Lord Perseus: Rise of the Saints

Memories of the Past-part 3

3RD Person P.O.V

"Whose that? Is it you Alone?" Sasha thought in her dream like vision. The one known as Alone had his back turned, but Sasha knew that it was her brother. Sasha noticed that Alone's flower bracelet, an exact copy of hers and Tenma's split in half. She noticed blood coming down from his face, almost like tears.

"Is he crying?" she thought. Alone started to walk away. Sasha looked on hurt. 

"Where are you going?" she asked, her arm reaching out to him. "Come back! What's in your arm?" she called out to him.Alone stopped and turned around. The flower petals from the tree the two were near flying in Sasha's face. 

When Sasha was able to see again, she looked on at her brother in horror. He was covered in armor that she was all to familiar with. Not one like the Specters Armor, but much worse. In Alone's arm was a white cloth that seemed to cover something or someone. 

The cloth unveiled itself much to Sasha's horror. 

"Tenma" she gasped "COME BACK" she called out before opening her eyes from her sleep.

"PLEASE NO" she yelled out her arm stretched out grasping the invisible air. 

Sasha go up and looked at her own flower bracelet. While hers was intact, just looking at it brought painful memories. 

"Lady Athena" the voice Aries Shion called out from the other side of her chambers. Sasha was snapped out of her thoughts."We have a message for you" he said.

"We Aries Shion, and Libra Dohko, have returned from our important mission to Italy. There is bad news to report. We must inform you that we were defeated. Three Silver Saints and one Bronze are injured. In addition two Bronze Saints are most likely dead" Shion said. 

Sasha stood up on her bed, her feet resting on the cold ground of her chambers. Sasha had a feeling that she knew who the Bronze Saints that perished were. 

"The town near the forests cathedral has been annihilated. Everything there was lost. Everyone perished" he said referring to Sasha's home town.  

There was a brief pause. Shion had to choose his next words carefully, not wanting to upset his goddess.

"And....the man chosen as the reincarnation of Hades is named.....Alone" he said. Sasha gasped, her worst fear coming to light. She tightened her hands in her lap. 

"Tell me....What were the names of the dead Bronze Saints" she asked. Dohko's eyes opened, if Sasha could see him now, all she would see is pain,anger and grief.

"Yes....Unicorn Yato and Pegasus Tenma" he said tears threatening to fall from his eyes. 

Sasha was doing no better. "I see...thank you" she said. Sasha then steadied her resolve and got up from her bed and walked down the steps closer to the chamber doors. 

"We must regroup, we know that the Specters will be advancing on the Sanctuary very soon. Tighten Security according to the Popes Instructions immediately, and prepare to intercept the attackers. As for you...Dohko, and Shion" Sasha said.

Dohko and Shion took a deep breath in from the bow that they were in. "Yes" they said in unison, ready to serve their goddess. 

"Thank you for your hard work. You have fought with all your heart and soul. Rest with the other Saints, and prepare for the coming battle" Sasha said in gratitude to her brother's warriors.

"Lady Athena.....she's so brave.....her heart must be aching. Athena" Dohko thought. Sasha stood impassively her thoughts swarming of Tenma's death, wishing that she could have been there.
