Our story begins in a country that dwells below Italy along the coast of the Mediterranean. Home of the Kingdom of the Gods and powerful Greek Heroes. Even more superior than that. There. The Athenian Temple at the capital town of Athens. A historical monument of Greece and a birth place of the legendary Saint Knights of Athena. As you can probably tell, it's August. Well, at Athens, August is when the bus comes.
It pulled up in front of the bus stop, and out jumped a lovely girl with light brown hair, squinted dark brown eyes and she's wearing a cute aquamarine kimono like outfit and there are white leather boots that reached up to the top of her shins upon her feet. On her back was a little nap sack and what she carries in her arms was a harp like instrument. A lyre. She looked around the wilderness and beauty of the lovely town surrounding the temple that stood before her. She then turned to the bus, sat down her lyre, and stretched out her arms. "Here you go." Called out the bus driver. Then, what landed on her arms heavily, causing her to fall was a large silver box. A box containing a particular treasure! It had the same lyre carving on the surface with some other majestic figures. As the bus drove off, the girl finally got up on her feet and mumbled with a sigh of relief. "Thanks a bunch." She sat on top of her box.
All of a sudden, the box began to glow! It's a reaction! As she rode on it, the box tugged her and her belongings down towards a path down the little town. Then, loomed before her was a large house made of marble entirely! It was beautiful and it was below the cliff of where the Athens Temple stood.
Still riding on the magical box, the girl began to realize that she's about to hit the doorway! "Uh oh." She exclaimed. The doors automatically opened and she crashed into a wall! Her box was okay but, her nap sack was unzipped open. Her stuff was all over her. She kicked in order to sit up. The people in the house gasped at the sight they saw, mistaking her as a moving creature.
A 17 year old young man with green hair, light green eyes, wearing a green t-shirt and white overalls starred at the moving figure. His name was Shun. "What is that?" He asked. A young man, about the same age as Shun with blond hair, a blue shirt, black leggings and orange boots mumbled as he saw the moving object too. His name was Hyoga of the Cygnus Cloth. "It's uh. . . It's a thing." Shun moved slowly. "It must be the last of some rare and endangered species." "Or it could be some wild animal of some sort. Or maybe one of Greece's historical monsters in mythology." Suggested a young man in lavender colored Chinese clothes and long black hair. His name is Shiryu and he has the cloth of Draco or which he calls the Emerald Dragon Cloth. Then, another young man with brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a red shirt and jeans came up to the sight. He is Seiya. He grinned as he cracked his knuckles. "Cool. Let's kill it."
"Wait a minute." Shiryu was realizing that the figure was only a young girl by the age of 15 trying to uncover herself as she tried to sit up again. As Seiya was about to attack, he stopped him just in time. "Seiya! No!" He hold back his fist as Shiryu said so. He starred at her while she starred at him back. She then looked around the house. The other young men and three young women with masks starred too. Most of them asked each other questions of how the girl got into their home. "Who do you think she is?" "She must be an orphan for someone at the age of 15. She's quiet beautiful too." "I wonder where are her parents too." "Where did she come from?" "She must be a young Marine Saint in training perhaps, by looking at her cloth. Or she might be a Bronze Saint."
Then came three other young women. One of them was in a magenta Chinese outfit and her hair was braided. The second was wearing a light purple dress with a white apron and the third was wearing the same thing as the second but, her dress was light blue and she had blond hair. Their names are Shunrei, Miho, and Elli. Miho crouched down and asked. "Hey, are you lost?" The girl shook her head. Elli asked her another question. "What is your name?"
She smiled and greeted. "Hello. Call me Kayleigh. Because, I am." "Of course, we've been expecting you." Answered a tall young man with dark crimson hair and dressed in an elegant black outfit, coming down the stairs to Kayleigh. He almost looked like Shun.
He took her hand and shook it with his. "I am Hades. Any problems, come and see me. If you don't have any problems, see me anyway and we'll celebrate your lack of problems."
He introduced all the members of the household. "Uh, this is Seiya of the Pegasus Cloth. He's leader of the Bronze Saint Knights." "Hey! Kayleigh!" Seiya cheered as he gave the new girl a high five. Hades spoke afterwards. "This is Aphrodite of the Golden Cloth of Pisces. He's from the Gold Saint group." A handsome young man with light blue hair and light blue eyes offered Kayleigh a white rose. She let out a light sigh as she looked into his eyes while her cheeks began to blush lightly. He took her hand and said. "Charmed I'm sure." The he kneel down to kiss her hand. It made her heart beat in a full pulse as her blush through her cheeks got even darker in the hue of pink. "My! What a gentleman!" She exclaimed. Hades continued. "This is. . . the rest." All of the other Gold Knights, Silver, Steel, including the Bronze Saint Knights greeted her. Even Miho, Shunrei and Elli. "Hello, Kayleigh." Said Shun.
Finally, Hades announced. "And together, we are. . ." Then, they all sang their theme song.
"Saint Seiya! Just like Pegasus. . .! Saint Seiya! Flap your wings now!"
