[01] First Temple

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

...I want to thank the person who came up with an easy way to learn about this place. That was very helpful.

I wanted to ask if anyone had seen anyone calling themselves a Saint of Athena. Or if you are one, please answer this message.

It isn’t just those of my world I wish to speak to. Anyone who can tell me anything further I’d like to talk. Some of the information on the message is very troubling. Particularly, the mention of experiments. I want to know more about them and if you know any reason why they’re happening. Besides that we seem selected for a ‘machine’.

My name is, [There’s a pause as Sasha has to think about what name she should be using. It doesn’t last long.] Athena. Thank you for your time.

[In a corner of his ached heart, Saga feels he doesn't deserve that gaze to look upon him. So he avoids it at all costs in a respectful manner.]

Yes. We are from the twentieth century.

Of the same generation that ends Hade's war against the Earth. [She says as she watches him.] Are you alright?

[sosweet]

That's right, my lady. We could finally get rid of Hades' menace.

[That question takes him off guard and gives him a beat... but hides it very well.]

I am, my lady. If I may... why do you ask? [It would be rude on his part not to answer to her properly... despite he wanted to avoid the asking.]

It's good to see that cycle of pain ended.

[She straightens a little then her shoulders fall and she's more Sasha than Athena.]

Because you remind me of my time's Sagittarius and the pain in his heart. I missed it for many years. [When she should have seen it.] I promised not to overlook such aches again.

[sosweet]

[At the mention of 'Sagittarius', Saga remains silent. It's kind of ironic when he relates with the previous Saint of the Ninth Temple in that matter.

Even more... how Athena could see through him. As she always did.

He ducks his head a little so his bangs could cover his eyes in a way to hide how he was feeling.] Athena... I... [He couldn't tell her anything. Not to this Athena.]

You don't need to tell me anything. [Her voice is soft and gentle. With Sisyphus, she'd had to reach him or he'd be lost. With Saga, she can feel the difference. This guilt is something she can't help with.]

I will always support all of you, no matter what troubles you bear.

[sosweet]

[He is relieved and grateful about it. And he knew his beloved Goddess would understand his silence. A tiiiny sigh leaving his mouth it was almost imperceptible.] Thank you.

[He stands and looks at her attentively.] If there is something else you need, please ask, my lady.

[She's accepted the silences of many saints when they needed it. Sasha nods once and knows what she means to say.]

I only ask that you keep watch for other saints to appear. And for my brother, Alone. While this place has it's threats, I know we'll all be cautious of them. The others won't know what they'll be facing until we warn them.

[sosweet]

[He mildly frowns and blinks at her. 'A brother...?' Not as if Athena 'the Goddess' had no brothers and sisters. But Athena 'the human'... is out of the ordinary. It was a sizeable difference from the Saints who had siblings. Though, he doesn't comment a thing about it... yet.]

[Nods.] I will, my lady. [And considers.] If I may say, it's been a troublesome time lately. So... I cannot help but worry about your own safety.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

It has been a troubling time but, I'll be alright. [She draws the statue of her cloth out, and even without it covering her body, it's power thrums in her hand like she's holding the sun.]

[sosweet]

[His gaze soflty widens at the sight of her Cloth.] ... You will need it in this place.

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

I had hoped I wouldn't but, I know I will.

[sosweet]

[There's a small relief at that. Though... something is bothering him.] ... Is the Holy War on going in your time?

[humandivinity.livejournal.com]

No. It ended just before I woke up on the Plane.
