So I felt the need to write this after I watched the first 60- something episodes dubbed, most on YouTube, and a few other online, as in the Asgard Arc and Hades Arc. And Yeah, I'm breaking into the Omega of this series as well. I loved how they made Eden, just fan-fucking-tasitc, Jesse Anderson as a saint. I loved it, and I was like so how about I make my fave Saint ( Saint Orpheus of the Lyra ) and make him a reincarnation. I did. She is Shun and Hyoga's daughter. The young girl starts out 5 and gets to 17. But she is trained in the ways of a Virgin, as in Virgo, and plus the training of her parents till she was four.
The reason I see her as their daughter is because, ( SPOILERS! ), Shun being the mortal incarnation of Hades' body, seeing as the man can be very kind, he blesses the mortal body he was to have with a child, with his beloved. The soul he sends, though, is Orphee/Orpheus. So Shun raises the saint that is destined for tragedy from the get-go.
Though the original Idea was to have the young girl befriend the saints, Seiya and his gang of Bronze heroes, and show them what a woman can do for the world of Sainthood, seeing as most female saints are not strong characters, in the sense of being a main character. Also their never as strong as their male-counterparts, which is pretty unfair, if I say so myself.
Extended Summary will be here : Saints of Athena are meant to protect what they believe with the hope of bringing the planet Earth to peace from the wars it faces. Many of those saints still stand and fight for the goddess who reigns over Earth.
As some would know, Orphee/Orpheus, the saint of the constellation Lyra, had perished in the depths of Hell. Along with the love of his life.
So what happens when his soul is asked to return and be the child of two saints who helped him in the past? As their daughter no less. He agrees and becomes her, adding room in his ever going soul. He had no memories of his past self as the newborn arrives.
The young girl is raised and trained for the role she was chosen.
Her life didn't start till she realized who she was, maybe a certain boy could help her realize this.
She is very wild, and can be very feminine, but as a saint, and a woman, you give up femininity. She doesn't and learns females are just as strong as males this way, her mentor never thought of her gender, he just thought of her mind. Her body was tough, but she had her limits. Her half-brother Kai knew this the best.
And this is a Love Story for the ever Sweet couple Shiaka and Eden, and they are the reincarnates of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Here is a short Summary of them :
Orpheus and Eurydice get married, but later that night, Eurydice is bit by a snake and dies. So far, so terrible. Overcome with grief, Orpheus travels to the Underworld to bring her back to life. He convinces Hades and Persephone to let Eurydice go, but her release comes with a catch: Eurydice must walk behind him as they ascend to the upper world, and Orpheus is forbidden from looking at her. Seems easy enough, right?
Unfortunately, Orpheus is overcome with passion just as they reach the exit. He turns to look at Eurydice and she is immediately sent back to the Underworld - forever. Orpheus is devastated (again) and roams around Greece playing sad songs. Eventually, he is ripped to shreds by a group of drunken mad women.
Also Shiaka loves to hear this story and thinks of how her life is without and with Eden. So she has the chose of to be or not be.
Also this is a summary, and here is the long version
Orpheus was the son of Apollo and the muse Calliope. He was presented by his father with a lyre and taught to play upon it, and he played to such perfection that nothing could withstand the charm of his music. Not only his fellow mortals, but wild beasts were softened by his strains, and gathering round him laid by their fierceness, and stood entranced with his lay. Nay, the very trees and rocks were sensible to the charm. The former crowded round him and the latter relaxed somewhat of their hardness, softened by his notes.
Hymen had been called to bless with his presence the nuptials of Orpheus with Eurydice; but though he attended, he brought no happy omens with him. His very torch smoked and brought tears into their eyes. In coincidence with such prognostics Eurydice, shortly after her marriage, while wandering with the nymphs, her companions, was seen by the shepherd Aristaeus, who was struck with her beauty, and made advances to her. She fled, and in flying trod upon a snake in the grass, was bitten in the foot and died. Orpheus sang his grief to all who breathed the upper air, both gods and men, and finding it all unavailing resolved to seek his wife in the regions of the dead. He descended by a cave situated on the side of the promontory of Taenarus and arrived at the Stygian realm. He passed through crowds of ghosts, and presented himself before the throne of Pluto and Proserpine.