Then they all called out as they put their hands together. "The Saint Knights of the Zodiac!"
Hades then asked. "So, come to join the team like your elderly brother did, I suppose?" She answered. "Yeah. The Mistress wanted a singing and constellation navigating female Saint Knight." "And, what can you do upon that statement, exactly?" Asked Shiryu. She answered again, showing her box and her instrument. "I can fight with my singing voice as both: offense and defense. Plus, I can find my constellation and other constellations anywhere in the night with my magical lyre. Even my cloth f Lyra. It's great!" "Sounds simply fabulous." Said Miho. "Splendid." Said Hades. "Let's see it in action!" Said Seiya eagerly.
Shun got a star globe and sat it on the floor. Then, Kayleigh set her cloth in front of it, and tuned her lyre. Now, she's ready. Shun asked as he spun the globe."Okay, Kayleigh. Where is the constellation of Draco the Dragon?" Kayleigh gave a strum on the strings and her cloth glowed to the sound and then, created a beam of light, which have pointed to the exact constellation on the globe. The crowd was amazed. Especially Seiya. "Totally cool!" Shun asked her another question as he spun it again. "Andromeda, the Chained Princess?" She strummed and the magic did the same thing again. "Super cool." Exclaimed Seiya again. "Very astonishing on navigating the name of Shun's cloth and mine." Said Shiryu. Shun asked her one more question as he picked up the globe from the floor. "And those Rome Beauty Apples I bought that are just for me?" She curiously strummed, then the light from her cloth pointed towards Hyoga in which he ate them! Shun observed closely. Everyone laughed. "Hah! Hyoga, you cheated!" Laughed Seiya. Hyoga starred at Shun nervously and said. "Sorry." "Hey!" He cried as he gave him a small shove.
Kayleigh put down her lyre and jumped happily. "I knew it! It's going to be so much fun! Oh, I know what we do for one day in one month of the year. But, what do we do for the next 12 months, 364 days? Huh?" Hades answered. "Well we. . ." Then there's his image of him and the rest of the team excersising in a large gym. It meant training. Then he replied when the image disappeared. "Sort of like that." "Oh." She pondered. "I was expecting it to be more sort of. . ." Her image spelled out enjoying the sights of Greece and tell each other tall stories about the country's legendary myth's with the knights. Then she stated another thing. "Maybe a little bit of. . ." Her next statement on her next image was sitting in front of the fire place, playing her lyre and singing songs for Shun, Seiya, Aphrodite and the others during the winter.
But, Hades convinced. "Sorry, Kayleigh. But, it's definitely. . ." Well, you guessed it. Training. "Right." She answered. She then turned to Seiya. "When is the next bus out?" He mumbled. "Uh. . . April." Kayleigh fainted but she's okay. "Training it is then." She answered.
As she carried her nap sack and her lyre upstairs that lead to the corridors of the rooms, she talked with Shun. His brother, Ikki of the Phoenix Cloth helped her by carrying her cloth. She asked. "So, becoming an Eternal Saint Knight of Athena, Shun? Is it a laugh?" He humbly shook his head. "I'm not at the right level for becoming an Eternal Saint just yet. I'm still in support crew." "Sometimes, I do intend to help Shun on his things too." Said Ikki as he set down her cloth on the top stair step. Shun nodded in agreement with his brother. "You see, there's a Bronze Saint to do physicals, a Bronze Saint to cook, a Bronze Saint to wash up. And all of those Bronze Saints are me, Shun of the Andromeda Cloth."
Kayleigh put down her nap sack and her lyre, then sat on top of her cloth box. "You know, Shun. I always knew that you're the Saint of Andromeda. I like the name of it and the constellation all the time. And it's story about her. The armor is suitable for someone like you." She said. "Hmm, thanks. You sure are smart for a young 15 year old." "Why, thank you too." "However, Kayleigh." Said Ikki. "My question is, if you're not into excersise, what on earth are you doing here?" She sighed. "My siblings sent me. Character building. Heh. Apparently, I normally get easily distracted. For that I'm still. . ." Then she saw a handsome young man sitting on a couch, reading a book. He looked really beautiful in her opinion! "Woah, woah, woah! Whoo! He is nice, isn't he? The guy who offered me that rose earlier!" "Hmm. Aphrodite's his name." Said Shun. "Aphrodite? What a beautiful name!"
As Shun and Ikki led the girl to her room, she explained. "That name was the name of. . . what is she just now? It's right at the tip of my tongue. Oh yes! Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love! He's just as beautiful as her! And I can recall her son, Cupid." The brothers looked at eachother. "I don't think a historian or an astromoner taught her that." Ikki said. "It's either those, or a star planetarium or a greek philosopher." He then took another look at her, being lovesick about Aphrodite. "I find it hard to believe that she'll be a walking encyclopedia about Greek Mythology."
They showed her the room. "This is your room, Kayleigh." "A bit small but still good. Has a lovely view of Aphrodite's garden and the Temple of Athens. She moved in, and she felt comfortable with it as she made herself at home. Then Ikki and Shun went back downstairs.
