saint seiya (d3) gemini saga

(no subject)

[ Someone has been doing a lot of research. If you are passing by the Library you might find Saga concentrated with various books spread all over the table. Books related to magic and its history: celtic mythology, druids, wicca, witchcraft and sorcery. Right now, he finds himself reading of how to learn Old English... or trying to, despite having a Latin book and papers filled with scribbles aside.

He places the open book in front of him and lets out a heavy sigh, tired and hopeless. This is by far the most he had done for what he is accustomed to study. Leaning against the back of the chair, he closes his eyes in frustration. ]

This is useless... I need more.

[ Saint in distress. ]

[ That's a lot of books, Saga. Kiki can't tell if he's trying to learn spells, language, or just indulging in mythology and folktales.

In his hand is nothing too special -- a cookbook of sorts. ]

More like you need less.

Quite a range of topics.

[ Another sigh. ]

Even so, it is not enough.

For Morgana, I assume?

[ Let‘s say... everything. Saga turns to Kiki and his mood changes a little. ]

A month devoting myself to this. I believe it will take me more than one.

[ And that's where the problem is: lack of organization and planning.

Don't mind him taking the seat across Saga, resting his elbows on the table. ]

And your objective is...?

[ Nods. ] I promised to help her as best as I could. And so because I wanted to share and discuss this information with you.

I've looked into it myself. What do you wish to discuss?

[ Kind of just covered most of it. Also, no mind. ]

Helping a friend with her powers.

[ Headtilt, sparing the books a glance. ]

And I guess this isn't a friend from home, or else you wouldn't need these books.

How do you plan on going about that?

I‘ve covered the mythological traits and the origins of magic, mostly.

What I‘ve seen is that magic can be inherited through genetics and developed during childhood or it can be learned, though it requires the spiritual energy from nature, based on the four elements, and supernatural beings.

There are different types of magic, but I dedicated quite amount of my time reading about the Sidhe, the Old Religion, Druids and Dragonlords.

[ Yep! He did his homework. ]

I believe Morgana belongs to the Old Religion or the Sidhe. The former is mostly apparent in human beings.

Exactly.

[ Considers for a moment. ]

I‘m not qualified to teach her nor I think I would, but since there is no one who can help her with her... magic back home, at least I want to try and be useful.

I made a promise to her.

[ Promises are nice and all but ~~words are wind~~ ~~THIS IS NOT GAME OF THRONES~~ -- ]

Does she know you want to help her?

[ Without being asked, Kiki takes to stacking the books with his psychokinesis in neat piles, set according to topic: language, folklore, then those that call themselves "spell books". ]

[ ~~asdfghjkl NO IT ISN‘T BUT --~~ ] ... Sort of. It is... complicated.

Mu is the only one who can teach her how to have full control of it.

[ He watches and slightly tilts his head to Kiki. ] Thank you.

Mm. [ Just going about his work and he's eventually finished. ] You don't have to tell me all about it if you don't want to. But I ask because at least you'll know where to focus on? It's not like she's a beginner, right?

[ Curious that -- ] Why can Master teach her and not you? Can't you guys work together?

[ Because Saga's a Saintly prodigy, isn't he? Kiki thinks there are many things he should be able to do, right? ]

What I‘m trying to say is that things... happened between us.

We are, of course. Though she asked him to, as did I. If she so desires, I will teach her as well.

[ Whoa whoa TMI TMI stop stop stop-- Kiki's brow dots raise and he holds up a hand. ] Things. Right! Things that made things complicated, I get that.

[ -- he's probably getting the wrong idea :8D;; ]

[ Kiki prefers to focus on the common ground they can work on. ] You can't teach if you don't know what your student needs to learn. Otherwise you're just wasting time.

I would hope so. Otherwise, she'd be a fairy.

[Mu shuffles through the books, looking for the ones related to religions] I do hope this work lines up with what is true in her world. For all it's apparent similarities, it is different from ours.

It is the closest to what pertains to her.

[ Saga watches him for a moment before taking a hold of his arm and stopping him in his motions. ]

[ He is! Because Saga is now looking at him with a slight confusion that becomes present as soon as it‘s gone... Anyway!

The Saint shuts his eyes in all seriousness. ]

That is why I am here. I wouldn‘t mind some advice, though.

[Mu manages to resist yanking his arm back, but does fix Saga with a glare that could strip paint. A moment passes and Mu tugs his limb free as gently as he can manage. He says nothing, but continues to stare.]

[ If Kiki had a rolled-up newspaper or magazine, he'd thwap Saga on top of the his head. ]

Have you asked her on what she needs or wants to learn?

[ The Gemini glares back but his is determined. As his grip loosens and lets go completely he stands from his chair and makes his way to the shelves, gesturing Mu to follow him. ]

[ How rude 8| ] [ Presses his lips. ]

She wishes to have full control of her magic, first and foremost.

[ those are just *paper*. Shiryu got *boulders*. ]

Where do they draw their power from? We have Cosmo, and her world would have...?
