Lord Perseus: Rise of the Saints

The Rising Tide

3rd Person P.O.V

"What happened to Shiryu,Magnus,and Shon? Where are they?" Seiya asked looking at Black Saint's helmet made by Vander Grodd. 

"The other Bronze Knights are still alive, for now" Marin said. 

"Then I have to go and find them" Seiya said walking away. However Marin was much quicker and ran in front of him, blocking his path.

"What are you doing  Marin?" Seiya asked. 

"Seiya, what is a Saints purpose?" she asked him. 

"There's no time for your lessons, I have to go find them and the gold-" Seiya tried to explain, but Marin interrupted him.

"What is a Saints purpose?" she repeated.

"To protect Athena" he said.

"Then do you understand why Perseus and I sent you to the tournament?" Marin asked her pupil. 

Seiya sighed. "Because Sienna is Athena" he said.  

"So now you know the answer. Go and save her" she ordered.

"But I promised her I would bring back the gold armor" Seiya argued.

"The gold armor is not as important as Sienna's life. Aiolos knows this. It's why the armor appears and disappears" Marin said. 

"I promised her" Seiya repeated.

"If Sanctuary has decided to sent Silver Saints after you, than that means they'll come after Sienna. They are going to kill her. There's no one to protect her. Now go save her. That is the destiny of the Pegasus Saint" Marin said.

Seiya looked at the fake graves. "But I promised" he said again.

"Seiya" Seiya looked at Marin. "The Knights of Sanctuary believe that in times of great chaos and evil, that the goddess Athena reincarnates to save the world. But this time, when Sienna was born, she was born with a prophecy, a warning. That Athena would fail. And the dark forces of Poseidon,Hades,and Ares would rein victorious, wiping the human race from existence. The Knights of Sanctuary struggled to accept the prophecy. There sole reason of existence, under the orders of Aiolos, was to protect Athena. But if Athena's return meant the end of humanity, then why should they protect her?" Marin said. 

An image appeared above her showing three Gold Saints flying in the air at high speeds. Two of them seemed to be chasing one of them with wings. Seiya gasped. It was Aiolos. He was seeing when Aiolos was hunted down after believing to have attempted to kill his sister. And in his arms was a small child. His sister. One of them kept firing dark purple attacks which Aiolos kept dodging, while the other's hand glowed yellow forming a blade. 

"The conflict divided the Saints into two groups. Those that accepted the dark prophecy, and felt that they had to kill Athena, and those that believe the prophecy is false. Trusted in Athena. The Knights trying to disprove the prophecy and protect Athena called themselves: The Right Ones" Marin continued. 

As Seiya watched the image, he noticed the purple haired Saint created a massive ball of energy and hurled it towards Aiolos. The ball of energy race towards Aiolos at lightning speed, and instead of dodging, the Sagittarius Saint turned around shielding his sister and taking the attack. 

The image faded.

"Seiya" Marin said catching his attention once again. Seiya looked at her. "I believe in Athena. Aiolos did what he could to protect his sister, now it's up to you to do the same. When the Holy War started, Aiolos reincarnated and became mortal with his and Athena's younger brother Aiolia. When he died, his body returned to Ouranos's court to reform. Even in death, he is still helping. That's why you must got to her and protect her. She may not do this alone. You asked me once what I saw in you, why I trained you. This is why" she said. She suddenly felt something off, but didn't say anything.
