That rainy night in the hut, neither Saori nor Alice returned from the Temple after such bad news, nor would they return in the next few days. It was left to Seiya and his friends to unpack and eat with their heads down; Seiya knew that that couldn't be a good sign and that the search for his sister would have to be put aside once more.
"I'm sorry, Seiya." Shun said, sitting next to him.
"It's all right." he lied.
"It's not. I know how much you wanted to go after your sister in Athens."
"I will go, Shun. Alone, if needed." said Seiya. "The Sanctuary will have a few months of peace, Shaina told us. I will be back before you all return."
Shun smiled back at him.
"Did you take the fur coat?"
"Yea."
"You're going to be terribly cold in Siberia."
"Hyoga told me."
"Is he all right?"
"I think we're all still kind of weird." Shun commented. "And he still had to fight his Master."
"Again." added Seiya.
The two looked at Hyoga, who was digging through his backpack in the corner, before going back to eating his simple plate.
"It's like we've come back from the dead." Said Seiya.
"Yeah, but I think we'll get used to it. Shiryu knows how it is."
Seiya returned him a yellow smile, as if resigned. And then his eyes searched the window for the top of the mountain ahead.
"Do you think Saori is grounded?" he asked curiously, and Shun actually laughed.
"The Goddess Athena grounded?"
"Master Mayura is tough and Saori keeps insisting on not going to her Temple. And she still wanted to go to Athens with me. She's kind of nuts."
"She must still feel very guilty about the children."
"She said she gets reports every week with the whereabouts of those who got lost out there. It must not be easy for her."
"It's not easy being Saori."
"It must be even harder being Athena." said Seiya.
That night, Seiya slept thinking about Seika, but also thinking about Saori, who seemed to have been locked up in her Temple, as she had never spent a night far from that hut they lived in.

Two days later, the entourage arrived at Cape Súnion. Along with Athena went Alice, who was always by her side, as well as the wise Nicol and the companions Shaina and Geist. Prudent, they were all wearing their Sacred Cloth, as they didn't know exactly what existed in that Temple that a Gold Saint like Saga was needed to be responsible for the lookout of the Seal of the Seas.
