Lord Perseus: Rise of the Saints

Memories of the Past-Part 1

3RD PERSON P.O.V.

18th Century

Sienna was in a small village in the Kingdom of Naples. She noticed that this was more of a memory than a dream. Walking along the path she heard laughing and decided to follow it. There she saw a young Tenma, her, and Alone running and playing. Nearing them she could hear them talking.

"Be careful with that it's really important" young Tenma said picking up the book. "Sorry Tenma" Alone said apologetically. "Alone are you ok?" young Sasha said before turning around and noticed a man walk up to her. His hair was blond and his eyes blue. On his back he carried a gold box with the symbol of an archer. Sienna remembered this day. It was the day Sisyphus brought her back to Sanctuary as the reincarnated Athena in the 18th century. Sienna slowly smiled at the memory before looking at it.

"I have been searching, and now I've found you. Athena" the man said bowing down on one knee.

"Goddess Athena" young Sasha said perplexed as to what he is talking about.

"That's right, destiny will take you beyond this small town. A Holy War will soon begin. The worlds fate hangs in the balance. You must lead us to victory" the man said.

"Crusade" Sasha said "my true home" tugging on Tenma's sleeve.

"Who do you think you are and why are you trying to kidnap Sasha" Tenma said fiercely.

"I know this is hard to understand. Listen we don't have much time, dark forces are already gathering. The resurrection of Lord Hades has already begun. All of humanity is in danger. He will seek you out. If you stay in this place you will die" the man said trying to make the little girl understand before looking down. "Please come. I beg of you" the last part was said as a whisper.

Sienna was soon looking at her past self walking away with Sisyphus with Tenma calling her name. "TENMA" she cried. Her voice becoming like a distant echo. What was said next or rather what was heard made Sienna freeze, realizing where this was going.

"I can't shake the feeling that if I never took her away, that sweet child could have a normal village life. But this is a duty of a Saint. Fate wills it so. This path leads to earths salvation" Sisyphus though before he felt the young girls hand close tightly on his own.

"No it's the other way around" Sasha said only it wasn't. Soon the entire area around them was in flames. Sisyphus looked at the girl pulling his hand away. "Your act has interfered with the affairs of the gods this is the result. Sisyphus what you've just done, sets events in motion" Sasha said looking at him. Her green eyes piercing his soul. His clothes morphed into his gold armor.

"What have I done" Sisyphus thought. "You know exactly what you've done. You've created Hades when you took me from Alone" young Sasha said to him.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH" Sisyphus cried in pain as the fires burned him. Young Sasha's stare never wavering. "You did it" she said.

"She's right" he thought, his form beginning to glow. "YOUR THE ONE WHO STARTED THIS HOLY WAR" she shouted as Sisyphus's armor tore itself from his body forming back into the Sagittarius Cloth. The Cloth turned to him pointing its arrow. Notched right at his heart.

"Yes it's true. I started the crusade I have no right to call myself a Saint. You agree with me don't you Sagittarius" he thought. "If you do, pierce my heart with your arrow" he said. The cloth fired, the arrow hitting its mark. Blood oozed from the wound. Sisyphus fell to his knees in pain.
