never existed. So it makes him feel more guilty. 'Would they have been happy without becoming Saints?... Or...'

Small, faint tears shaping on his eyelashes.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun's far to sensitive to not pick up on Saga's distress. It also assures part of him that Saga probably isn't evil right now, so he moves closer] Saga?

[sosweet]

[Doesn't turn to look at him.] Hello Shun. [A greeting is fine in this situation at least. He needed to keep composure the best he could.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[He takes that as encouragement and moves closer] Did something happen? You're dressed like...that.

[sosweet]

[Sighs.] An incident caused by my own selfishness.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[You're only making him more curious] What did you do?

[sosweet]

[Feels ashamed by the sole mention of it.] I changed my reality... because of a wish I made without being aware of the consequences.
