I don't own any of the Saint Seiya series btw. :D
Despite of having a god in the Sanctuary, there's no other special events happened aside from the welcome party few days ago as per Melpomene's wish to just keep what they have been doing like she wasn't existent. However, there are some curious gold saints who can't help but stole glances to the hooded goddess. Although the curiosity about the goddess is eating them (mainly Kardia and Manigoldo) they never bothered to ask her as they rarely seen the goddess but whenever they got together, talks about her will definitely be the subject.
It was one of those mornings when Sisyphus awakened earlier than his usual and decided to run around the Sanctuary ground. Leaving his temple, he meets the young Gemini saint to his glee. The two exchange greetings and decided to run together. Out the sudden, Sisyphus asked Aspros about his thoughts to the muse.
"Lady Melpomene? She's somehow an odd goddess." Aspros answer made the Sagittarius saint puzzled and seeing his face, he decided to continue. "I have this belief that gods would rather love to have themselves known and worshipped. I'm sure even Athena wanted to be acknowledged yet she wanted to be isolated, to be ignored by us like she is just an ordinary person with no deeming trait. Like, she wasn't a goddess or doesn't like to be one."
Nodding Sisyphus also noticed it. After the party, the goddess could be hardly seen. "But I think it is just her antics. Remember what the mythology told us? Musa aren't fond of interacting with others except for their own kind. Humans or gods alike, they would prefer to be alone or to be with their sisters. Perhaps that is indeed true as Lady Melpomene seems to fancy to be on her own."
"Well it doesn't really matter to us right? After all she is a divine being that shouldn't be touched and we are just mere mortals and Athena's saints." Aspros spoke indifferently without looking at his partner. He didn't even notice that Sisyphus had stopped running.
"Shouldn't be touched eh?" The Sagittarius saint softly muttered as he remembered the Muse of Tragedy. He was not sure as to why he find the idea repulsive. "Because you wanted her touch as you wanted to be touched by her." A tiny voice whispered at the back of his mind and he was stunned. How dare he think about such thought!
"Oi Sisyphus! I'll gonna leave you behind if you keep on stalling!" Hearing Aspros, the centaur decided to disregard it and started to jog towards the Gemini.
On the other side, Melpomene who was already on her feet strolling the forest, sat down at the nearby spring to rest. By on by, while looking at her own reflection, the scene changed and showed her father's dignified form. Surprised, she was about to stand up to greet him but was stopped. "There's no need for you to bow my child. Stay as you were." Her father, the ruler of the Olympus with his golden hair shines along the reflecting sun rays and his clear blue eyes mirrors the sky calmly spoke. "Ah. It's glad to see you feeling great my daughter. Somehow it became boring when I can't see you at the Olympus."
"Blessings upon the ruler of Olympus. What might be the cause of your sudden contact?" Hearing that Zeus chuckles. "As expected of you, child of mine. Yes you got it right. There is indeed something I want you to do for me." It was always like this. Whenever he got the chance to talk with her, his daughter will just brush off his words except for his orders. Unlike her other sisters or any woman, might be in the Olympus or on earth, she never get affected or swooned by him. Whether it is such a sweet talk or a heart talk as a father, his beloved muse never batted an eye. It makes him mad and yet at the same time it makes him want her. Ah to desire a fruit of your own. Disregarding such thoughts with another quiet laughter, Zeus started to relay his will. "Melpomene my sweet child, hear me. On the North East of Mediterranean Sea, there's once a certain flourishing yet at the same time preposterous village that now was known as a country, Pompeii was its name which holds the mirror of your mother. It was her gift to the village before when they have helped her yet those people became full of themselves as they used the mirror for selfishness. People believing they finally had power of gods started to ostracize the gods. They became full of themselves to the extent that they created and worshipped a false god with their king as the vessel they said mightier than us, than me. Such blasphemy! Cast them out. Befell them the punishment on my behalf, a death appropriate for the sin they have committed against gods, against me."