Accompanying the words with the lyre, he sung, "O deities of the underworld, to whom all we who live must come, hear my words, for they are true! I come not to spy out the secrets of Tartarus, nor to try my strength against the three-headed dog with snaky hair who guards the entrance. I come to seek my wife, whose opening years the poisonous viper's fang has brought to an untimely end. Love had led me here, Love, a god all powerful with us who dwell on the earth, and, if old traditions say true, not less so here. I implore you by these abodes full of terror, these realms of silence and uncreated things, unite again the thread of Eurydice's life. We all are destined to you, and sooner or later must pass to your domain. She too, when she shall have filled her term of life, will rightly be yours. But till then grant her to me, I beseech you. If you deny me, I cannot return alone; you shall triumph in the death of us both." As he sang these tender strains, the very ghosts shed tears. Tantalus, in spite of his thirst, stopped for a moment his efforts for water, Ixion's wheel stood still, the vulture ceased to tear the giant's liver, the daughters of Danaus rested from their task of drawing water in a sieve, and Sisyphus sat on his rock to listen. Then for the first time, it is said, the cheeks of the Furies were wet with tears. Proserpine could not resist, and Pluto himself gave way. Eurydice was called. She came from among the new-arrived ghosts, limping with her wounded foot. Orpheus was permitted to take her away with him on one condition, that he should not turn round to look at her till they should have reached the upper air.
Under this condition they proceeded on their way, he leading, she following, through passages dark and steep, in total silence, till they had nearly reached the outlet into the cheerful upper world, when Orpheus, in a moment of forgetfulness, to assure himself that she was still following, cast a glance behind him, when instantly she was borne away. Stretching out their arms to embrace one another they grasped only the air. Dying now a second time she yet cannot reproach her husband, for how can she blame his impatience to behold her? "Farewell," she said, "a last farewell," and was hurried away, so fast that the sound hardly reached his ears. Orpheus endeavored to follow her, and besought permission to return and try once more for her release but the stern ferryman repulsed him and refused passage. Seven days he lingered about the brink, without food or sleep; then bitterly accusing of cruelty the powers of Erebus, he sang his complaints to the rocks and mountains, melting the hearts of tigers and moving the oaks from their stations. He held himself aloof from womankind, dwelling constantly on the recollection of his sad mischance.
The Thracian maidens tried their best to captivate him, but he repulsed their advances. They bore with him as long as they could; but finding him insensible, one day, one of them, excited by the rites of Bacchus, exclaimed, "See yonder our despiser!" and threw at him her javelin. The weapon, as soon as it came within the sound of his lyre, fell harmless at his feet. So did also the stones that they threw at him. But the women raised a scream and drowned the voice of the music, and then the missiles reached him and soon were stained with his blood. The maniacs tore him limb from limb, and threw his head and his lyre into the river Hebrus, down which they floated, murmuring sad music, to which the shores responded a plaintive symphony. The Muses gathered up the fragments of his body and buried them at Libethra, where the nightingale is said to sing over his grave more sweetly than in any other part of Greece. His lyre was placed by Jupiter among the stars. His shade passed a second time to Tartarus, where he sought out his Eurydice and embraced her, with eager arms. They roam through those happy fields together now, sometimes he leads, sometimes she; and Orpheus gazes as much as he will upon her, no longer incurring a penalty for a thoughtless glance.
So here we have the lovely tale, and it will be in the Prologue. Also this very AU-ish, but I have to have it that way, with Hyoga and Shun out of commission in Omega and this being set in it. So yeah, if I don't do this properly get over it, I said AU and it will be OOC as well. I'm not sure how most act by reading about them, but I try.
{ Disclaimer! I do not own this franchise, or make any money on this fanfic. But it is in honor of their 40 years of being alive! Most of the characters from the show, the original series that is, are 40 years old, and that makes me smile. My faves are heros and have been for years. So, once again, I do not own these characters or anything, I own only the few OCs scattered within, also most pairing are non-canon. Most who don't know this, Seiya and Saori are not canon, and Hyoga and whoever he liked ( at the time of the show ) are not either, Seiya and Hyoga are gay this story and have had children, Hyoga being the only one who had one with a man. Seiya slept with a(n) ( undisclosed ) woman. [ Marin ] }
