Pandora strolled across a town in the northern part of Italy. It was the same town, where the current vessel of Hades lived, Alone. Pandora changed her appearance to that of a young girls, different from her older appearance. It wouldn't be to good for an older woman to be seen with younger children.
The reason for Pandora's visit to this town was because of her 'task'. Looking after the vessel of Hades. Honestly, Pandora felt that she was a glorified babysitter for the God. It had only been a few days since Talia found herself in Pandora's body and it was pathetically easy to play the mad dog.
The Hades vessel should be in the town somewhere, now all Pandora had to do was find him. Pandora hummed a 'A Little Wicked by Valerie Broussard' under her breath as she walked to find her young charge. Pandora found herself in the market area of the town. 'Why not,' Pandora thought, boredly looking at the market stalls.
Pandora browsed through the various stalls in the market, looking at the many different items imported from all over Italy. She stopped, letting a couple of laughing children run passed her. Paying the running children no mind, Pandora continued walking.
One of the merchants was selling a beautiful, black snack bracelet, that had caught Pandora's eye. The merchant watched Pandora with anticipation. 'She looks like a nobles daughter,' thought the merchant. Perhaps he would make a sale today.
"That bracelet,'' Pandora pointed to the snake bracelet. "How much is it?"
Seeing that Pandora was young and so she should be easily swayed. "The bracelet is four gold coins, but for you young lady I will give the bracelet for three gold coins."
"I'll give you 1 gold and 5 silver for the bracelet," Pandora told as she pulled out a money bag, she brought money just in case she needed it. Pandora continued to haggle down the bracelets price to two gold coins.
"Deal," tiredly said the merchant. He didn't want to be doing this all day. After all, he had other customers to get to. Despite not making a huge profit like he had planned he got some in the end.
Pandora smirked victorious as she gave him the coins. She walked away with a smile on her face, admiring the bracelet that shun in the sun. She was about to leave but someone fell into her, causing the both of them to fall to the ground.
"Ouch," Pandora hissed as she fell onto the ground, she looked up to see a blond haired boy, 'It seems that luck is on my side today.'
"I'm so sorry! Please let me help you up!" the blonde haired boy apologised while pulling Pandora back onto her feet.
''You should really be careful who you bump into,' Pandora gave a fake sad look. "They might have tried to hurt you." Alone blushed in embarrassment at Pandora's words.
"Hey! Alone, wait up!" A boy with brown hair shouted, running to his friend, he was accompanied by a purple haired girl.
'So, we have the future Pegasus saint, Athena's reincarnation and Hades vessel,' Pandora thought while closly watching the children, she was pulled out of her thoughts by Tenma.
"Who are you?" Asked Tenma, he was uncertain of Pandora. 'Who is this girl? I haven't seen her before in the village.'
"You can call me Dorea," replied Pandora with a secretive smile. For obvious reasons she couldn't use her real name. "And your names?"
"It's Tenma and this girl besides me is Sasha,'' told Tenma as he gave a grin to a shy Sasha.
My name is Alone, and again I'm sorry for bumping into you,'' said Alone to Pandora, who waved him off.
"So Dorea, where do you live? I've never seen you at the village before," asked Tenma. Sasha and Alone were also interested in Pandora's answer.
"The reason why you haven't seen me in the village before is because I am traveler," replied Pandora.
"Aren't you a bit young to be travelling by yourself?" Questioned Sasha. Pandora looked to be the same age as her, yet she had the freedom to travel.
"I guess that I am but that has never stopped me before,'' said Pandora.
"But aren't you lonely?" Asked Sasha.
Pandora was taken aback by that question. Loneliness? She hadn't even been in this world for long to feel lonely.
"Would you like to spend the day with us?" Asked Alone, bring Pandora out of her thoughts. Pandora pondered on it.
'This should be fun,' hummed Pandora, feeling excited. "Okay, seeing as I have nothing better to do."
"That's great we can take you to our secret place on the mountain,'' said Alone.
*****
The area that Alone had taken Pandora was the same place as the awakening as Hades. The trees were full of life and the red flowers reminded her of the future bloodshed that was to come. It was peaceful and it reminded Pandora of Elysium.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Sasha commented.
"Alone found this place and showed us it," continued Tenma and Alone blushed at the praise.
"It's really nothing special," Alone nervously laughed.
"But it is very beautiful..." comment Pandora as she picked up one of the red flowers.
The small group chatted the rest of the day away. A small part of Pandora felt sorry for what they would face in the future. She ended up giving her snake bracelet to Sasha, and added some charms to it. Pandora could always get another one. Sasha in return had made all of them a bracelet made of flowers.
*****
When Pandora finished with Alone, Sasha and Tenma, she changed back to her older appearance. Pandora wondered the halls of the castle in the underworld. Unlucky for her, she was met with two people, well she couldn't call them 'people,' gods would be the correct term.
"Hello Pandora," greeted Hypnos.
"Where have you been?" Thanatos continued with a smirk.
'So the twin gods...' thought Pandora.
