"How is he?"
"Not good, Lady Saturn," came the voice of one of her Shadow Paladins. "He barely made it through the change."
"Hmmm, perhaps a bit of nectar and rest would do the trick," she mused. "He did agree to be our spy in the midst of Pariah Dark's court."
"But why a prince of Earth?" the Shadow Paladin asked. "Pardon, milady."
"Not at all, Samhain," she said, stroking the boy's long, soft white hair. Gently she took out a silver comb and began untangling his hair. Finishing that, she divided his hair into smaller sections and began weaving tiny hematite beads into a single unbroken braid. She looked over shoulder at the spirit hiding behind one of the dark pillars. "You will watch over him, won't you?"
"Yes," the Shadow Paladin promised. "Pariah will rape him, you know. Any new young thing at court is fair game, whether male or female."
"I know," she sighed, binding off the braid with a leather thong. She placed two leather bracers on his arms, heavily studded with hematite. "This is why I have marked him with my stones. I cannot prevent the atrocity that will befall Prince Ganymede, but I can ensure the preservation of his life."
"That's..."
"The best I can do," Lady Saturn replied. "I did promise Queen Gaia when Ganymede was born that I would always be there for him."
"When the Silver Millennium falls..."
Lady Saturn gave a long hard look at the Shadow Paladin, who gulped. "I will be there when we are reborn. Pluto and Clockwork have both promised me this. Ganymede is mine, not Pariah's. Am I clear?"
"Yes, Princess Persephone."
